Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced on Saturday, on the anniversary of the Volhynia massacres, that a memory wall with an eternal flame and the names of identified Polish victims of 20th-century wars on the territory of present-day Ukraine will be built in Warsaw. aktuality.sk ↗
Tusk described the Volhynia massacre as genocide committed by Ukrainian nationalists during World War II. At the same time, he stressed that commemorating the victims should not serve to deepen hatred between Poles and Ukrainians. According to him, however, a country that wants to belong to the European Union must be prepared to face the truth about its own past. hnonline.sk ↗
The new initiative follows tense Polish-Ukrainian discussions about historical memory. In recent days, Tusk has also spoken about the need for an honest conversation with Kyiv and has called for relations with Ukraine not to be escalated. Poland continues to declare its support for Ukraine in its defense against Russian aggression, yet within the country a sharp political dispute is underway over the extent of this support and over historical issues. aktuality.sk ↗
Further developments will depend on how Warsaw specifies the form of the memorial and how the Ukrainian side responds to Tusk's statements. The topic may remain a sensitive part of Polish-Ukrainian relations alongside ongoing security cooperation. Le Figaro ↗
