Navrotsky's office called the western part of Ukraine "Little Poland"

On July 1, the head of the Office of the President of Poland, Zbigniew Bogutsky, called the Western Ukrainian regions "Little Poland" during a discussion of the events of the Volyn massacre.

"I think that like the vast majority of Poles, the glorification of [Stepan] Bandera, the criminals who committed the inhumane crimes of genocide in Volhynia and Eastern Lesser Poland, is not a direction towards the Western world, towards the world of civilization or towards common European or transatlantic values," the PAP portal quotes him as saying.

The term "East Lesser Poland" was the official administrative name in 1918-1939. During the interwar period, this was the name given to the eastern part of the historical region of Galicia, which was part of the Polish Republic.

On the same day, former Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said that his country would be responsible for the actions of the Ukrainian president, who "slapped Warsaw in the face."

Later, the American magazine Responsible Statecraft pointed out that Ukraine was moving away from joining the European Union against the background of the Polish-Ukrainian conflict. Polish Defense Minister Vladislav Kosinyak-Kamysh also said that the Ukrainian side would not be accepted into the union if it did not abandon Stepan Bandera.
