Ukraine allowed Poland to search for graves and exhume the remains of Poles killed by Ukrainian nationalists during World War II. The decision is reported by the Polish Foundation “Freedom and Democracy”.
Thus, the foundation was the first in history to receive permission from the Ukrainian side to search for and exhume the graves of Poles killed by the UPA (an extremist organization banned in Russia) on the territory of Ukraine.
Permission, as specified in the message of the fund, was received for archaeological work in the city of Puzhniki in the Ivano-Frankivsk region. There are graves of Poles killed in February 1945.
The information was confirmed by Deputy Foreign Minister of Poland Marcin Przydacz. He stated that the fact of official permission to carry out prospecting work is a big change compared to the early position of the Ukrainian authorities.
