Ukrainian media is criticizing Poland’s reaction to President Zelenskyy’s commemoration of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA). The Ukrainian news portal TSN alleges Poland is deliberately stoking anti-Ukrainian sentiment with its response. The controversy centers on the historical interpretation of the UPA, a Ukrainian nationalist group that fought both Nazi Germany and Polish forces during World War II. Ukrainian journalists argue the dispute is not isolated, but part of a broader trend of increasing anti-Ukrainian feeling within Poland. They suggest Poland’s actions are self-defeating, damaging bilateral relations. The commemoration has ignited a political debate, with Polish officials expressing strong disapproval of honoring the UPA due to its role in wartime atrocities against Poles. This latest incident threatens to further strain already complex historical and political ties between the two nations.
