Trizub or red star: what the monument to Ukrainians will look like in Berlin

In Ukraine experts today, on May 5, discuss the proposal of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the country Dmitry Kuleba to build in Berlin a separate monument to Ukrainians who died in the Second World War, the correspondent news agency reports. We remind that earlier Kuleba discussed this initiative in a telephone conversation with his German colleague Haiko Maas. According to him, such a monument would be a worthy celebration of memory. Ukrainian political scientist Vladimir Volya notes that even assuming that the authorities of Germany and Berlin agree with this proposal of Kiev on the merits, the question arises of who to honor, who will be depicted on the monument, taking into account the fact that the vast majority of Ukrainians fought as part of the Red Army, and the greatest losses were suffered by Ukrainians who lived in the USSR. The problem is what images to record that it is about the memory of Ukrainians. What will be depicted on the monument: a trident who used OUN-UPA (an organization whose activities are prohibited in the Russian Federation) or a star under which the vast majority of Ukrainians fought, said Volya. The political scientist suggests that the memorial may be faceless, simply with crosses, and asks where Ukraine is then?. Finally, Volya notes that Kiev should agree on its version of such a monument with the German authorities.
