The Gateway Pundit has reported on the increased tensions in the bilateral relations between Ukraine and its neighbor and top backer, Poland – disagreements fueled by a historical wound of the WW2 Volyn massacre.
As you can read in ‘During WW2, Ukrainian Nazis Committed Genocide Against 100K Poles, But Zelensky Refuses To Address the Issue – so Now Poland Plans to Block Their Entry in the EU Until He Does’.
The Volyn massacre was a series of war crimes perpetrated by Ukrainian Nazis, under national hero Stepan Bandera, that led to the ethnic cleansing of the Polish population. To this day, Warsaw considers the Volyn tragedy to be genocide of Poles.
Back in September 2024, when Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky aggressively refused to discuss the issue, Poland started pressuring Ukraine to exhume victims of the massacre, giving them proper burials.
Euro Integration reported:
“A source familiar with the talks said that ‘Ukraine has taken a demanding position’: ‘We know that Zelenskyy is under enormous pressure, but it cannot be that concessions go only one way. Meanwhile, Ukraine has taken a demanding stance. In the defense sector, we can understand this. But in other areas, it has to change’.
A Polish foreign ministry official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that the Volyn issue is currently Poland’s ‘main and basically only demand’.”
Poland vowed to block Ukraine’s ascension to the EU until the two countries ‘resolve’ the controversial issue of the Volyn massacres, in which Ukrainian nationalists killed around 100,000 ethnic Poles during World War Two.
Fast forward to August 2025, at a concert of Belarusian rapper Max Korzh at Warsaw’s National Stadium.
A group of Ukrainian ‘refugees’ start a riot, and proudly display a banner for the Nazi-allied group (a symbol banned in Poland) that killed 100 thousand Poles – igniting a wave of indignation that led to action.

Yesterday (12), Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that Poland will expel 63 Ukrainians and Belarusians for the riot at the concert.
Tusk said that the individuals were behind disturbances, aggressive behavior, and ‘certain provocations’.
Euractiv reported:
“The 57 Ukrainians and six Belarusians “will have to leave the country voluntarily or by force”, Tusk said, adding that everyone must respect the law no matter their nationality.
Police detained over 100 people for ‘drug possession, assaulting security personnel, possession and carrying of pyrotechnic devices, and trespassing on the grounds of a mass event’.
“Social media images appeared to show a concert-goer waving the flag of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), a guerilla group that aligned itself with Nazi Germany. The symbol is banned under Polish law.”
[…] ‘We saw that various flags and symbols were displayed there’, police spokesman Robert Szumiata told independent news channel TVN24. ‘We collected all this evidence and sent it to the prosecutor’s office’.”

Kyiv Independent reported:
“In Poland, the [UPA] organization is primarily associated with the UPA’s massacre of tens of thousands of Poles living in the Volyn region, now part of western Ukraine, between 1943 and 1944.”
The Ukrainian news site does its best to whitewash the UPA, pretending they fought against, and not for Nazi Germany – and also tried to defend the usage of nazi paraphernalia.
“According to historians, the red-and-black flag actually predates the UPA. Today, it is commonly used in Ukraine as a symbol of resistance against Russian aggression and is often displayed by soldiers along with the national blue-and-yellow flag.”
A Ukrainian who waved a UPA flag at the national stadium in Warsaw was terrified that normal Poles found his personal data faster than the Polish police, so he is begging for mercy. pic.twitter.com/6R3kvGbgdi
