This Kyiv Post article suggests that the perception in Italy that its Ukrainian community is dominated by radical rightists is just "anti-Ukraine propaganda." So let us take a look at the Italian Ukrainian leader of the #FreeMarkiv campaign, Oles Horodetskyy... 
For starters, Horodetskyy met another hero of his in 2014, Right Sector founder Dmytro Yarosh. Seems to credit Mykhailo Ratushny for arranging the meeting--someone who is very well connected to both the Ukrainian diaspora and the far-right in Ukraine: facebook.com/photo?fbid=153…
Horodetskyy is president of the Christian Society of Ukrainians in Italy (CSUI) & coordinated "Euromaidan Rome." CSUI is apparently a member org of @ICSUkraine, the int'l coordinating body of OUN-B affiliated organizations. Horodetskyy & ICSU at Bandera's grave with OUN-B leader:
1/ President Zelenskyy follows joint press appearance with President Trump by addressing Ukrainian media directly
2/ Zelenskyy explained to Trump that #CrimeaIsUkraine, that no matter what language the inhabitants of Crimea speak, it is Ukrainian land that needs to be returned
3/ President Trump never discussed released the July call summary with President Zelenskyy, the only discussions they had this week prior to today involved Trump quickly praising Zelenskyy's election victory at a UN reception
