The EU warned on June 23 that a spiralling diplomatic row between Ukraine and Poland over World War II memory risked benefitting the Kremlin.
"There's only one happy observer in this type of situations, and that's the aggressor in Ukraine, and so we shouldn't be playing into their hands," EU spokeswoman Paula Pinho said.
"We have confidence in the ongoing discussions that are taking place between Poland and Ukraine and we are confident that indeed this will be solved."
