European Parliament condemns Zelenskyy for naming military unit after UPA heroes

The European Parliament has criticized Ukrainian President Zelenskyy for naming a military unit after heroes of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), describing it as an "unnecessary and unprovoked escalation." This move has reignited tensions between Warsaw and Kyiv, particularly among Polish nationalists who view the UPA as collaborators with Nazi Germany. The condemnation comes amid broader discussions about Ukraine's potential EU accession, highlighting the complex geopolitical dynamics at play. The UPA's controversial legacy underscores the deep-seated historical sensitivities that continue to affect relations in Eastern Europe.
