He made the remarks on Saturday during commemorative events marking the 83rd anniversary of the Volhynia tragedy at the church complex in the village of Radruż in Poland's Subcarpathian Voivodeship, Ukrinform reports.
Nawrocki said Poland should not tolerate the display of the UPA's red-and-black flag.
"Under this red-and-black flag, which we do not want to see in Poland – and I will do everything to ensure it is not present in Poland. I believe the Polish parliament will pass the appropriate legislation, because it is a flag of 'blood and soil' (Blut und Boden)," Nawrocki said.
The Polish President also stressed that remembering the tragic events in Volyn is important not only for understanding the past but also for building the future.
"This knowledge, this truth, and this remembrance are necessary so that we can also think about our future," he said.
