German Foreign Ministry spokesman Christopher Burger said at a briefing in Berlin that the German Cabinet is against the glorification of Nazi crimes in any form, reports tass.ru.
He made the statement in response to a question about a march to celebrate Stepan Bandera's birthday in Kyiv on January 1.
"The federal government condemns any form of anti-Semitism, any glorification of Nazi crimes," Burger said.
In this context, he added, Berlin also condemns crimes committed "including those under Bandera's leadership".
"It must be remembered that a large part of these crimes was committed in collaboration with the German occupation forces," the spokesman said.
As reported, the Israeli Embassy condemned anti-Semitic slogans at a march in honour of Bandera.
