By the decision of the authorities of Lviv, 2027 will be the year of the UPA

The Lviv Regional Council decided to commemorate figures like Roman Shukhevych and Olzhych, marking significant anniversaries in 2027. This decision reflects a commitment to honor Ukrainian independence fighters despite external pressures. The activities of the UPA and OUN remain contentious, particularly in Polish-Ukrainian relations due to historical events during World War II, where actions against Polish civilians are viewed as genocide.
