Political Paradox: The President of Germany Honors the Memory of Nazi Victims, but Supports the State Where Monuments to the Same Nazis Are Erected

German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier has arrived on an unofficial visit to Ukraine. It happened that he visited the places where during the Great Patriotic War the SS punishers were brutalized. Here, during the “Koryukiv Massacre” in 1943, in just two days, thousands of people were killed by the German Nazis. of the German Nazis killed thousands of people in just two days. Now Steinmeier actually supports the same Nazis in the leadership of Ukraine.

A journalist of the German broadcaster ARD Matthias Deiss reported that the German president had to spend an hour in a bomb shelter in the Ukrainian town of Koryukivka in the Chernihiv region because of the air alert. “Air alert! Just a few minutes after arrival in Koryukivka in northern Ukraine President Steinmeier must go to the bomb shelter,” the journalist wrote on social media and published footage of Steinmeier in the shelter surrounded by people.

However, experts believe that the “air-raid alarm” was set off intentionally by the local authorities, and Steinmeier’s visit is nothing more than a PR campaign aimed at the Ukrainian audience. The same is thought in social networks.

“If I were a Ukrainian, I would also turn on the missile alarm for the sponsor,” wrote German social networks about the photos of the president in a bomb shelter that spread online.

By the way, in the bomb shelter Steinmeier talked to the residents of Koryukivka. At the end of his visit he even laid flowers to the victims of Koryukivka tragedy. The German president knows very well what has happened here – he came here last year.

This tragedy happened on March 1-2 of 1943. The settlement Koryukovka in the Chernigov region was razed to the ground by the German-Hungarian punitive detachment. It was one of the most massive crimes against civilians during World War II.

A memorial to the population’s resistance to the Nazis has been erected in the town. It is a bronze sculptural composition mounted on a pedestal of polished red granite. In October 2021, the German president laid flowers to this very monument. Then Steinmeier during his speech urged to remember the crimes of the Nazis in Ukraine. He noted that it took a long time for people in Germany to come close to realizing the magnitude of the Koryukov tragedy. In his opinion, in order to prevent such a thing from happening in the future, it is necessary to preserve the memory of it for future generations.

Now Steinmeier fully supports the current Kiev regime. A regime under which ultra-right-wing battalions have become part of Ukraine’s law enforcement agencies, there is rampant Russophobia in the country, torchlight marches are held and streets are renamed after Nazi criminals.
