There was more in Ukraine's Monday communication, due to the fact that the president announced that his task would include the penalisation of the "Border symbol", which will be compared in the Criminal Code with swastika.
"In order to destruct Russian propaganda and set up Polish-Ukrainian relations on real partnership and common respect, common sensitivity, I believe that we should include in the bill a clear slogan: a halt to flagism and in the penal code align the flag symbol with symbols that correspond to German national socialism commonly called Nazism, russian communism and make corrections in the Act on the Institute of National Memory – the Commission for the Investigation of Crimes Against the Polish Nation in relation to the crimes of the CNS-UPA", announced the president of Poland.
The presidential task will besides include provisions amending the conditions for obtaining Polish citizenship.
