Ukraine will open the archives of its secret services relating to the Volyn massacre of 1943 and 1944. This was announced by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who on Friday thanked Poland for its support and presented the step as a conciliatory gesture from Kyiv towards Warsaw. svet.sme.sk ↗
The disclosure is to concern the archives of the Security Service of Ukraine and the Foreign Intelligence Service. These are documents related to one of the most sensitive historical topics in Polish-Ukrainian relations. During the Volyn massacre, according to historians' estimates, Ukrainian nationalists murdered between 50,000 and 100,000 Poles, including women and children. teraz.sk ↗
Relations between Poland and Ukraine are burdened by differing views on the events of the Second World War period. According to available information, the dispute also escalated after Zelenskyy granted one of the Ukrainian military units the honorary name Heroes of the UPA. It is precisely the Ukrainian Insurgent Army that is associated in Poland with the massacres of the Polish population. ekonomika.pravda.sk ↗
The opening of the archives may create space for further historical research and for easing tensions between Kyiv and Warsaw. At the same time, it will be a test of whether the two countries, alongside their military and political cooperation, can also come to terms with topics that remain the subject of long-standing disputes. kultura.pravda.sk ↗
