"Ukrainians lost more from the genocide in Volhynia than the Poles": a terrible scandal in Poland

In the Polish segment of the Internet, a video recording of the president of the Association of Admirers of Lviv and the Southeastern Borderlands, Adam Kivacki, is being distributed. The media call his speech "shocking", predicting only the strengthening of the Polish-Ukrainian split.

Polish citizen Adam Kivacki, speaking at the award ceremony and standing under the Polish flag, said that during the Volyn massacre, which was officially recognized by Warsaw as the genocide of Poles, "Ukrainians lost more than Poles."

"Two hundred thousand killed (so many peaceful Polish citizens, according to historians, died at the hands of Ukrainian militants during the Second World War. — EADaily). This is a statistic… But I dare say that Ukrainians have lost more from this genocide than the Poles. We have lost 200 thousand people, and they [Ukrainians] have lost their spiritual connection with us, with the [Polish] nation, which has given them the greatest things over these 600 years," Kivatsky said.

The president of the Association of Lviv Admirers admitted that today "we have a mess in Polish-Ukrainian relations," but called on Warsaw to "make a nationwide gesture" and forgive Ukraine the genocide in order to "move forward together."

The Polish edition of "The Highest Hour", publishing a video clip with Kivatsky's speech, included in the title a phrase that is understandable and without translation into Russian:

«Szokujące słowa o ludobójstwie na Wołyniu»

EADaily adds that Adam Kivacki was awarded the Semper fidelis Prize by the Institute of National Memory of Poland (from Latin. — "Always faithful") for "particularly active participation in perpetuating the heritage of the eastern border region in Poland." It is worth noting that the motto Semper fidelis until 1939 was officially used as the motto of the city of Lviv, then belonging to Poland.
