The act of burning the Ukrainian flag in Warsaw during the 98th anniversary is pro-Russian provocation, the Poland's ambassador to Ukraine Jan Pieklo claimed on Tuesday, Ukraine Today reported citing Interfax.
"It was pure provocation, orchestrated by the pro-Russian ambience in Poland. And I think more of such provocations are yet to come. Russia tries to antagonize the Poles and the Ukrainians, tries to divide us," the ambassador told, according to Ukraine Today.
Russia tries to destabilize both Ukraine and the EU, claimed Pieklo. He also stressed that Warsaw still keeps supporting sanctions against Russian over its war in Donbas and Crimea annexation unless the Minsk agreements are fulfilled.
