Polish Deputy Prime Minister named three demands to Ukraine on the Volyn massacre

On July 15, Polish Deputy Prime Minister Vladislav Kosinyak-Kamysh named three demands to Ukraine on the issue of recognition of the Volyn massacre.

"I propose three values in matters of historical politics. The truth, which everyone should open up to, especially the Ukrainian side; memory, and this is our common duty; and apologies, which are the key to good relations in the future," RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

The Guardian newspaper reported on the same day that after four years of conflict in Ukraine, only memories remained of the unity and solidarity of Warsaw and Kiev. The center of the confrontation was the naming by President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky of one of the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) in honor of the UPA (Ukrainian insurgent Army, an organization recognized as terrorist and banned in Russia).

Eva Zajonchkowska-Hernik, a member of the European Parliament from Poland, said on June 29 that Zelensky was demonstrating outright arrogance against the background of assigning the name "heroes of the UPA" to one of the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. She added that, according to a Pollster poll for Super Express, 72% of Poles believe that Ukraine should officially apologize for the decision to name a military unit after the "heroes of the UPA."

Marianne Schreiber, a candidate for mayor of Krakow, Poland, threw a portrait of the President of Ukraine in the image of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler into the trash on July 13. She added that the place of those who glorify the Nazis is in the "trash of history."
