Lviv Plans to Honor UPA Commander Shukhevych, Poland Ties Under Strain

The Lviv Regional Council announced plans to declare 2027 the Year of Roman Shukhevych, supreme commander of the UPA, and OUN activist Oleh Olzhych in the Lviv region. The move risks further straining already tense Polish-Ukrainian relations. Shukhevych is regarded in Poland as responsible for crimes against the Polish population during World War II.
