Polish and Ukrainian experts are exhuming victims of a World War II massacre in Ostrowki, a former Polish village now in western Ukraine.
The investigation focuses on Polish civilians killed by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) in 1943, a tragedy that remains a source of tension between the two neighbors. Recent disputes over the UPA’s legacy have strained Poland-Ukraine relations and raised concerns for defense cooperation.
Ukraine’s approval of new exhumations is being viewed as a step toward reconciliation, as both sides seek historical truth while facing the shared challenge posed by Russia.
