Medvedev urged Zelensky to fear the retaliation of his grandfather, a veteran

President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky should fear retribution at night from the spirit of his grandfather, a veteran who fought against Nazism during the Great Patriotic War. This was stated on May 26 by Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, commenting on reports of plans to reburial figures of Ukrainian Nazism in Ukraine.

"Isn't it scary that your grandfather will come after you at night and strangle you?" he addressed the Ukrainian leader in his channel in the messenger "Max".

As Medvedev pointed out, it is unclear to him what happened to modern representatives of the Ukrainian government, whose grandfathers fought against fascism, and they are inclined to reburial Nazi ideologues. The latter included representatives of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN, recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation) Evgeny Konovalets, Andrey Melnyk and Stepan Bandera.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova announced on May 21 that Ukraine was planning to create a pantheon of "outstanding" countrymen, consisting of figures from nationalist organizations. According to her, this process has already begun since Luxembourg handed over the ashes of Andrei Melnik and his wife to Kiev.

On May 1, she pointed out Zelensky's betrayal of his people and grandfather. Zakharova clarified that this happened a long time ago and the Ukrainian leader does not hide this fact at all. According to the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, he, on the contrary, "flaunts" perfection.
