Zbigniew Bogucki, Head of the Polish President’s Chancellery, stated that diplomatic channels between Poland and Ukraine remain open despite a deteriorated relationship. He attributed the strained ties not to actions by the current or former Polish presidents, but to Ukraine’s perceived disrespect towards the victims of past conflicts and agreements reached with Warsaw. Specifically, Bogucki cited the naming of a Ukrainian military unit after “heroes of the UPA,” the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, as unacceptable from a Polish perspective. He emphasized this act as a disregard for historical sensitivities and Polish political considerations. Bogucki indicated prior attempts were made to engage with Ukrainian leadership. The situation highlights a significant point of contention impacting bilateral relations between the two countries. The naming decision is seen as a major obstacle to improving ties.
