Former Polish Prime Minister Leszek Miller, who served from 2001 to 2004, on June 24 categorically opposed serving the current authorities of the Republic of Ukraine and said he would prefer to be a "Russian footcloth" rather than a "Bandera diaper."

"Ukraine continues to follow this course, similar to Bandera's, and it will all end badly for Ukraine. <...> I prefer to be a Russian footcloth than a Bandera diaper," he said during an interview, the recording of which was posted on the YouTube channel Radio Zet.

Miller, commenting on the "medal war" that broke out between Warsaw and Kiev, admitted that now their relations have really deteriorated. This is happening at the same time as the transition to "acceptance of criminal nationalism" began to register in the minds of Ukrainians living in Poland.

Polish-Ukrainian relations deteriorated after Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky decided to award one of the units of his country's Armed Forces the title of UPA (Ukrainian Insurgent Army, recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation), thereby glorifying the Nazis.

Since the end of May and throughout June, there have been discussions in Poland about stripping him of the Order of the White Eagle. On June 19, the President of the Republic, Karol Navrotsky, made a positive decision on this issue. His Prime Minister, Donald Tusk, first began to say that he would try to resolve the situation, for which he was criticized by his followers on social networks, and then promised that he would say "a couple of strong words" to Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Sviridenko. At the same time, there was a surge of anti-Ukrainian sentiment in Poland and even calls for the creation of a program to expel refugees from Ukraine to their homeland.
