The resolution regarding the UPA caused an uproar. Kyiv surprised, the government was not supposed to know about the idea.

The Lviv Regional Council declared 2027 as the year of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) and its leaders, causing tensions with Poland. Polish officials are working to block the decision, which has not yet taken effect. The Polish Foreign Ministry received assurances from Ukrainian officials that the resolution would not be implemented. In response, Poland has banned Lviv council member Sviatoslav Sheremeta from entering Schengen countries until 2031 due to his role in promoting the UPA. The UPA's legacy remains contentious in Polish-Ukrainian relations, with differing historical interpretations regarding wartime atrocities.
