POLAND VS ZEL: ‘Moscow Benefits from Disputes,’ Ukraine Responds as Poland Erupts Over UPA
May 30, 2026
Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry has responded to criticism from Poland after President Volodymyr Zelensky approved naming an elite Special Operations Forces unit after the WWII-era Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA). Kyiv expressed regret over the political backlash, stressing that the decision is linked to historical resistance against Moscow rather than hostility toward Poland. Spokesperson Heorhii Tykhyi said both countries have made progress in addressing painful historical issues through dialogue, including exhumations of Volyn tragedy victims and renewed cooperation between historians. He added that disputes over the past should not undermine current unity, warning that “only Moscow benefits” from divisions between Ukraine and Poland as both countries face ongoing Russian aggression. #ukraine #poland #zelensky #upa #ukrainianinsurgentarmy #kyiv #warsaw #geopolitics #europe #russiaukrainewar #diplomacy #nato #easterneurope #historicaldispute #worldwariilegacy In this Times Now World News report, we break down the this topic: Stay connected with Times Now World for real-time global news and analysis: Read full coverage: https://www.timesnownews.com/world Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/timesnow.world Follow us on X: https://x.com/TimesNow_World #timesnowworld #worldnews #breakingnews
