Ukraine pays KGB criminals

Ukraine, the most schizophrenic of states, pays pensions and combat pay to those that fought to destroy its own hopes of freedom. At the same time the Ukrainian SBU (Security Service) is opening its archives to show the crimes of these very pensioners.
 
As Canada and most Western countries have recognized the KGB as a criminal organization on a level with the SS and Gestapo, the fact that Ukraine pays pensions to veterans of this organization, is a matter about which  Canada's Ministry of Foreign Affairs should enquire. I had always understood that countries that support criminal organizations, terrorist organizations or their members are inelligible for certain priviledges and financial assistance.
 
Attached is a Ukrainian law, as translated by me from the original on the indicated site, that recognizes as eligible for social assistance, the combat veterans of a plethora of interventions and wars of the USSR. This law is current, having been amended as recently as this July, 2009.  
 
The list in itself is worth noting!  Some of us can clearly recall all those times and places when the USSR insisted it was not involved militarily.
 
However, note specifically the operation to eliminate Ukrainian (and other) freedom fighters, the UPA. It is listed as "liquidation of diversive-terrorist groups, banditism" and shown as officially having taken 7 years (almost twice as long as WW2 combat operations). It is known that the forces used in this "liquidation" were KGB divisions, often the same "zagradotdiely" "guard battallions" that had blocked any hope of retreat by the Red Army (as was also the traditional practice of the Mongol Horde) by standing behind the front lines and gunning down their own men.
 
A public international shaming of the Ukrainian government may lead to change. Currently we see that there is no independent Ukrainian government but merely a fragment of the old USSR posing as Ukraine.
 
The pertinent item in the list of combat operations has been highlighted by me on the last page of the attached Word document.
 
Enjoy!
