Poland Ukraine Tensions Over Volyn Massacre | Global News

Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk unveils a national memorial for victims of the Volyn massacre, framing it as a genocide by Ukrainian nationalists — a claim that stirs deep diplomatic tension with Ukraine. While Poland sees the UPA as mass murderers, many Ukrainians view them as freedom fighters. The rift flares anew as Zelensky’s naming of a Ukrainian unit after the UPA led to Poland revoking its highest honor for him. Tusk insists truth must heal the past, while President Duda reaffirms Poland’s unwavering support for Ukraine against Russia. Ukraine’s Foreign Minister calls the memorial a “strategic mistake,” and three former presidents return Polish awards in solidarity. Zelensky, meanwhile, urges both nations to prioritize their shared existential threat from Russia over historical wounds.
