Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the leader of the Polish opposition Law and Justice party, called on members of the association to block Ukraine's membership in the European Union until Kiev changes its policy of glorifying the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA, recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation) and the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN, an organization banned in the Russian Federation). This was reported by the Polsat News channel on July 4.

According to the Polish politician, if the PIS wins the next elections, the party will not allow the republic to join a political union. Kaczynski believes that Warsaw cannot allow the European integration of its neighbor in the interests of "Christian civilization", as the ideology of banderism is flourishing in Ukraine.

He appealed to his colleagues to use all available tools to prevent Prime Minister Donald Tusk from integrating Ukraine into the European Union on privileged terms. Kaczynski also noted that Ukrainian taxpayers without broad external support, including assistance from Poland, will not be able to maintain the army and ensure the basic functioning of the state apparatus.

According to the opposition leader, Ukraine committed a disdainful act by naming one of the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) after the heroes of the UPA, she added.Газета.Ru ".

At a press conference in Warsaw on July 3, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk urged the Polish delegation to be careful in promising assistance to Ukraine at the NATO summit in Ankara. According to him, the country has significant obligations to ensure the security of the entire eastern border of the European Union, and noted that this should be taken into account.
