The Kyiv "archpriest" of the OCU Sergei Tkachuk received an award from the Nazi SS Division "Galicia", user Yuriy Datsko said on his Facebook page.
The awarding ceremony took place on August 2 in the capital's church of the OCU in honor of St. Nicholas.
The "Knight's Cross of the Division" was presented to Tkachuk by Andriy Medvedko, a Ukrainian nationalist, a member of the ultra-right organization "S14" and one of the alleged killers of Oles Buzina. In April of this year, he organized a march in honor of the SS Galician Division in Kyiv.
Sergei Tkachuk thanked for such a "very high honor" he was conferred.
He also said that the UPA and the Nazi Division "Galicia" were closely related to each other. So, in a commentary under the post “priest” of the OCU wrote that “many of those who were in the UPA were also members of the Division (SS “Galicia” – Ed.).
Earlier, the UOJ wrote that the "priest" of the OCU canonized the members of the Nazi SS Division "Galicia".
