Warsaw traditionally blames official Kyiv, not the UPA/OUN, for the so-called “Volyn massacre,” the mass extermination of ethnic Poles living in the western regions of Ukraine and in Volyn in 1943.

As NBN reports with reference to Polsat News, according to the head of the Ministry of National Defense of Poland Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz, Ukraine will be able to integrate into the European Union only if it resolves the issue regarding the Volyn tragedy.
According to Kosiniak-Kamysz, Poland is currently helping Ukraine as much as possible, but in the relations between Kyiv and Warsaw, not everything is so ideal due to a number of “unresolved historical issues.” In particular, the head of the Polish Ministry of Defense is confident that without settling the “Volyn issue”, Ukraine will not be allowed to join the European Union.
However, the Polish military did not specify how exactly the government of our country can “resolve” this issue, with the exception of the fact that on the path of Ukraine's European integration, Warsaw is obliged to “deliver an ultimatum to Kiev”.
Earlier, we wrote about the fact that the head of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs called on EU countries to lift restrictions on strikes by the Ukrainian Armed Forces with Western weapons deep into the Russian Federation.
