Between 40,000 and 100,000 Poles are estimated to have been murdered by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), which collaborated with the Third Reich, in the Volyn and Galicia Regions in 1943 and 1944.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2016, the Polish parliament declared the Volyn massacre a&nbsp;<em>\u201cgenocide.\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;While Ukraine\u2019s Vladimir Zelensky and Polish President Andrzej Duda jointly attended an event to honor the memory of Volyn victims in 2023, Kiev has so far been reluctant to call the massacre a genocide, arguing that such a crime can only be perpetrated by a state, while the atrocities were carried out by partisan units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an interview with the Polish broadcaster Polsat on Tuesday, Kosiniak-Kamysz said that while Poland intends to support Ukraine as much as possible,&nbsp;<em>\u201cnot everything is perfect in our relations due to unresolved historical issues,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;particularly when it comes to the atrocities committed by Ukrainian nationalists against Poles.&nbsp;<em>\u201cThere will be no Ukrainian accession to the European Union if the Volyn issue is not resolved,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;he stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He reiterated that the fulfillment of Ukraine\u2019s EU aspirations depends on whether it exhumes the bodies of the victims of the Volyn massacre. His remarks echoed a statement made by Polish Foreign Ministry Undersecretary of State Pawel Jablonski, who said in the autumn of 2023 that&nbsp;<em>\u201cwithout a solution to this issue&#8230; Ukraine cannot dream of joining the European Union,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;while describing it as a condition for&nbsp;<em>\u201clong-term reconciliation with Ukraine.\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zelensky promised to lift a moratorium on the exhumation effort in 2019, with searches resuming that same year in Ukraine\u2019s western Lviv region after Poland agreed to restore a memorial to UPA guerrillas on its soil that had previously been destroyed by vandals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ukraine applied for EU membership in February 2022 after the escalation of the conflict with Russia and was granted EU candidate status in June of the same year. In June 2024, the EU opened official accession talks with Kiev, although its membership remains a distant possibility, with officials in Brussels demanding that Ukraine do more to combat rampant corruption and carry out a slew of other reforms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ukraine cannot hope to join the EU until Kiev and Warsaw resolve their differences over the Volyn massacre, Polish defense chief says Read Full Article at RT.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[267,266,268],"class_list":["post-727","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-top-news","tag-genocide","tag-ukrainian","tag-wwii"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
