Ukraine has issued its first permits to Poland for the exhumation of the remains of victims of the Volhynia massacre. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced this on Platform X.
"Finally, a breakthrough. A decision has been made regarding the first exhumations of Polish victims of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA). I thank the Ministers of Culture of Poland and Ukraine for their good cooperation. We eagerly await further decisions," the Prime Minister wrote.
As the UOJ previously reported, the head of Poland's Institute of National Remembrance and presidential candidate from the Law and Justice party, Karol Nawrocki, had stated that he does not currently see Ukraine as a member of the European Union or NATO. He explained his stance by pointing to the unresolved issue of exhuming the victims of the Volhynia massacre.
