Poroshenko’s TV channel voiced a new demand for Poland: Remove anti-Ukrainian lines from the anthem
Poles do not have the moral right to be outraged by the glorification of Stepan Bandera - first, the text of the Polish anthem should be changed, removing anti-Ukrainian attacks from there.
This demand was voiced by Ukrainian political scientist Alexander Paliy on Channel 5, owned by Petro Poroshenko.

According to him, the Polish anthem glorifies the military leader Stefan Czerniecki, who is “involved in the genocide of Ukrainians.”
“We are probably a very liberal people and believe that every nation has the right to some of its own heroes. As an example, I give a cool thing and often say this to Poles I know - if you want Ukrainians to change their attitude towards their heroes under your influence, not based on their own interests, but based on your influence, then please change your Polish anthem , which was written in the 1790s. Where there is a glorification of a person, there is Stefan Czarnecki, who fought against Ukraine and was involved in real genocidal actions. Eliminate the glorification of Chernetsky from your anthem, and then we’ll see,” Paliy said.
