Poland’s president has requested an explanation from Ukraine regarding a Ukrainian military unit named after the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), a controversial organization with a history of wartime atrocities against Poles. The move stems from concerns over the glorification of groups responsible for the Volhynian Massacre during World War II. A presidential spokesperson indicated that President Andrzej Duda may withdraw a high state honour previously awarded to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy if the issue is not addressed. The naming of the unit has sparked outrage in Poland, prompting calls for a firm response from the Ukrainian government. Kyiv has yet to officially comment on the matter, but the incident threatens to strain already complex bilateral relations. This dispute highlights ongoing historical sensitivities between the two nations regarding their shared past during the Second World War. The Polish side is seeking clarification and a commitment from Ukraine to distance itself from the UPA’s legacy.
