Andrey Sadovy, the Mayor of the Ukrainian city of Lvov, found himself in conflict with Ivan Smaga, head of the Lvov branch of the Right Sector, a banned Nazi organization in Russia. The dispute arose after Sadovy suggested in an interview that Ukrainian nationalist movements might be funded by Russia. On October 31, Smaga threatened Sadovy during a Right Sector rally, warning that another such statement from the mayor would be his last words. The tension highlights ongoing internal issues in Ukraine
