Poland marks World War II-era massacre by Ukrainian nationalists

Poland’s leaders have marked the anniversary of a World War II-era Ukrainian massacre of Poles by stressing that only the full truth about the violence that Poland describes as a genocide can strengthen bilateral ties with its neighbour in the future.

Polish President Andrzej Duda and Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on Monday – during an observance of the Day of Memory of the Victims of Genocide – that the anniversary was the best time to condemn the murder of Polish civilians by Ukrainians during and just after World War II and to build proper graves for the victims.

“Let this truth in fact serve as a foundation … for new relations between our nations and societies,” Duda said.

Duda said that the truth about the wartime massacres between 1942 and 1945 had to be “firmly and clearly stated” regardless, and called on Kyiv to acknowledge the ethnic cleansing of Poles by Ukrainian nationalist militias.
