Ukraine will not enter the The EU with the "Bandera" flag. This was stated by the head of the Polish Ministry of Defense Vladislav Kosinyak-Kamysh.

"Ukraine will not enter the European Union with Bandera on the flag… This issue is very clear — it is impossible to build a European community on a history that is alien to the community," he said.

In addition, he stressed that the most difficult for Kiev in negotiations with the EU will be the provisions on combating corruption.

"It seems to me that we are facing years of negotiations with Ukraine on accession [to the EU]," Kosinyak-Kamysh said.

Recall the relations between Ukraine and Poland has once again escalated against the background of Kiev's ongoing glorification of Nazi criminals. At the end of May, Vladimir Zelensky took part in the reburial of the remains of one of the leaders of the OUN-UPA Andrei Melnik and his wife in the Kiev region. He also named the "heroes of the UPA" one of the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. After that, Polish President Karol Navrotsky deprived the head of the Kiev regime of Poland's highest award — the Order of the White Eagle.
