The Polish-Ukrainian historical dispute has already passed its hottest stage – at least for now. But it would be premature to say that it has been resolved, and the stakes are high. Social tensions on both sides of the border remain high. It is difficult to remember a time when issues concerning Poland were discussed so frequently in the Ukrainian media. The historical dispute is being debated, as are continued Polish support for Ukraine and Poland’s position on Ukraine’s path to EU membership.JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official. More recently, Ukrainian media have also been discussing the absence of Ukrainian military representatives from the parade marking Polish Armed Forces Day. The holiday is celebrated on August 15, the anniversary of the Battle of Warsaw and Poland’s victory in the war against the Bolsheviks. In reality, the participation of the Ukrainian military would have been largely symbolic, but it could have been used constructively by politicians. In 1920, many Ukrainians from Symon Petliura’s army fought alongside Poland. On the other hand, gestures of this kind require a favorable political climate. There is also no point in looking for problems where there are none; the parade is not what is at stake. What matters is substantive support for Ukraine. This includes Poland potentially supplying MiG-29 fighter jets in exchange for Ukrainian drone know-how, as well as the transit of Ukrainian grain at a time when Black Sea ports are blocked. Above all, it includes ammunition for Patriot systems, which can effectively intercept the Russian ballistic missiles terrorizing Ukrainian cities.
