"On the birthday of Stepan Bandera, Muscovites completely destroyed the museum of UPA Colonel-General Roman Shukhevych in Bilohorshcha," Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovyi reported.
The Shukhevych Museum was located in the house where the leader was killed in 1950 by Soviet special agents from the Ministry of State Security of the USSR.
