"Presidents of Poland and Ukraine Unite to Commemorate WWII Massacre Victims and Promote Reconciliation"

The presidents of Ukraine and Poland, Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Andrzej Duda, paid tribute to the victims of the Volhynia massacre during World War II. The massacre, which took place between 1943 and 1945, saw Ukrainian nationalists killing tens of thousands of Poles. The Polish Parliament considers it a genocide, while Kyiv rejects this categorization. Tensions over this historical event have strained the relationship between the two countries, but efforts are being made to diffuse the situation.
