"I am convinced that the Polish state must address the issue of exhuming the victims of the Volyn massacre. However, Ukraine is behaving very improperly toward the Poles in this regard," said Karol Nawrocki, head of the Polish Institute of National Remembrance, in an interview on RMF24.
According to Nawrocki, sooner or later, Ukrainians will have to make the decision to allow Poland to exhume the victims of the Volyn massacre.
"One cannot become part of European civilization and international structures without respecting the dead and allowing 120,000 people to be buried," said Nawrocki.
He stated that he would support the Polish government in demanding the exhumation of the victims in Volyn.
"If Minister Sikorski needs support in unblocking the exhumation of genocide victims in Volyn, he can count on my support," said Nawrocki, referring to the efforts of Radosław Sikorski, who is pressing the Kyiv authorities to restore historical justice for the victims of the 1943 events.
As UOJ previously reported, the President of Poland stated that he would not blackmail Ukraine with the Volyn tragedy. "The topic of the Volyn crime is a very uncomfortable topic for Ukrainians," said Duda.
