“Tomorrow (Tuesday, November 19), the team of the Search and Identification Bureau of the Institute of National Remembrance, in collaboration with specialists from the Ukrainian side, will begin search work on the territory of the former cemetery in Zboishchi (Lviv region),” the message said.
According to the Bureau, the purpose of the work is to determine whether in the surveyed area there is a mass grave of Polish soldiers who died in September 1939 defending Lviv.
“These areas are one of several places included in the application submitted to the Ukrainian authorities by the Institute of National Remembrance,” the Bureau added.
Earlier it was reported that Ukrainian researchers together with Polish experts would carry out search and exhumation work on the territory of the monastery of Saints Peter and Paul in the city of Drohobych.
Let us recall that under President Poroshenko, the previous head of the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory, Vladimir Vyatrovich, blocked the Poles from carrying out exhumation work until the Polish authorities gave Ukraine the same opportunities to work on the cemeteries of UPA participants in Poland. After the change of power in Ukraine and the meeting of Presidents Zelensky and Duda, this issue was unblocked on the Ukrainian side.
