The Ambassador of Poland was invited to the Foreign Ministry of Ukraine because of his statements about Bandera

This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.

“During the conversation and in the context of the discussion of the fact of the joint statement of the ambassadors of the Republic of Poland and the State of Israel of January 2, the attention of the Polish ambassador was drawn to the counterproductiveness of the public discussion on internal issues of Ukrainian politics,” the statement said.

Earlier, the ambassadors of Poland and Israel, Bartosz Zihotsky and Yoel Lyon, expressed concern about the situation in Ukraine related to the celebration of Stepan Bandera and other Nazi collaborators.

In response to this, the press secretary of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, Yekaterina Zelenko, stated that "every nation and every state independently determines and honors its heroes."

Later, the Polish Embassy in Ukraine commented on this statement by Zelenko, noting that it was “hard to believe that such words could be spoken by the Ukrainian diplomat.”
