Polish historian explained the difference in dialogue with Ukraine and Russia.

Conversations about the Volhynian tragedy and the Katyn massacre

According to inkorr.com: Polish historian Lukasz Adamski explained why Poland actively discusses the Volhynian tragedy with Ukraine, but avoids the topic of the Katyn massacre in relations with Russia. He emphasizes that the ties between the Polish and Ukrainian peoples remain strong, while constructive dialogue with Russia is complicated by propaganda and distortion of historical facts. Adamski noted this in an interview with 'Glavkom'.

Poles perceive Ukrainians as a close nation and seek to support them. Even Polish nationalists feel solidarity with the Ukrainian struggle against Russia, opening opportunities for cooperation based on shared history and mutual support. The historian urged not to consider Polish nationalist organizations as tools of Russian influence, as this may complicate cooperation between the nations.

Dialogue with Russia is complicated by the Soviet legacy of crimes and contemporary propaganda.

“As long as Russia does not become a democratic country and open its archives, dialogue with it will be complicated”

It is especially important to mention the joint victories of the Ukrainian and Polish troops over the Red Army near Zamosc in August 1920. This is an important lesson for both nations, demonstrating their cooperation in the struggle for independence and security.

Thus, Ukraine and Poland aim to jointly develop their historical heritage, building dialogue based on mutual respect and support.

This situation demonstrates the importance of mutual understanding between Ukraine and Poland in the context of shared history and contemporary challenges. As both countries face aggression, their cooperation can serve as a strong foundation for strengthening relations on the international stage.
