Statement by the Ambassador

During the interview, the diplomat urged people not to stir up public opinion in Poland over the claim that Ukraine is refusing to grant the Polish side permission to carry out search and exhumation work.

"Ukraine systematically issues permits, one by one, in accordance with requests from the Polish side. That is precisely why the working group exists… I would like to appeal to the Polish side here to issue at least one permit for exploration work in Poland", said Bodnar.

According to him, he has been trying for several months to obtain permission to carry out work in Laskiv.

"But no, we aren’t receiving it. There are always some bureaucratic restrictions. That is why I am publicly appealing for the Polish side to prepare and issue at least one permit", the diplomat added.
