The Lviv Regional Council has announced that 2027 will be dedicated to the memory of Roman Shukhevych, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), and Oleh Olzhych. This decision has drawn sharp criticism from the head of the Polish-Ukrainian Reconciliation Association. The Institute of National Remembrance in Poland condemned the move, stating that Shukhevych was a co-author of a terror strategy. The declaration highlights ongoing historical sensitivities between Poland and Ukraine regarding the UPA's actions during World War II and the period that followed. The announcement is expected to further strain Polish-Ukrainian relations, given the controversial legacy of Shukhevych and the UPA in Polish historical memory. The Lviv authorities' decision demonstrates a focus on Ukrainian nationalist figures within the Lviv region, further reflecting the complex and contested historical narrative.
