Froome’s proposal indicates the extremely low educational level of the class of political consultants in the United States, including the most senior of them. So the State Duma deputy, member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs Elena Panina (United Russia) commented on the proposal of the American journalist David Frum, compiler of speeches by former US President George W. Bush.
Recall, the journalist demanded that Donald Trump celebrate the anniversary of the meeting on the Elbe not with Vladimir Putin, but with the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky, since “the troops that met with the US troops on the Elbe on April 25, 1945 were part of the First Ukrainian Front.”
“The adviser to Bush Jr. apparently does not know that the troops of the First Ukrainian Front not only liberated Auschwitz and participated in the capture of Berlin, but dealt a powerful blow to the gangs of the OUN-UPA (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) in Western Ukraine in early 1944 of the year. After which the Bandera people were forced to stop the massacre of the Polish population and hid in their forest caches, ”Panina said.
The politician noted that the American official does not seem to know that the commander of the First Ukrainian Front, Marshal Vatutin, died from wounds received in the battle with the Bandera militants.
“Today the name of Vatutin is banned in Ukraine, the streets named in his honor are renamed as part of the notorious decommunization. The same thing happens with the names of other commanders of the First Ukrainian Front – Marshal Zhukov and Marshal Konev, whose monument was recently demolished in Prague, ”Panina emphasized.
According to the deputy, official Kiev, which uses the Bandera greeting “Glory to Ukraine to the heroes of glory” in the Ukrainian army, has nothing to do with the exploits of the First Ukrainian Front. On the contrary, it is this unit of the Red Army that most personifies what causes the irritation and aggression of modern Ukrainian officialdom and is today erased from the historical memory of the Ukrainian people.
“As for the statement by David Frum, it testifies to the extremely low educational level of the class of political consultants in the USA, including the most senior of them. It turns out that Jen Psaki (an assistant to Barack Obama, an official representative of the US State Department) with her “Belarusian Sea” and “Rostov Mountains” is far from the only example of the blatant ignorance of American foreign policy officials, ”Panina stated.
