Ukrainian Insurgent Army

The Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) is described in the coverage as an organization designated as extremist and banned in Russia, with its activities prohibited on Russian territory. It is associated with historical crimes, particularly mass killings of Polish civilians during World War II, which has led to diplomatic tensions between Ukraine and Poland. The entity has become a point of contention due to recent Ukrainian government actions, including renaming military units after UPA 'heroes,' prompting backlash from Poland and sanctions such as revoking state honors.
