On October 18, at a regular session, deputies of the Volyn Regional Council, by a majority of votes, rejected the protest of the Prosecutor of the Volyn Region Mykola Frantovsky regarding their decision of August 12 this year to recognize the Ukrainian Insurgent Army as a belligerent party and its soldiers as veterans of the Second World War. This was reported by the press secretary of the regional council chairman, Kostiantyn Lotsman. 46 elected officials out of 67 present in the hall voted for rejecting the prosecutor's protest. Now, according to Mr. Lotsman, the prosecutor, within 15 days, may apply to court to have the session's decision declared unlawful. In such a case, everything will depend on the judges. Incidentally, currently 500 UPA veterans live in Volyn. And a few years ago, when they undertook to determine the status of the soldiers, there were 1,200 of them. \n
