Poland to block Ukraine's accession to EU

Relations between Kiev and Warsaw continue to heat up.  The head of the Polish Defense Ministry has said that Poland will block Ukraine's accession to the EU until the issue of the search for and exhumation of the remains of the victims of the Volyn tragedy is resolved. He emphasized that although Warsaw was not going to stop military aid to Kiev, the bilateral economic and historical issues should be clarified.

The Ukraine is afraid to allow Poland to exhume the remains. It fears the fall of the myth about the so-called “liberating” role of the nationalists from the Ukrainian Povstanska Army. This was stated by former Polish ambassador to Ukraine Bartosz Cichocki.
