The authorities of the Polish city of Zamoć announced the severance of partnership with Ternopil after the news of the renaming of the stadium after Roman Shukhevych. This was announced on Wednesday, March 10, by the Zamoć City Hall.
“We state with sorrow that on March 5, the Ternopil councilors named the city stadium after Roman Shukhevych, the head of the UPA responsible for the brutal murders of the Polish population in 1943-44,” the city authorities wrote on the website.
The city authorities of Zamoć say they are forced to stop cooperation with Ternopil on a number of projects. In particular, the funding of the project is stopped Joint history of Ternopil and Zamoć, for which Poland was going to allocate almost 70 thousand euros.
