Lublin Voivodeship Ends Cooperation with Lviv Oblast After Controversial Resolution
Published
The Lublin Voivodeship self-government has ended its partnership cooperation with Lviv Oblast in Ukraine. The decision was made after the authorities of Lviv Oblast voted for a resolution honouring a organisation from the Second World War, which has generated considerable controversy.
According to media reports, the resolution caused outrage in Poland. Many politicians and residents believe that commemorating this organisation is inappropriate, as its actions during the war are the subject of serious historical accusations. For many Poles, the history of Polish-Ukrainian relations is very important and sensitive.
Cooperation between the Lublin region and Lviv Oblast had continued for many years. It included the exchange of experience in areas such as economy, culture and education. The termination of this cooperation means that joint projects will be suspended.
The case shows how the history of the Second World War continues to affect relations between Poland and Ukraine. Experts stress that dialogue between the two sides is important, especially on questions of historical memory. For now, it is unclear whether the authorities of Lviv Oblast will change their position.
