    I don’t like it at all.

      I’ve read a short article about it but it seems that without relevant historical knowledge it’s hard to determine. My initial impression is that the Polish president is purposely making a spectacle of the issue and rage baiting his population, and that the main beneficiary is Putin.

        Tensions between Warsaw and Kyiv have been high for days following Zelensky’s decision to name a military unit after the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), a World War II militia that Warsaw accuses of participating in massacres of Poles.

        That’s better context.

          It’s not accusation, it’s a fact… Ukraine is blocking searches for graves of killed Poles during ww2 for no reason… Still what has been found ( plenty of confirmed mass graves of Poles all age ) says it’s confirmed

        Thank you for a little background. The story keeps going through the news cycle and I was unclear on what the fundamental problem was.
