The organization's press service reported this on YouTube.
The inscription “Our country – our heroes” is visible on the portrait.
The message said that the reason for the action was “openly anti-Ukrainian statements by senior Polish officials.” Nationalists were dissatisfied with statements by Polish President Andrzej Duda and leader of the ruling Law and Justice party Jaroslaw Kaczynski, “who demand that Ukraine abandon the glorification of Stepan Bandera and the UPA.”
The Polish Embassy in Ukraine, as well as the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, have not yet commented on the action.
