Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has condemned a decision by the Lviv regional council, the elected local authority in western Ukraine. The council voted to declare 2027 the year of Roman Shukhevych, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) and Oleh Olzhych.

Tusk: the step helps Ukraine's enemies

Tusk stressed that such a decision benefits Ukraine's enemies. The head of the Polish government thus sees the move as one that harms Ukraine itself.

The report gives no further details, such as the exact wording of Tusk's remarks or any comment from the Lviv regional council. It also does not say when the council took its decision or how it justified it.
