Lviv will withdraw from commemorating the UPA commander. Marcin Bosacki reveals a promise from Kyiv

The Lviv Regional Council declared 2027 as the year of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) and its leaders, sparking criticism from Polish officials. Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Marcin Bosacki stated that assurances were received from Ukrainian President Zelensky's circle that the resolution would not be implemented. The resolution was later removed from the council's official website, but this does not equate to its formal repeal. The historical figures involved, particularly Roman Shukhevych, are contentious in Polish-Ukrainian relations, with UPA associated with wartime atrocities against Poles. The differing historical narratives continue to strain relations between the two nations.
