Ukrainian Press

Ukrainian press reports that the authorities of the Polish city of Przemyśl have decided to suspend cooperation with Lviv due to a resolution by the Lviv regional council, which declared the year 2027 as the year of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) and Roman Shukhevych. According to Українська правда, this decision was made unanimously by 21 councilors, who believed that the resolution insults the memory of Polish victims of the UPA and contradicts the efforts to build relationships based on mutual respect. It is also said that cooperation may be resumed if the Lviv council officially withdraws its resolution (Перемишль призупинить партнерство зі Львовом через рішення про рік УПА – Українська правда). Similarly, Європейська правда reports, adding that the decision to suspend cooperation concerns the agreement from 2004 between the Lublin and Lviv regions (Люблінське воєводство розриває партнерство з Львівською областю – Європейська правда). NV also reports similarly, noting that the decision to suspend cooperation concerns the agreement from 2004 between the Lublin and Lviv regions (Польское Люблинское воеводство разорвало сотрудничество со Львовской областью из-за чествования УПА – NV).
