A joint Ukrainian-Polish expedition spent more than four weeks excavating the former cemetery in the Zboyscha area. Experts have discovered two mass graves, which, according to experts, may contain the remains of 40 to 50 soldiers. This was announced on September 1 on the website of the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine.

According to archival data, soldiers who died on September 12, 1939, were buried in the first pit, and those who died a few days later were buried in the second.
