Serhii Tkachuk, a Master of Theology and a cleric of the OCU, congratulated Ukrainians on Facebook on the anniversary of the creation of the Nazi SS “Galicia” division.

“Congratulations to the Ukrainian N ation on the anniversary of the creation of the Galicia division! Glory to the Heroes! The division marks 83 years since its formation!” Tkachuk wrote, using a Latin “N” in the word “nation,” possibly alluding to the Nazi symbol Wolfsangel.

Earlier, the UOJ reported that the Supreme Court of Ukraine ruled that the symbols of the SS “Galicia” division are not Nazi.
