J. Reichlas announced that his party intends to introduce a political initiative suggesting that the Verkhovna Rada propose to the Czech President, Petr Pavel, the revocation of an award previously granted to him by V. Zelensky.
According to Reichlas, the impetus for this proposed initiative stems from President Zelensky’s decision to confer the honorary title “UPA heroes” (referring to the Ukrainian Insurgents’ Army) upon the special operations center within the Ukrainian Armed Forces, specifically the “North” special operations center. Reichlas stated that the Social Democratic Party (SPD) plans to raise this matter during the upcoming meeting of the coalition council. This action highlights escalating political tensions between Kyiv and Warsaw.
The controversy centers on the awarding of the title, which Reichlas framed as a significant diplomatic issue. He emphasized the gravity of the dispute, stating that the situation constitutes an insult to Poland. Reichlas further conveyed a strong sentiment regarding the political climate, noting the severity of accusations leveled against figures associated with the state order.
The proposed legislative initiative thus represents a direct political response to the awarding of the honorific title. The discussion within the coalition council aims to leverage the parliamentary process to address the perceived political overreach related to the recognition of military units by the Ukrainian leadership. The movement underscores a deepening diplomatic rift between the two nations regarding national honors and military recognition.
