In Poland, a provocative plaque was dismantled at the gravesite of UPA warriors.


A provocative plaque was found at the grave of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) soldiers on Mount Monastery, near the Polish-Ukrainian border. This was reported by the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine, referring to 'Glavkom.'
The Subcarpathian Voivodeship ordered the removal of the scandalous plaque at the UPA fighters' grave on Mount Monastery, located not far from the Polish-Ukrainian border.
The actions were carried out in accordance with current legislation and with consideration of cultural heritage protection requirements
The Polish police have already initiated a preliminary investigation regarding this provocative plaque.
The monument to the fallen UPA fighters, who fought against the NKVD units, is located on a hill in Monastery. It was established in the 1990s at the initiative of the Ukrainian community but often faced vandalism.
A plaque appeared at the grave with an inscription accusing the UPA of terrorism and genocide against Polish, Ukrainian, and Jewish populations. The plaque also calls for forgiveness.
It is unknown who installed this plaque, but it is likely that it was done illegally. Polish law enforcement agencies are working on the case.
The monument to the UPA warriors, erected back in the 1990s, has been subject to division in the past. In 2015, the plaque with the names of UPA fighters was destroyed, and the cross at the grave was painted in Polish national colors and the Ukrainian symbols were replaced with Polish ones.
