Seems like a non-issue. Ukraine did it because it deemed it worthwhile for internal morale/PR reasons. Poland did not like it due to historical reasons. Poland did a diplomatic rebuke towards Ukraine. Ukraine accepted it and things moves on as before.

It is a bit of an issue in a sense that it's part of a Russian psy-op to have Poland view Ukraine as an enemy. I believe someone is deliberately fanning the flames by railing up "patriots" on both sides. It's a rather sensitive topic and it's been causing a rift between our countries for quite a while.
Kinda hard to reconcile because an organization that is viewed as heroic and crucial for their freedom in Ukraine is also one responsible for mass murder on Polish citizens there (and we're talking like 100k civilians killed so it's not a small number).

It's been a topic for diplomacy for decades now, but to broach it now with such blatant open hostility is suspicious at the least.
