Polish Sejm not to consider resolution on Ukrainian-Polish relations during WWII before NATO Summit
Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Andriy Parubiy and Polish Sejm Marshal Marek Kuchcinski during a meeting on Sunday agreed that before the NATO summit in Warsaw, the lower house of the Polish parliament (Sejm) will not put to the vote any decision on the Ukrainian-Polish relations during World War II.
"We've agreed that before the NATO Summit in Warsaw, the Polish Sejm will not consider and vote for any decisions regarding the moot points in the Ukrainian-Polish history of World War II," Parubiy told reporters in Truskavets, Lviv region, after a meeting with Kuchcinski.
It was reported that before the meeting, the Ukrainian speaker said that the Polish parliament is preparing a number of resolutions, which should give an assessment of the Ukrainian-Polish relations during World War II (1939-1945), and noted that "unfortunately, some of these regulations are contain criticism of the Ukrainian side."
The speaker said that he would try to persuade his Polish counterparts that the activation of the discussion of the complicated matters of history amid Russia's aggression against Ukraine is premature. "For us it is important during the discussion... to persuade our brotherly nation, that now, when Russia is carrying out aggression against Ukraine, when Russian occupation troops are on the Ukrainian land, touching on these complex and difficult pages of our history is premature," Parubiy said.
