Budanov: Konovalets to be temporarily reburied at National Military Memorial Cemetery, then Ukrainian Pantheon
First head of the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) Yevhen Konovalets will be temporarily reburied on the territory of the National Military Memorial Cemetery, and later – in the Ukrainian national pantheon, reported Head of the President’s Office Kyrylo Budanov.
Former OUN leader Yevhen Konovalets will temporarily be reburied at the National Military Memorial Cemetery before being laid to rest in the Ukrainian Pantheon, according to President's Office head Kyrylo Budanov. The 88-year-old colonel is returning to his homeland after decades of efforts to erase his name. Konovalets and his generation took on the responsibility of achieving an independent Ukraine over a century ago, and the struggle to protect freedom and sovereignty continues today.
Budanov highlighted that the current generation of Ukrainian defenders is fighting against the same enemy, and the best tribute to Konovalets' memory would be a strong, sovereign Ukraine.
