120000 reasons not to forget: Poland slams Ukraine over Volhynia genocide, 'Reconciliation isn't...'

Published on Jul 12, 2026 11:24 am IST

Polish President Karol Nawrocki said reconciliation with Ukraine must not come at the cost of forgetting the victims of the Volhynia massacres during World War II. Speaking at commemorations marking the anniversary of the 1943 killings, Nawrocki criticized symbols associated with the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), while calling for truth and remembrance. Poland officially recognizes the massacres as genocide, whereas Ukraine refers to them as the Volhynian Tragedy and disputes that classification. Watch the full remarks and the latest developments in the historical debate affecting Poland-Ukraine relations.
