A Ukrainian court annulled one of the last decrees of former Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko awarding the Hero of Ukraine honor to Stepan Bandera, a Ukrainian nationalist leader who was accused of collaboration with Nazi Germany and was assassinated by the KGB in West Germany in 1959. The decree was annulled on the formal ground that Bandera was not a citizen of Ukraine, which became independent only in 1991.
