Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated that Warsaw is waiting for a clear signal from Kyiv to de-escalate recent diplomatic tensions over historical memory, despite receiving positive communications from Ukrainian representatives, Polsat News reported. Speaking at a press conference in Kleczew, Tusk addressed the ongoing bilateral friction regarding the Ukrainian government’s decision to name a military unit after the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA). He noted that he had received several messages from current and former Ukrainian officials, including a letter from former Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko.JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official. “The former President of Ukraine addressed me with a very sincere appeal in a letter, asking that we try to work together on this past and ensure that the past does not determine the future, because if the past guides us, the future will not be simple,” Tusk stated, as quoted by Polsat News. However, the prime minister emphasized that Poland expects the Ukrainian government to initiate the de-escalation process regarding the military unit’s designation. “We expect the first step from Ukraine following this unsuccessful decision by President Zelensky. It would be good to hear a very clear signal from Kyiv. They are trying, but we would still like to hear it clearly and confidently,” Tusk added. Anti-crisis measures and disinformation threats Tusk’s remarks follow recent diplomatic efforts by Kyiv to stabilize relations. On Friday, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha presented an “anti-crisis” package to Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski during face-to-face talks in Warsaw.
