It says “Heil Hitler! Slava NazisHitler, Slava Ukraine!”
During the “strategic alliance”, they also used Slava Ukraini and Slava Heroiam as the call/response to their Nazi allies’ Heil Hitler.
Like if a Banderite and a Nazi met, it would either go “Heil Hitler” “Slava Heroiam” or “Slava Ukraini” “Sieg Heil”.
I believe you, but do you have a source for that?
