The head of the Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance (UINR) Anton Drobovych said on the air of the telethon that he had asked the Cabinet of Ministers to allocate at least 1 million UAH for the search operations program, including in response to requests from Polish citizens, Interfax-Ukraine reports.
“I asked the government to allocate at least UAH 1 million for a separate program. So that we have a separate program for search operations, in particular, if Polish citizens apply, we will try to help them,” said Drobovich.
He noted that for years the Polish side has been unable to launch either working groups or interdepartmental commissions, and Polish citizens are already “desperately turning directly to us.”
