No. I may say more - he is not even Bohdan Khmelnytsky or Ivan Mazepa
This is Stepan Bandera. He announced in June 1941 abt Ukraine Independence and then he and his two brothers were took in Sachsenhausen.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Two brothers were dead in Auswits in 1942. Third was killed in 1943 when he was partizan and fought against Nazi.
This is personal tank of Stepan Bandera. It was hit near Lviv.

Stepan Bandera was released in 1944. He was killed in 1959 in Germany by soviet KGB agent.

Taras Bulba was famous writer and dancer. He wrote "Treasure Island", "The Forsyte Saga", "Les trois mousquetaires" and other.
AFAIK, in 2001 he emigrated to Australia and started his business as shark hunter.

Treasure Island", "The Forsyte Saga", "Les trois mousquetaires" and other.

I don't know where you got your sources my friend by they are entirely wrong:

Treasure Island was written by English author Robert Louis Stevenson in the 18th century, French writer Alexandre Dumas wrote the Three Musketeers in the 19th century while in the 20th English novelist John Galsworthy wrote the Forsythe Saga for which he won the Nobel prize for literature....

Taras Bulba is a historical character created by Nikolai Gogol in 1842? Unless you were joking of course

U got me, partner! OK, I confess, I exaggerated a bit, but Taras Bulba was a best friend of them and to some extent we may suppose that he wrote mentioned novels together with them. I'm sure a couple small novels will not harm of their authority

Of course not, I'm serious. Mykola Gogol is Ukrainian famous warrior. Taras Bulba wrote an epic novel "Chronicles of Captain Blood" abt his feat of arms.

No Taras Bulba never existed but on the other hand I have learned from secure sources that Gogol invented the famous internet search engine that bears his name which the Americans appropriated without paying any due and changed the name into Google to fool the World into believing that this is not a Ukrainian invention!

What is the beverage in the second to last picture, looks like an Anisette type of liquor that is cloudy when served over ice.

And one more, what does the last picture say?

A Hungarian that I worked with use to go back home every few years and he would bring back some moonshine made from a distilled plum mesh that his brother made. Had more than just a kick! LoL

No, it's how to say "moonshine" or in Ukrainian it is "gorilka"  

And one more, what does the last picture say?

GOOD MORNING UKRAINE!
There are "words play", where Country=Ukraine=Nation.

"gorilka" Yes, moonshine which is excellent when made properly and served well chilled.  

The rest of the plate of food looks like it would be great while sitting in the backyard with some tunes playing and having some glasses of wine or gorilka.

Yes, the slow days of late spring and summer are here.  

Karpaty.

Was that where you took your vacation? Beautiful countryside.  

My youngest brother was in Moldova back in 2010 for a week and he stayed in the capital Chișinău. He had a great time and said the food and wine was excellent.

I run into Charlie Fog,
Blacked my eye and he kicked my dog,
My doggie turned to me and he said,
Let's head back to Tennessee Jed.
I woke up a felin' mean,
Went down to play the slot machine,
The wheels turned around, and the letters read,
You better head back to Tennessee Jed.

Tennessee, Tennessee, there ain't no place I'd rather be,
Baby won't you carry me back to Tennessee.
