Ukrainians and Poles cannot "not be partners or not be friends, because we are neighbors." President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said this in an interview with the media, reports UNN.

According to him, hatred in society "will only lead to certain ratings."
This is a political struggle that could end in a very bad escalation. You cannot earn political dividends from hatred. We are protecting Poland and Europe right now. Our warriors are dying. Our military personnel themselves choose a heroic name for their unit, and as President and Supreme Commander-in-Chief, I must support them
He emphasized that besides historical issues, "there is also respect for today, for our army, and for the future."
"Without Ukraine, no one can protect Poland. It's simply impossible. If Ukraine is no more, a protected Poland will also cease to exist," Zelenskyy summarized.
Reminder
President Zelenskyy stated that he will not cancel the honorary name "Heroes of the UPA" for the Armed Forces of Ukraine unit, despite the decision of Polish President Nawrocki to strip it of the Order of the White Eagle.
