Ukraine for the first time allowed Poles to exhume the bodies of victims who were killed during the Volyn tragedy.
This was announced by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
"I would like to thank the Ministers of Culture of Poland and Ukraine for fruitful cooperation. We are waiting for further decisions," he wrote.
Ukraine has not yet commented on his statement.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, in October, Poland stated that it expects real solutions from Ukraine in the search for the victims of the Volyn tragedy. The search work is planned to be carried out in 2025 in the Rivne Region.
The topic of the events in Volyn in 1943-1945, which in Ukrainian historiography is called the Volyn tragedy, and in Polish - the Volyn massacre, remains a stumbling block in bilateral relations.
Poland has made it clear that resolving historical disputes will be one of the mandatory conditions for approving Ukraine's accession to the EU.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk have agreed to meet by the end of this year. Zelenskyy expressed hope for Poland's support in the negotiation process with the EU on the opening of the first cluster of negotiations and the parallel opening of other clusters.
Ukraine confirms the absence of obstacles to Polish state institutions and private companies conducting search and exhumation work on the territory of Ukraine.
