"The worst possible moment." Ukrainian diplomats on the decision regarding the year of the UPA and Shukhevych

Ukrainian officials are blaming Lviv deputies for provoking a scandal with Poland over the declaration of 2027 as the year of UPA and its leaders. President Zelensky expressed anger over the decision, which was deemed harmful to Polish-Ukrainian relations. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry criticized the Lviv authorities, emphasizing the need to annul the resolutions to avoid legal repercussions. The controversy has reignited historical tensions, particularly regarding the Ukrainian Insurgent Army's actions during WWII. Despite recent improvements in relations, the situation has escalated tensions between Kyiv and Warsaw.
