"One of the first decisions". Gibała's decisive step regarding Lviv

Łukasz Gibała, the new mayor of Krakow, proposed suspending the partnership with Lviv following the Lviv Regional Council's decision to declare 2027 as the year of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA). Gibała expressed his disapproval of glorifying figures associated with historical atrocities against Poles. He emphasized the need for historical reconciliation based on truth while supporting Ukraine against Russian aggression. The decision has drawn criticism from Polish officials, including Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who labeled it a 'self-destructive tactic.' Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Marcin Bosacki mentioned assurances from Ukrainian officials that the Lviv council's resolution would not be implemented, highlighting ongoing diplomatic tensions.
