Realizing the sensitivity of the problems of historical memory in the life of the Ukrainian and Polish peoples, we urge the Polish side to be open and constructive in the further development of the Ukrainian-Polish relations. This is stated in the commentary of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, published on Friday evening, January 26.

They also expressed regret that the Ukrainian theme is once again used in domestic politics in Poland, and the tragic pages of the joint historical past continue to be politicized.

Strongly we do not perceive another attempt to impose a one-sided interpretation of historical events, including the incorrect use of the name of a part of the territory of modern Ukraine in the official document of the Republic of Poland,.

The ministry also reminded the authors of the draft document that Ukrainians, like the Poles, suffered extremely great suffering from totalitarian regimes during the Second World War, and also selflessly fought for the freedom of their Motherland.

Recall, as reported URA-Inform, today in the Seim of Poland passed the third reading of the package of bills that provide for changes to the law on the Institute of National Memory. Among them was a bill banning "Bandera ideology" in Poland. "For" the majority of deputies voted - 279 out of 414.
