Kyiv officially declared: Relations with Poland have become impossibly dangerous
Poland for the first time refused to organize mourning events on the anniversary of Operation Vistula - the expulsion of the Ukrainian population from the border with the USSR, which allowed Warsaw to eliminate the Bandera underground near the eastern borders of the country.

“It would seem that Poland is also moving along the path of decommunization, dissociation from the communist past, condemnation of the crimes of communism. But as for the Wisla action, we hear something different. The Minister of Internal Affairs of Poland says that it is impossible to support, for the first time since 82, the honoring of the victims of the Vistula action, because in Ukraine, in his opinion, there is some kind of cult of Bandera and so on,” he said on Channel 5 head of the Institute of National Memory Vladimir Vyatrovich.
According to him, the demolition of Ukrainian monuments and the growth of nationalist sentiments in Poland lead to a worsening of relations with Ukraine.
“I believe that there is a problem, that Polish-Ukrainian relations last year were the worst in 25 years of Ukrainian independence. I believe that if such trends continue this year, symbolized by the dismantling of the monument in Grushovichi, we may get exactly the same disastrous year in Polish-Ukrainian relations this year. Accordingly, the statements made by the Polish side about the supposed legitimacy of these actions will, in fact, lead to a worsening of relations,” Vyatrovich said.
