Marking the 83rd anniversary of Bloody Sunday, Defense Minister W\u0142adys\u0142aw Kosiniak-Kamysz traveled to O\u0142yka, Ukraine, to honor victims of nationalist violence and stress that truth and exhumations are essential for reconciliation.<\/p>\n
On the 83rd anniversary of Bloody Sunday, W\u0142adys\u0142aw Kosiniak-Kamysz visited O\u0142yka in the Volhynia region to pay tribute to the victims of Ukrainian nationalists. The Defense Minister noted that Bishop Vitaliy Skomarovsky has organized memorial services there for years. Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz emphasized that the victims cry out for memory and truth rather than revenge.<\/p>\n
During the ceremony, the Minister stated that a positive future requires three inseparable values: truth, commemoration, and forgiveness. He argued that the current need for exhumations and dignified burials is a matter of utmost importance for Poland, as these actions are necessary to achieve full forgiveness and prevent the cycle of hatred.<\/p>\n
The Minister suggested adding a commandment to the current moral framework: do not cause pain and do not glorify those who inflict suffering on friends. Polish charge d\u2019affaires in Ukraine, Piotr \u0141ukasiewicz, accompanied the Minister, remarking that acknowledging the violence of the past helps modern nations build a more noble and unified future.<\/p>\n
National Day of Remembrance for the Polish Victims of the OUN and UPA is being observed across Poland, including memorial masses and wreath-laying ceremonies in Warsaw. Similar patriotic events, historical exhibitions, and educational meetings are taking place in numerous cities, including Bydgoszcz, Gda\u0144sk, Krak\u00f3w, and Wroc\u0142aw.<\/p>\n
