Polish Foreign Ministry representative Lukasz Yasin’s request to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to apologize for the Volyn massacre is unacceptable. This was stated by the Ambassador of Ukraine in Warsaw, Vasily Zvarich.
“Any attempt to impose on the Ukrainian President or Ukraine what we should do with our common past is unacceptable and unfortunate,” he wrote on his Facebook* page.
Zvarich stressed that in Ukraine they remember history, but at the same time they call for “respect and caution in statements”.
Earlier, the representative of the Polish Foreign Ministry, Yasina, called on Zelenskyy to apologize for the events in Volyn. Volyn massacre – the destruction in 1943 by Ukrainian nationalists of the Polish population of Volyn and, on a smaller scale, representatives of other nationalities. In Poland, this episode of history is considered a genocide and the death of up to 150,000 people is claimed.
