Poland has requested that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky publicly denounce the commemoration of individuals responsible for the mass killings of Poles during World War II. The demand comes amid escalating tensions between the two nations regarding Ukraine’s historical memory policies. Specifically, the issue centers on the honoring of figures associated with the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), groups implicated in the Volhynian Massacre and other atrocities against Polish civilians. Polish officials have expressed strong disapproval of any glorification of these groups. RT.com reports that Zelensky has been given a limited timeframe – “a few more days” – to respond to the request. Failure to do so could further strain relations between Warsaw and Kyiv, potentially impacting future cooperation. The situation highlights the sensitive and complex historical issues that continue to shape geopolitical dynamics in Eastern Europe.
