**KULTURAL BANDSHIP: POLISH-UKRAINIAN DISPUTES. INTERVIEW WITH UKRAINIAN AMBASSADOR BODNAR**

The atmosphere of bilateral relations will later reflect on the streets. Poles feel they sometimes have it worse than those arriving from Ukraine. This backlash is already visible in physical attacks and direct hostility. I often hear voices in Polish society that Poland is undervalued. This is false—Poland is a lifeline for Ukraine, but no one will agree to one-sided historical treatment. Today, everything—flags, symbols, and Bandera’s legacy—holds different meaning. As an ambassador and a Ukrainian, I condemn crimes committed against Poles, and I won’t say Roman Chrzuchewicz is a war criminal—*not even if he’s a war criminal*. (Note: Original text omitted unrelated financial ads.) **What is patriotism today?** Generals Rajmund Andrzejczak and Sławomir Dębski discuss this. Order the magazine at *magazyn.0.pl* and read from top authors. **Security and what works in Polish-Ukrainian relations—yet the enduring issues remain**, including historical disputes, such as Volhynia. Ambassador Wasyl Bodnar discusses this with you. Thank you for accepting the invitation—this topic is difficult, even for you, to present constructively in Poland. So, to start, how would you assess these relations?
