The integrated Ukrainian media "RBC-Ukraine" and "Ukrainian Truth" on the 25th that the Polish President Karol Navrotsky proposed a legislative initiative to ban the display of "Bandera symbols" such as red and black flags in Poland.
In January 2015, Ukrainian nationalists marched in Kiev carrying red and black flags, according to foreign media
On August 25 local time, Navrodsky announced a legislative initiative to include the "Bandra symbol" in the category of banned political symbols. He stressed that this move is not inconsistent with the good relations between Poland and Ukraine. The report said that it was not clear what the specific scope of the "Bandra symbol" the Polish president called.
During World War II, the red-black flag was used by the Ukrainian Resistance Army (UPA) led by Sjepan Bandera and has since been linked to Ukrainian nationalism. Polish historians estimate that between 100,000 and 130,000 Poles were slaughtered by the “Ukrainian Resistance Army”, which is therefore controversial in Poland.
A Ukrainian diplomat asking for anonymity said the Ukrainian side was analyzing the legislation at the legal level and the potential impact on Ukrainian citizens in Poland.The Ukrainian source stressed that any politization involving the symbols of Ukraine could exacerbate negative emotions in Ukrainian society, and the Ukrainian side may need to respond.
This issue has once again become a sensitive focus in the relations between the Republic of Poland and the Republic of Poland, where Novotsky vetoed a bill on the assistance of Ukrainian unemployed refugees in Poland on 25 November, which includes multiple grants, residence permits, and specific occupations that Ukrainians can do in Poland, Polish Deputy Prime Minister Kavkovsky said later that the veto could affect Ukraine’s “star chain” internet services.
