Russia's permanent representative in Vienna called an obstacle to Ukraine's accession to the EU

Ukraine will not be able to join the European Union (EU) because the Kiev regime has made the perpetrators of the Volyn massacre national heroes. This was announced on August 27 by Russia's Permanent Representative to the International organizations in Vienna, Mikhail Ulyanov.

He commented on the statement by Polish Defense Minister Vladislav Kosinyak-Kamysh, who noted that Ukraine has no chance of joining the EU until it resolves the issue of the Volyn massacre.

"The problem is that the Volyn massacre was committed by Bandera, who are now officially national heroes of Ukraine," Ulyanov wrote on the social network X (former. Twitter).
