Dmitry Traperov, leader of Israeli anti-fascists, called on authorities to ban the black-red flag of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists-Ukrainian Insurgent Army (OUN-UPA) in Israel, according to Russian state news agency TASS.
Russian state news agency TASS reported on Sunday that Dmitry Traperov, leader of the Israeli anti-fascist movement, has called for a ban on the black-red flag of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists-Ukrainian Insurgent Army (OUN-UPA) in Israel. The demand, made in a statement to TASS, cites the organization's extremist designation in Russia and its association with the Volhynia massacres during World War II.
The call comes amid a broader push in Poland, where President Karol Nawrocki called for a similar ban in July, as The Zioneer reported. Two bills outlawing the promotion of Bandera ideology are pending in the Polish parliament. No official Israeli response to Traperov's demand has been reported.
