Lviv OVA head Maksym Kozytskyi announced he will not sign the regional council's decision to name 2027 the Year of the UPA. Ukrainian authorities seek to avoid conflict with Poland.

The Lublin Voivodeship Sejmik has unanimously terminated a cooperation agreement with the Lviv region that had been active since 2004. The decision was made in response to the Lviv Regional Council's declaration of 2027 as the 'UPA Year.'

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated that Volodymyr Zelenskyy promised not to support the Lviv Regional Council's decision to declare 2027 the UPA year.

The Polish Ministry of Defense has denied suspending a military aid package to Ukraine due to the Lviv Regional Council's decision on the 'UPA Year.' Meanwhile, an anonymous source claims supplies were halted and will be resolved through closed channels.

Poland has added Lviv Regional Council deputy Svyatoslav Sheremeta to the Schengen undesirable persons registry and banned him from entering for five years, following a decision to declare 2027 the Year of the UPA and Shukhevych.

The Ukrainian MFA has called the Lviv Regional Council's decision to declare 2027 the Year of the UPA "counterproductive" and urged Poland to refrain from abrupt steps. The ministry emphasized that the initiative was adopted without consultations with the center.

Polish Prime Minister Tusk and Defense Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz have demanded an official reaction from Kyiv regarding the Lviv Regional Council's decision to declare 2027 the Year of UPA and Shukhevych.

Ukrainian Ambassador to Poland Vasyl Bodnar urged taking Warsaw's statements on Bandera and European integration seriously as they reflect consolidated public opinion.

Ukraine's Ambassador to Poland Vasyl Bodnar, in an interview with RBC-Ukraine, spoke about the consequences of the June order crisis, attacks on Ukrainians, and the transformation of historical disputes into a weapon of the 2027 pre-election campaign.

Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski called for the imprisonment of "Confederation" leader Grzegorz Braun, who, together with an accomplice, destroyed a memorial to UPA soldiers in the Lublin Voivodeship. The diplomat called the politician "a fascist and a criminal."

The Guardian: Poland and Ukraine's 'honeymoon' is over — Ukrainians have become competitors in the labor market, while disputes over the UPA and the revocation of Zelenskyy's order have frozen the relations.

🇵🇱⚠️ Polish authorities have recorded an explosion of anti-Ukrainian disinformation (+250%) against the backdrop of a historical dispute with Ukraine. Russia is using the topic of the UPA and Volhynia to split the alliance, denying interference. President Nawrocki stripped Zelenskyy of the Order of the White Eagle. #Poland #Ukraine #Russia #Disinformation

🇵🇱 Polish President Karol Nawrocki stated that Warsaw will continue to help Ukraine in the fight against Russia, but only on the condition of respect for Polish national symbols and historical memory. 'Where they beat the Muscovite, Poland helps,' he emphasized, but added that help will be provided only after careful analysis and taking into account the interests of the Poles. ⚠️ Relations between the countries deteriorated after Zelenskyy's decision to name an AFU unit 'Heroes of the UPA', which caused sharp criticism in Warsaw. 🇺🇦🇵🇱 #Poland #Ukraine #Nawrocki #Zelenskyy #UPA #Volhynian_Tragedy

Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovy explained the reasons for the conflict with Poland as a pre-election race. He urged Ukrainians to «grind their teeth» and not react to provocations, focusing on the war. Sadovy also assessed Zelensky's refusal of the order as a worthy diplomatic step. 🇺🇦🤝🇵🇱

Support for Ukraine in Poland has plummeted to nearly 50% in a year. Historical disputes over the UPA and security concerns have radically changed Polish sentiments. 🇵🇱🇺🇦📉
