Researchers at the Freedom and Democracy, scientists from Pomeranian Medical University and representatives of the Institute of National Memory work on the Polish side. Representatives of the Ukrainian Foundation “Volyn Antiquities” also take part in the works.
“Polish citizens whose persons were killed in the dusaders were killed. We want to establish all the victims of that dramatic night of 1945 and hold a decent burial. Families who live and join the process, for example, passing genetic material,” said the Ministry of Secretary of the Polish Secretary of Ukraine.
It is estimated that about 80 people were killed in the tragic events in 1945.
The works are difficult because the cemetery and mass burial, that is, the place where exhumation is carried out in the middle of the forest. It was the transportation of several tons of specialized equipment there that was a difficult task.
Bad weather could be a challenge by complicating access. However, the weather in Ternopil region is sunny.
Recall:
- In response to the mass destruction of Ukrainian monuments in Poland in 2015-2017, Ukraine introduced the so-called moratorium on the search and exhumation of the Poles’ remains, which were killed in 1943-45 by improper investigation of these crimes.
- The issue of exhumation for years has been an apple of discord in relations between Ukraine and Poland. The new Polish authorities, headed by Donald Tusk, stood on Kiev demanding to cancel the moratorium.
- Warsaw even said that the resolution of historical disputes would be one of the prerequisites for Ukraine’s accession to the EU.
- The fact that the Foundation “Freedom and Democracy”, which found this place of burial in the Lenniki two years ago, received permission from the Ukrainian authorities to dig the remains of the remains from the land and conduct further research in January.
- This news came after Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced a “breakthrough” in the case of exhumation of victims of the Volyn tragedy.
