Zelensky Orders Volhynia Archives Opened To Mend Poland Ties
Zelensky's Poland working group also promised exhumation permits for Polish war dead and new funding for Kyiv's own memory institute.
- Zelensky held the meeting July 17, 2026, calling neighborly, equal relations Europe's shared priority.
- Kyiv will grant permissions to exhume Polish civilians killed in the 1943 Volhynia massacre.
- Ukraine pledged new bilateral dialogue formats and fresh funding for its Institute of National Memory.
Why it matters: An archive sealed for eighty years opens exactly when Kyiv needs Warsaw's weapons, not sooner.
