I know. I doubt he could fully control what his followers did while sitting in prison. I saw Polish film Volyn as well.
However, Ukrainian hatred against Poles did not come for no reason.
Poland was rulling east Slavics land in a colonial manner. And it invaded parts of USSR in early 20th century, imposing their rule in regions where Ukrainians were majority.
There's no justification of massacre. But Poles did a lot of wrong towards Ukrainians in history. That's how first Cossacks appeared as well.

Ironically because of Polish and Austrian opression many Galicians were very pro-Russian in the begging of the 20th century (Rusyns are still quite pro- Russian sometimes) but later many of these Pro-Russian got massacred and escaped to the Soviet Union were they were settled in the Donbass and South Russia. So i think lot of the descendants of these Galicians are now fighting for DNR and LNR.

Obviously, since they are UA ultranationalists, those that don't feel brotherly towards Russians. Russians and Poles are rivals.
I assume most of them are from western Ukraine tho.
My comment was just against demonization of Bandera, from UA nationalist point of view. He collaborated with Germans because they offered him something, but he was obviously not their lapdog when their interests did not align.

Nobody is trying to rehabilitate ww2 Ukrainian collaborators. Poland and Russia issue the same statements about them.
Poles want to direct this flock of sheep against us, but every time there is a march of Banderites in Ukraine, you hear Polish politicians condemning it.
EU position in line with Poland.
You are actually opening a third front here, trying to rehabilitate Ukrainian war criminals which nobody else does.

Probably because Croats just like Ukrainians collaborated with Germans simply because only German nazis offered us own state while all other great powers were completely against it.
Similar case with Slovaks.
I don't see anything shameful with a nation collaborating with one big power if that big powers offers them something very valuable.

The original Bandera followers who fought for independent Ukraine died 80 years ago.
Modern followers of Bandera flipped Poles for Russians, live in independent Ukraine and fight for pretty much the opposite goal - fighting for lands that have nothing to do with Ukraine.
They fight AGAINST the freedom of people who want to live in Russia.
