The applicant for establishing 2027 as the year of the UPA and Szuchewycz as an undesirable person in Poland. Sikorski's decision is made.
Poland's Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski has signed a request to declare Lviv councilor Swiatosław Szeremeta an undesirable person due to his proposal to commemorate 2027 as the year of Roman Shukhevych, a controversial figure associated with the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA). The Lviv Regional Council recently announced 2027 as the year of UPA and its leaders, aiming to honor their historical significance. This decision has sparked tensions, as Poland views the actions of UPA during WWII as genocide against Poles, while Ukraine often frames these figures as national heroes in their struggle for independence. The differing historical narratives continue to affect Polish-Ukrainian relations.
