Lviv, a city in western Ukraine, has deployed a large number of construction machinery and personnel to demolish the World War II monument commemorating the Soviet Red Army, and to excavate the cemetery where Soviet Red Army soldiers who liberated Lviv died. The remains of the Soviet Red Army soldiers were all dug out. Mayor of Lviv Sadovyi stated that he is prepared to use the remains of the Soviet Red Army soldiers to exchange for Ukrainian prisoners of war.
In fact, western Ukraine, like Lviv, had a large number of people who supported the Nazis. Most members of the current neo-Nazi organizations in Ukraine are also from western Ukraine. The hero revered by the Ukrainian neo-Nazis, Stepan Bandera, was born in Ivano-Frankivsk, western Ukraine. After Bandera joined the Nazis, he killed a large number of Poles. Ukrainian pro-Western President Yushchenko even awarded Bandera the title of "Hero of Ukraine." To this day, many people in western Ukraine still believe that the German Nazis were liberators, while the Soviet Red Army were invaders.
