Lviv Plans to Honour UPA Commander Shukhevych — Poland Objects

The Lviv Regional Council wants to declare 2027 the year of Roman Shukhevych, commander of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), and OUN activist Oleh Olzhych. The move is provoking outrage in Poland, where the UPA is associated with the massacre of tens of thousands of Poles in Volhynia. The initiative risks serious damage to Polish-Ukrainian relations at a critical time for both nations.
