Poland Freezes Ukraine Aid Over WWII Commemoration Vote
Poland has paused a military aid package to Ukraine, Kyiv said, after a regional vote in Lviv honoring WWII nationalist figures. The dispute centers on a local decision in the western Ukrainian city. Poland has long objected to honoring leaders of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), a WWII-era nationalist group accused of massacring Poles. Separately, Ukrainian forces carried out an underground operation, traveling more than 15 kilometers through tunnels to capture over 30 Russian soldiers.
