Poland Asks Ukraine To Confront Dark Past Despite Common Front Against Moscow

Polish President Andrzej Duda has called for Ukraine to admit what he called the shameful truth about how Ukrainian nationalists had massacred over 100,000 Poles during World War Two, despite Kyiv and Warsaw’s common front against Russia now.

Duda said that the truth about the wartime massacres and others like it in Eastern Galicia from 1944-45 had to be “firmly and clearly stated” and called on Kyiv to acknowledge the ethnic cleansing of Poles by Ukrainian nationalist militias.

Duda, referring to the two countries’ current cooperation against Russia, said “It was not about and is not about revenge, about any retaliation. There is no better proof of this than the time we have now.”
