Kiev should allow the “full-scale” exhumation of the victims of mass ethnic cleansing perpetrated by Ukrainian Nazi collaborators during World War II, also known as the Volyn massacre, Polish President-elect Karol Nawrocki has said.
Poles are “waiting for this truth” and their families “are still suffering from the trauma that happened 82 years ago,” he stated at a ceremony honoring the victims of the Volyn massacre on Friday.
The president-elect was speaking about a mass killing campaign waged by militants from the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) and the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) from 1943 to 1945 in the regions of Volhynia and Eastern Galicia, in which around 100,000 Poles were killed. Both organizations actively collaborated with Nazi Germany.
