You are aware that this can and should be solved by diplomacy? The naming is not smart. But it was likely for domestic policy reasons and probably not to antagonize Poland or its people.
Taking back the medal is also mostly domestic policy to curb righ-wing popularity from growing. Yet it is also a public affront to Ukraine.
Therefore both sides should work for a diplomatic solution and not inflate this topic beyond a sensible degree. Ukraine won’t join the EU anytime soon anyway, there’s still plenty of time to change this.
However, this post and the videos give Russian propaganda vibes, it’s likely meant to sow disagreement in the EU
Of course. For me, that’s the only option.
If Ukraine is already choosing nazis as national heroes, and this becomes deeply embedded in public consciousness, the situation will not improve after the war. In Poland, there is a broad consensus across both the right and the left wing that a Ukraine which glorifies Nazis will not be admitted to the EU.
Poland will continue to support Ukraine militarily because Russia is our common enemy, but Ukraine must follow Germany’s way and distance itself from its nazi past. Unfortunately, by doing otherwise, Ukrainians themselves reinforce Russian propaganda claiming that “Ukrainians are neo-Nazis.” :(
