Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced that he will not attend a conference on Ukraine's reconstruction, scheduled to take place in Gdansk, Poland. The decision was made in light of an ongoing dispute with Polish leaders regarding the legacy of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA).

According to reports, Ukraine's delegation to the conference will be led by Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko. The conference in Gdansk is expected to be an important event focused on Ukraine's post-conflict reconstruction.

The dispute between Ukraine and Poland over the UPA's legacy has been ongoing for several months. The UPA was a Ukrainian nationalist organization that fought against Polish and Soviet forces during World War II.

Context of the Dispute

The dispute between Ukraine and Poland began after Polish leaders decided to erect a monument to the victims of the UPA in Poland. Ukraine's government viewed this decision as a provocation and called on Polish leaders to reconsider their stance.
