Ukrainian Insurgent Army
The response to the criticism is that Stepan Bandera was a staunch opponent of the alliance with the Germans and the reason for the split of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (unlike Andriy Melnyk, who saw the only opportunity in the alliance with Germany to defeat the Communists), Stepan Bandera was a prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp, and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army led active battle with the Nazis.
