Poland’s leaders have marked the anniversary of a World War II-era Ukrainian massacre of Poles by stressing that only the full truth about the violence that Poland describes as a genocide can strengthen bilateral ties with its neighbour in the future.
Polish President Andrzej Duda and Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on Monday – during an observance of the Day of Memory of the Victims of Genocide – that the anniversary was the best time to condemn the murder of Polish civilians by Ukrainians during and just after World War II and to build proper graves for the victims.

“Let this truth in fact serve as a foundation … for new relations between our nations and societies,” Duda said.
Duda said that the truth about the wartime massacres between 1942 and 1945 had to be “firmly and clearly stated” regardless, and called on Kyiv to acknowledge the ethnic cleansing of Poles by Ukrainian nationalist militias.
“It was not about and is not about revenge, about any retaliation. There is no better proof of this than the time we have now,” Duda said, referring to the two countries’ current cooperation against Russia.
Poland is among the staunchest allies of Ukraine in its defence against Russian aggression and is providing political support, weapons, and routes for Ukraine’s exports, especially grain. Millions of Ukrainian refugees have also found shelter in Poland since Russia’s invasion in February.

The violence that occurred between the two countries during World War II remains a point of contention, however.

The issue was complex for Ukrainians, Duda said, since some regarded the same militias as heroes for the resistance they mounted against the Soviet Union and as symbols of Kyiv’s painful struggle for independence from Moscow.
“Those who we know were murderers were also heroes for Ukraine, at other times and with a different enemy, and often died at the hands of the Soviets, fighting with deep faith for an independent, free Ukraine,” he said.

‘Bloody Sunday’​

For decades, under Moscow’s control, the incident was a taboo topic and it still remains hard to discuss between the neighbours.

Historians say that more than 100,000 Poles, including women and even the smallest children, perished at the hands of their Ukrainian neighbours in a nationalist drive in areas that were then in southeastern Poland and are mostly in Ukraine now.
July 11, 1943, marked the peak of the violence, known as “Bloody Sunday,” when the fighters of the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists carried out coordinated attacks on Poles praying in or leaving churches in more than 100 villages, chiefly in the Volhynia region.
Poland established the day of memory in 2016 and insists that the events constituted a genocide – a word that both Duda and Morawiecki used in their speeches on Monday.

I posted in another thread that Russia and US are both making diplomatic moves and could lead to new developments. Besides Biden summoning Zelensky to DC, Putin is visiting Belarus and also sent his party chairman to Beijing.

I think talks are in the way for either an escalation ... Or hopefully a peace treaty soon in 2023

what’s huge is the upcoming spending bill of $1.69t to be signed by friday. secure act 2.0. involves employers and low incum folks (those making $69k or less a year) contributing to 401k retirement accounts, joining the ranks of middle to upper middle incum workers in retirement savings. for institutional fund managers, investors, and wall street behemoths, huat ah! more workers’ money to play with on the stock and bond markets. as for ukraine, billions are included in the spending bill. more advanced weaponry for ukraine. putin will lose. you can bet on it.

Thank you for your post Mr. Syed Putra.

Human Civilization is replete with mistakes made, as ALL are flawed, including myself, often created by some or the small but LOUD VOCAL minority, or influenced by bigger powers for political power lusts.

Most IMPORTANT for Human Civilization's progress is to ACKNOWLEDGE the mistakes made, CORRECT it in order to progress. Truth & Realities stand on its own unshakable pedestal. MISTAKES made in the PAST are only BAGGEGES of past, & mistakes made DID were corrected, thus Human Civilization's PROGRESS today. Like Science advancements in these few centuries, peaceful co-existence NEEDS to be BUILT UPON by knowledge gained thru sacrifices of many, & especially compromises, to LET GO of the pain, ignorance & sufferings BAGGEGES of the past to EVOLVE.

Even in Asia, even in Singapore, our courageous Forefathers, mere mortals, experienced the WORSE of ethnic supremacy stupidities, & rather than to DWELL on the past, they ROSE above it all, thru meaningful discussions & actions, to progress beyond what that had already happened, to CHANGE so that there may be a BETTER future for all.

Only those whom are either ignorant, or willfully & intentionally seeking for yet again foolish racist supremacy & worse - in positions of power to influence, WILL continue to raise the issue of past mistakes that long had been corrected upon that era & period of evolution optics, to engage NOW in a program of lust for power, at the expense of many other naive innocent lives of this generation & those yet to come...

History of Human Civilization is important. It reminds all of mistakes & also progresses made, otherwise our civilization would have not had progress to today, caught up in a forever war among each other, stagnant & living still in the stone ages. May you learn to live, let go, & help to progress civilization instead. Manifest Destiny of Humankind awaits....
