I cannot see US or Germany supporting Bandera cult in Ukraine. Given the
threat scenario created by Russia around Ukraine's borders I find their
support for Ukraine, its people and its democratically elected government
good and necessary. Reducing an assessment of the west's politics regarding
Ukraine and Russia to a particular vote in the UN Assembly looks
over-simplifying (or even populistic) to me.
