“Last week, Ukraine and Poland began to put aside a big source of tension in their relationship as neighbors. Work began on exhuming the remains of thousands of Poles killed by Ukrainian nationalists during World War II. Families of the Polish victims have long wanted answers. ‘We have found the right formula: that we will not bargain over the dead, but both sides will fulfill their Christian duty,’ Poland’s foreign minister, Radosław Sikorski, told the radio station TOK. What helped trigger this step of reconciliation in 2025? One more crisis in Europe, namely the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Both Poland and Ukraine are neighbors of Russia. In recent decades, the continent has had its fair share of crises, from a financial meltdown to a mass influx of migrants to climate disasters.” (04/29/25)
