Poland is trying to resolve the painful issues in the history of relations with Ukraine, and first of all, it wants to put an end to the tragedy in Volyn.
Ukrainian diplomats are ready to discuss “controversial issues of common history” with their Polish colleagues. Including talk about the tragedy of Volyn. This is what Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrei Sibiga said on Monday, October 1, Radio Liberty reported.
Sibiga assured that Ukraine “has enough political will and diplomatic ability to solve anything, including the most complex issues, with our closest allies and friends – the Poles.”
The previous day, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry announced a planned meeting between Sibiga and Polish President Andrzej Duda in a tete-a-tete format on the sidelines of the Warsaw Security Forum.
It is known that at the end of July, the Minister of Defense of Poland Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysh said that Warsaw should give an ultimatum to Kyiv – Ukraine will not become a member of the European Union if it does not solve the “Volyn issue. “
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said this issue could only become a thing of the past after the exhumation and proper burial of those killed in Volyn. And Poland’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Teofil Bartoszewski, said that the issue of exhumations of victims of the Volyn tragedy will be considered as part of the opening of the first chapter in negotiations with Ukraine on EU accession.
