Centrist outlets report the core facts—Poland's action, the UPA naming, the historical context of WW2 massacres—and present responses from both sides without taking sides on the underlying dispute.

Conservative-leaning outlets tend to frame Ukraine's UPA naming as a provocation that justified Poland's response, emphasizing how Zelenskyy's choice 'sparked backlash' given the historical sensitivity.
