The decision to equate Ukrainian symbols to Nazi and communist is politicized.

This will require response from the Ukrainian side. According to a UNIAN correspondent, a diplomatic source reported to reporters.
The knowledgeable interlocutor responded to the initiative of the Polish President to ban the symbolism of the OUN-UPA in Poland.
“At the same time, any politicized decisions on the alleged equation of Ukrainian symbols to Nazi and communist can provoke an increase in negative sentiment in Ukrainian society and will demand the response of the Ukrainian side,” the source said.
Also in Ukraine they study the situation for assisting Ukrainians in Poland.
“We analyze the legal dimension of the decisions made and their possible impact on the situation of Ukrainian citizens in Poland,” the source noted.
According to him, in Ukraine we are grateful to the official Warsaw for all previous decisions in favor of our fellow citizens. The source noted:
“We believe that their rights will be ensured no worse than in other EU countries.”
Legislative initiatives of NavrotskyAccording to UNIAN, President of Poland Karol Navrotsky has previously called on the Seimas to ban the use of OUN-UPA symbolism in Poland.
Today, on August 25, Navrotsky announced the ban on the “Bandera symbol” at the legislative level. Navrotsky’s legislative initiative is intended to equate the “Bandera symbol” to the Nazi and Communist Symbols in the Criminal Code of Poland. According to him, it will help to build Polish-Ukrainian relations at true partnership and mutual respect.
Separately, Navrotsky decided to veto a law on assistance to Ukrainian citizens. He proposed his bill on this issue, and called on the government and all parties in parliament for two weeks to work hard over the form of this project. According to him, Poland should achieve social justice in this matter, because the Poles in their country should be equal with Ukrainians.
