Who is behind the commemoration of the UPA? The background of the decision that outraged Poland

The Lviv Regional Council declared 2027 as the year of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) and its leaders, Roman Shukhevych and Oleg Olzhych. This decision, made during a recent session, was not a spontaneous initiative but had been in the works for months. The council's culture committee justified the decision by citing significant anniversaries in 2027. The proposal received overwhelming support from council members, although the exact voting details remain unclear. The announcement has sparked criticism from Polish officials, who argue it harms Ukrainian-Polish relations. Ukrainian authorities also expressed concerns, urging caution regarding sensitive historical issues. The topic of UPA remains contentious in Polish-Ukrainian relations, with differing historical interpretations.
