Storm after the decision of the Lviv authorities. They will commemorate the UPA and Szuchewycz
The Lviv Regional Council has declared 2027 as the year of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) and its commander Roman Shukhevych, prompting criticism from the Polish Institute of National Remembrance (IPN). The IPN condemned Shukhevych as responsible for atrocities against various nationalities during WWII, arguing that this decision promotes a cult of radical Ukrainian nationalism. Polish politicians expressed concern over the lack of reciprocity in Polish-Ukrainian relations, emphasizing the need for diplomatic responses to such decisions. The controversy highlights ongoing tensions regarding historical narratives and reconciliation efforts between Poland and Ukraine.
