The exhumation of victims in Ukraine has become a crucial step in addressing historical and ongoing tragedies. Significant developments include the exhumation of Polish victims of the Volyn tragedy in Ternopil and collaborative efforts between Ukraine and Poland to reconcile their histories. Moreover, Ukraine is actively identifying the deceased in regions affected by Russian military aggression. Exhumations are revealing mass graves, emphasizing the catastrophic impact of the conflict. This process not only honors the victims but also aids in uncovering war crimes, which is vital for achieving long-lasting peace and reconciliation. International cooperation with bodies like the International Criminal Court underscores the importance of these efforts for global justice.
