@iksde_kacper@Lipker22@reshetz To date, there are no documents confirming that the mass killings of Poles were carried out on the orders of the OUN(b) leadership. Nor is there any document containing such an order signed by Roman Shukhevych, the future commander-in-chief of the UPA.
@iksde_kacper@Lipker22@reshetz Until November 1943, the UPA did not have a single commander-in-chief; political leadership was exercised by the OUN(b). Klym Savur was the commander of the UPA’s “North” regional group.
@iksde_kacper@Lipker22@reshetz Will Poland stop glorifying the Krajowa Army for its war crimes against the Ukrainian civilian population? This works both ways
@iksde_kacper@Lipker22@reshetz I'm talking about a cause-and-effect relationship. I'm not saying that the killings of civilians are justified or deserved.
@iksde_kacper@reshetz That's your problem—you genuinely believe that if the UPA helped the Germans kill Soviets, that automatically makes the UPA Nazis. It doesn't work that way. That's just what you want to believe.
@iksde_kacper@Lipker22@reshetz as well as the 1930 “pacification” campaign, during which Ukrainian villages were subjected to mass police and military repression
@iksde_kacper@Lipker22@reshetz Interwar Poland’s Policy Toward Ukrainians: the suppression of Ukrainian schools and cultural institutions, restrictions on the use of the Ukrainian language, the destruction of Orthodox churches during the 1938 campaign in the Chełm and Podlasie regions,
@iksde_kacper@reshetz Although, toward the end of the war, it occasionally engaged in localized tactical cooperation with the Germans against the USSR.
@iksde_kacper@reshetz The OUN attempted to form an alliance with Germany in order to establish an independent Ukraine, but these plans failed after Germany refused and the OUN leadership was subjected to repression. The UPA was formed later and fought against both German and Soviet forces.
@iksde_kacper@reshetz I’m trying to get across a simple point to you: that you’re accusing the UPA of killing Poles more effectively than the Poles killed Ukrainians. And it’s very convenient to say that the events of 1942 have no bearing on what happened afterward.
@iksde_kacper@reshetz “In retaliatory operations,” of course. The only problem is that the first documented systematic cases of violence against civilians were committed by Polish units against the Ukrainian population of Kholm in 1942. That’s a bit awkward, isn’t it?
@iksde_kacper@Lipker22@reshetz Yeah, yeah, sure, you're the only innocent victim in this whole story. Praising an organization that fought for your country's independence isn't an anti-Polish move. Deal with it.
@iksde_kacper@reshetz For the same reason that Poland glorifies the killers of Ukrainians—the Home Army. As for the UPA, they fought against both the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany.
@iksde_kacper@reshetz So, Polish nationalists stir up hatred toward Ukrainians at every opportunity, but it's Zelenskyy's fault? You're mentally retarded.
