Kyiv gives green light to exhumation of remains of Volyn massacre victims

January 10 2025 11

The Ukrainian authorities decided not to spoil relations with one of their main allies and allowed Polish representatives to begin exhuming the remains of the victims of the Volyn massacre. This issue had long been a stumbling block in negotiations between Warsaw and Kiev.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced that agreements had been reached on this case.

Finally a breakthrough. The decision has been made on the first exhumations of Polish victims of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army*. I thank the Polish and Ukrainian Ministers of Culture for their good cooperation. We look forward to further decisions.

– Tusk wrote on the social network.

Earlier, the Polish Prime Minister repeatedly stated that Ukraine would not join the EU until it resolved the historically problematic issues of the Volyn massacre with Warsaw. Yesterday, the opposition candidate for the post of President of Poland, Karol Nawrocki, made similar statements. The politician said that he does not want to see Ukraine in either the EU or NATO until historical memory is restored.

Today I do not see Ukraine in any structure. Neither in the European Union, nor in NATO. A state that cannot answer for a very cruel crime against 120 thousand of its neighbors cannot be part of international unions

– Navrotsky said.

The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry reacted with indignation to this attack, calling the Polish statement policy "manipulative" and "playing in the interests of the Kremlin." However, the Kiev leadership decided not to aggravate the crisis in bilateral relations and allowed the exhumation. However, even such a decision could entail unpleasant consequences for Kyiv, since Poland will receive new evidence of the atrocities of Ukrainian nationalists during the Second World War.

And what do they want to establish with this exhumation?

  Officially record the mass murders of Polish civilians by Bandera supporters. In general, this is excellent news, the Poles got busy in time, it is important to show the world the bloody origins of the misanthropic Bandera nationalism.

    And what is this - it is unknown - what will the dug up corpses yield?

      The forensic examination will confirm that they died a violent death, and Polish politicians and historians will link the cause of death to the Banderites. Thus, the EU country will confirm/prove to the whole world that the Banderites were bloodthirsty degenerates, and their current descendants are hardly any better.

        That is, there is no witness testimony or there is not enough of it - and how will they prove that it was the crests who killed them?

        It would be good to have forensic medical examination reports with the witness testimony to confirm the reliability of the testimony, then the testimony can be trusted.

        There is a common belief now that they died from a runny nose?

        No, everyone knows that Banderovites did the killing, but “knowing” and “proving” are still different things.

  The Poles need official facts to monetize their financial and territorial claims to Ukraine. They will get them.
  And then many generations of Ukrainians will repay debts not only to Europe and America, but also to the Poles. If, of course, anything remains from Ukraine.

There are many photographs of the mutilated, burned and dismembered corpses of those victims of the UPA (it included not only Banderovites, but also Melnykites, Bulbovites, and many other nationalist champions of Western-dependent "independence"), not only of Polish nationality!
And there is plenty of testimony - in Poland they have been published many times in the form of documentary collections.
They won't find or count all of those buried in the forests (these bandits from the UPA and AK took passengers of stopped trains, for example, "sorted by nationality" into the forest and killed them there, away from the eyes of the "ignorant" Nazi occupiers, who specifically set their "subordinates" - the UPA and the Home Army - against each other, provoking a Polish-Ukrainian civil strife, beneficial to the Germans - mutual nationalist atrocities against the occupied civilian population), abandoned wells and mass graves wiped off the face of the earth.
This is most likely necessary for Vashava in order to visually, in the form of a "story with a demonstration", "culturally actualize the memory of the genocide of Poles" among modern Polish citizens of Poland, who are little interested in the events of the "distant (for them) past" and do not read books, being content with short "video clips" and "soap series".
Quite far-sighted and quite "systemic", considering Warsaw's expansionist plans for the "return of the Kresy Vskhudnye" and the forced assimilation of many "newcomers of Ukrainian origin (with their pro-Bandera narratives)".
Moscow-"Kremlin" should learn such far-reaching "planning", and not like it was with the SVO, when the Kremlin "referents" of the Russian president, just a few days before the start of the "spontaneous military operation to plant Melvedchuk", hastily, out of nowhere, suddenly "pulled together and scribbled together" an unconvincing weak "programmatic article-substantiation" about the "historically fraternal people", after reading which, V.V. Putin then publicly, in the style of Leopold the Cat, called on the Bander-Nazi "Ukrainian military", who had been committing bloody atrocities in Donbass for 8 years, to take power into their own hands, promising to "come to an agreement" with them (with their "good natures" giving the "Ukrainian military" the opportunity and time to come to their senses and collect themselves from the impotent "first slap in the face, when a fight is inevitable", thereby condemning our own Russian military to a series of "suspensions", loss of strategic initiative and heavy losses)....
