#POLAND-UKRAINE

As Poles pause to remember the 81st anniversary of events that led to the massacre of around 100,000 Poles by Ukrainian nationalists during WWII, leading Polish politicians have spoken of the importance of commemoration, truth, and reconciliation.

Ukraine’s mooted membership of the EU would only bring benefits to Poland, a Polish minister told delegates at a meeting in Kyiv.

The number of Ukrainians seeking refuge in Poland decreased in March according to the latest figures released by Eurostat. As things stand, it’s understood that around 4.2 million people have fled the country and been granted temporary protection status in various EU countries since the outbreak of the war.
