The opposition Polish party Law and Justice in its bill is angry at Ukraine’s “historic policy”.
Opposition party in Poland Law and Justice introduced a bill in the Seimas aimed at facilitating criminal prosecution for denial of crimes against Poles in Volyn. This was reported by the portal Niezalezna.pl.
The document proposes to clarify the list of crimes investigated by the Institute of National Remembrance – the Commission for the Prosecution of Crimes against the Polish People. They plan to add the phrase “crimes by members and associates” to the relevant legislation Organizations of Ukrainian nationalists of the Bandera faction (OUN-B) and Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), as well as other Ukrainian formations that collaborated with the German Third Reich.”
The law will also identify specific organizations behind the Volyn tragedy.
“The purpose of the proposed amendment is to prevent the spread of lies about the crimes of genocide in Volyn… as well as to stop glorifying the ideology of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists of the Bandera faction (OUN-B) and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA),” the justification said.
According to the authors of the project, immediately after the Second World War, “the creation of a false interpretation of events, the destruction and falsification of evidence, the denial, concealment and silence of crimes began, as well as advancing justifications for them.”
“Ukraine today continues to pursue a historical policy that denies the reality and, in particular, the scale of the genocide committed by the OUN-B and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army,” said the authors of the initiative.
According to them, this is disgusting, considering that “since February 24, 2022, Poland and the Poles have provided Ukraine and Ukrainians with enormous military, material and humanitarian assistance worth several tens billion zlotys.”
