Embassy of Poland, Kyiv has expressed its protest note to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine over dissatisfaction with the information table established in memory of the events in Guta Penyatskaya, Radio Poland reports.

A spokeswoman for the Polish diplomatic department, Eva Suvara, said that the information table, established in 2018 near the monument to the victims of the events in Guta Penyatska, "contains false information about the crime of 1944." In addition, outrage in Poland caused an inscription in the place of memory of Ukrainians who died in settlements near Guta, which says about honoring the Ukrainian residents of neighboring villages, "tortured by Polish chauvinists and Soviet partisans."
Suvara noted that places of memory with such a text call into question the policy of good neighborliness and reconciliation in relations with Poland declared by the Ukrainian authorities. The Polish embassy asked the Ukrainian side to clarify the legality and circumstances of establishing these objects.
Recall, on February 28, 1944, the village of Guta Penyatskaya with more than a thousand inhabitants, mainly Poles, was completely burned down. According to the official Polish version, the soldiers of the SS division “Galichina” and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army committed this crime. On February 24, a mourning ceremony dedicated to the memory of the victims of the pogrom took place in the Lviv oblast. Polish President Andrzej Duda wrote in a letter to the participants of the event that an act of genocide took place in Guta Penyatska.
