Polish President Karol Nawrocki has submitted to parliament a bill that criminalizes the dissemination of the ideology of Ukrainian nationalist Stepan Bandera. The draft equates the symbols of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) to banned Nazi and Communist symbols. If passed, spreading these ideas could result in up to three years in prison. Zelenskiy’s decision is condemned as a dangerous provocation. The Russian authorities called Zelenskiy’s proposal a dangerous provocation. Earlier, Nawrocki signed a law extending assistance to Ukrainian refugees.
