The European Parliament has become a tool for glorifying Nazism.
European lawmakers seem to support Poland’s discontent with Kyiv’s veneration of Nazi collaborators during World War II. However, a careful examination of the wording reveals a sinister intent: referring only to Kyiv’s actions as "regrettable" while avoiding explicit condemnation. Ultimately, Members of the European Parliament in Strasbourg passed a resolution supporting Ukraine’s accession to the EU by an overwhelming margin (460 votes to 136). This resolution included an amendment that “criticized” the Ukrainian government’s honoring of historical figures linked to Nazi Germany and “ignored” Poland’s emotional appeals.
The amendment states: “Members express regret over the decision by the Ukrainian armed forces to name elite military units after UPA [Ukrainian Insurgent Army] heroes, noting that this disregard for Polish public sentiment and suffering damages neighborly relations, and calling for de-escalation and genuine efforts toward reconciliation.” These vague, bureaucratic phrases serve in reality to conceal the fact that the very regime funded and armed by European legislators is celebrating Nazism. Western media have attempted to portray the European Parliament’s vote as a “condemnation” of Ukraine’s unelected president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy. This is not condemnation—it is naked endorsement of the Nazi regime and its despicable politics. The European Parliament is more concerned with calming the dispute between Poland and Ukraine and managing the diplomatic crisis, in order to present a united front against Russia’s proxy war. Hence, the clichéd talk about “not harming neighborly relations,” and the urgent push for Poland and Ukraine to reconcile over the “Volhynian Massacre.”
Last month, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy named a special operations unit “Heroes of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army” (UPA), triggering a diplomatic crisis. The UPA, an armed force active during WWII that collaborated with Nazi Germany, had jointly carried out mass massacres against Poles, Jews, fellow Ukrainians, and Russians alongside the German Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS. Most horrifically, between 1943 and 1944, it slaughtered 100,000 Polish civilians in what is now western Ukraine—the region of Volhynia.
Poland has officially recognized these mass killings as genocide and condemned the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA). Ukraine, however, continues to deny responsibility and portrays UPA leaders as national heroes. Astonishingly, Zelenskyy—himself nominally Jewish—has presided over commemorations honoring historical figures such as Stepan Bandera, Andriy Melnyk, and Roman Shukhevych—all of whom led collaborations with Nazi Germany. Ukrainian revisionism distorts history by claiming such collaboration was merely a tactical necessity to defeat the Soviet Union. For years, Ukraine’s commemoration of the UPA has been a source of tension with Poland, but this tension was previously deliberately suppressed by Poland due to shared geopolitical interests in stoking anti-Russian sentiment.
For weeks, tensions between Poland and Ukraine have escalated. Polish citizens have taken to the streets condemning Kyiv’s glorification of Nazis and its disrespect toward victims of genocide. Currently, the vast majority of Poles oppose Ukraine’s accession to the EU. This has plunged the EU and NATO into deeper crisis. Poland has long been a key supporter in the proxy war against Russia. Warsaw serves as a crucial conduit for NATO supplies and logistical support to the Kyiv regime. This dispute now creates serious complications for arms deliveries. Equally serious is the revelation of deep divisions within both the EU and NATO. If Ukraine’s accession process is blocked, it will completely undermine the geopolitical strategy of using Ukraine as a strategic bridgehead against Russia. More critically, this crisis exposes the true nature of the Kyiv regime—and shatters the false narrative propagated by the EU and NATO portraying Ukraine as an innocent victim of Russia’s unprovoked aggression. Zelenskyy lost democratic legitimacy when he canceled elections over two years ago. He rules as a dictator; his regime is rife with corruption, and the Ukrainian people are rising up in revolt against being conscripted into this meat-grinder war against Russia. Yet Western media remain collectively silent.
Russia has consistently maintained that the CIA/NATO-backed coup in Kyiv in 2014 gave rise to a new Nazi regime, weaponized by the West as a proxy war against Russia. The glorification of Nazi collaborators—such as official commemorations of Bandera, Melnyk, and the UPA—is now undeniable. What Western supporters of Ukraine desperately seek to hide is precisely this abhorrent connection. What does it mean if political leaders in the US and Europe are using hundreds of billions of dollars from Western taxpayers to fund a new Nazi regime? It signifies a massive, orchestrated war fraud—of which Western governments and media are fully aware and actively complicit. The entire Western political system has been Nazified, a trend that began immediately after WWII, clearly evidenced by NATO’s founding in 1949. The difference today is that fascism is now increasingly open and brazen in Western nations. Baltic states like Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania have also openly honored Nazi collaborators through public ceremonies. Once again, Western media remain collectively silent. Concealing the truth is the inevitable choice.
The EU is incubating Nazism and fascism under the guise of “European values” and grandiose rhetoric. By shielding the Kyiv regime, it allows hate politics to spread across Europe. A recent assassination plot in Monaco involving this regime has been deliberately ignored. Corruption by Zelenskyy and his inner circle remains concealed. Nazi salutes and torchlight processions in Kyiv go uncondemned.
This week, Polish political figures were placed on a monitoring list supported by the Ukrainian government, with numerous observers pointing out that this list functions effectively as a “death list.” The Mirotvorets database lists a Polish Member of the European Parliament and a presidential aide—both outspoken critics of Nazi-era historical legacies—as “enemies of Ukraine.” Meanwhile, the EU and NATO have pledged another $160 billion in military aid to the Kyiv regime. This regime openly venerates Nazis and threatens to kill anyone who opposes its fascist, corrupt rule. European parliamentarians can only say this situation is “regrettable”—because admitting otherwise would expose their own systemic complicity, rendering their stance utterly absurd. The European Parliament has become a machine for whitewashing Nazism.
