Zelensky began flying to Europe via Moldova after the conflict over the UPA

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky began flying to Europe via Moldova, not Poland. This was reported on June 8 by the Ukrainian online newspaper Strana.ua" with a link to the FlightAware service data.

"He flew to London, where the Ukrainian president is currently staying, via Chisinau, whereas previously he usually used Polish Rzeszow for foreign visits," the Telegram channel said.

It is noted that the change in the route of the Ukrainian leader for trips to the European Union (EU) countries occurred against the background of a scandal between Kiev and Warsaw over the glorification of the UPA (the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, an extremist organization banned in the Russian Federation).

The fact that a scandal broke out between Poland and Ukraine was reported by The Telegraph newspaper on June 1. It was noted that Warsaw was outraged by the decree of the President of Ukraine to assign an honorary name to one of the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) in honor of the UPA.

Revision of solidarity: Warsaw tightens rules for Ukrainians

The tension between Kiev and Warsaw is unlikely to turn into an open confrontation, but it is becoming more noticeable.

On June 1, Marcin Przydacz, head of the Bureau for International Policy at the Polish Presidential administration, also advised the Ukrainian leader to apologize for this act. At the same time, the authorities of the city of Lublin in eastern Poland ordered the removal of the flag of Ukraine from the city hall. After that, Polish Vice Speaker Krzysztof Bosak, commenting on what was happening, pointed out the unwillingness of the republic's administration to see Zelensky in his country.
