'ABHORRENT CRIMINALS': Poland Calls Out Ukraine's Bandera Worship At Volhynia Anniversary March!

Thousands of demonstrators marched through the southeastern Polish city of Przemysl with flares and Polish flags on the anniversary of the 1943 Volhynia massacres — when Ukrainian nationalist units killed tens of thousands of Polish civilians — demanding a formal apology and exhumations from Ukraine, as march organiser Marcin Kowalski called on Kyiv to condemn what he described as the most abhorrent criminals in history and withdraw from the cult of Bandera, while Michal Urbanik of the All-Polish Youth organisation declared that Ukraine has delivered the complete opposite of what Poland expects. The commemorations come amid a dramatic diplomatic deterioration between Warsaw and Kyiv — triggered by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's decision to grant a Ukrainian special forces unit an honorary name linked to the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, the organisation held responsible for the Volhynia massacres — which prompted Polish President Nawrocki to revoke Zelensky's Order of the White Eagle, Poland's highest state honour, with the Ukrainian leader subsequently returning the award in a public exchange that marks one of the most serious diplomatic ruptures between two supposedly allied nations since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in 2022. Poland officially recognises the Volhynia killings as genocide. Ukraine disputes that label — calling them the Volhynian Tragedy — and the deepening definitional and political gulf between Warsaw and Kyiv is now threatening one of Ukraine's most strategically vital European alliances at its most vulnerable wartime moment.
