According to the head of the Polish Ministry of Defense, Władysław Kosyniak-Kamysz, Ukraine's accession to the European Union is not a matter of "to be or not to be", so he can make certain demands against this background.
Points of attention
- The Polish minister believes that his demand for the Volyn tragedy is the most honest approach.
- Ukraine's accession to the EU is not only an opportunity for development, but also a chance to increase GDP and other socio-economic indicators.
- The minister emphasized the importance of interstate relations and the actions of state institutions in the matter of exhumations.
The Polish minister argued his scandalous behavior
Vladyslav Kosinyak-Kamysh is convinced that his demand to Ukraine regarding the Volyn tragedy is the most honest approach.
He also added that this will in no way affect the humanitarian or military support of Kyiv, because Warsaw also wants the defeat of Russia in this war.
We have helped and are helping unconditionally where people's lives are at stake and where we believe we can help Russia lose the war. Joining the EU is not "to be or not to be" for Ukraine, it is an opportunity for development, for higher GDP growth, it is their chance. We can condition this development and, in addition to the conditions set by the EU, we can set our own ethical and historical condition for Volyn.

The minister also drew attention to the fact that his position is currently supported by the Polish government, in particular Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
The head of the Polish Ministry of Defense pointed out an important nuance
According to the minister, until he bows his head before the graves of those killed in Volyn, he does not want to make vague statements about Ukraine's plans in this matter.
At the same time, there is one important thing that I want to clarify — the question of exhumations is not a question of Polish families against Ukraine, it is a question of the actions of the Ukrainian state against the Polish state, — said Vladyslav Kosinyak-Kamysh.
The head of the Polish Ministry of Defense also complained that obtaining permits for exhumations by families does not meet the expectations of the Polish government.
In his opinion, these should be interstate relations with the involvement of state institutions from both sides.
Exhumations take place on a bilateral basis between states. We will not accept a situation where it is the families who will demand the exhumation of their loved ones, because some families are there, and some have disappeared, because they were all killed. Commemoration, on the other hand, belongs to everyone, the minister added.
