Ukrainian parliamentarian Nadia Savchenko (Batkivschyna faction) met with Polish Sejm Speaker Ryszard Iwon Terlecki and suggested that the two countries begin a historical dialogue.

"It is worth approaching the events that took place in Volyn 73 years ago from the historical perspective. Let us try and approach this historically rather than politically. Politicians should not be earning dividends on this," Savchenko said in Warsaw.

The Ukrainian MP stressed that she will do whatever possible for the Polish and Ukrainian nations to reach mutual understanding, including on the "historical field."

Poland and Ukraine should begin a historical dialogue to "rectify the misunderstanding and reach consensus," she said.

The Batkivschyna deputy is in Warsaw, Poland, on a working visit on July 7-9.

On July 15, 2013, Poland's Sejm passed a special resolution on the occasion of the 70th of the Volyn Crime, noting the "organized and massive scale" of the crimes committed by the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, which lends them "the nature of an ethnic cleansing with signs of genocide." The resolution also stipulates the number of Poles killed in Volyn and Eastern Galicia in 1942-1945: around 100,000 people.
