"Zelensky and Duda Commemorate Victims of WWII Volhynia Massacre, Promote Reconciliation"

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Polish President Andrzej Duda have jointly commemorated the Poles killed by Ukrainian nationalists in the 1943 Volhynia massacre. The massacre, which remains a dark cloud in their relations, saw Ukrainian nationalists attack Polish villages, resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands of Poles. Poland considers it a genocide and has called for an apology from Ukraine. The joint commemoration was seen as a symbolic gesture of reconciliation, as both countries face Russian aggression and maintain close ties.
