Summary/Abstract: Successive presidents of Ukraine Viktor Yushchenko and Petro Poroshenko have changed their relations between Poland and Ukraine with their pro-fl ag policy. In implementing historical policy, they preferred anti-Polish people and those who carried out propaganda propagated by Banderites during World War II. Already during the war, the Banderites negated their participation in genocidal activities against Poles and Jews, and at present some Ukrainian historians deny that it was genocide, and if confess to anti-Polish action, they try to justify it with various arguments. The new president of Ukraine Volodymyr Zełeński wants to refer to the period when both countries talked about strategic partnership and should be wished that it would not end only on intentions.
