Joint Ukrainian-Polish search operations at burial sites are scheduled to resume in the spring.
Head of the Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance Oleksandr Alfyorov announced this in a comment to Ukrinform.
“In spring, search operations will begin both by the Polish side in Ukraine and by Ukrainian teams in Poland,” he said.
In particular, the search works will continue in the village of Jureczkowa in Poland.
According to him, due to weather conditions, it is currently impossible to carry out such operations. However, archaeological surveys — including site inspections and landscape studies — remain possible.
As reported by Ukrinform, Kyiv has granted Warsaw permission to conduct search operations in the village of Uhly, Rivne region.
A Ukrainian expedition comprising researchers from the Lviv-based Dolya Memorial and Search Center carried out search and exhumation works in the village of Jureczkowa, Podkarpackie Voivodeship, Poland.
On the territory of the former cemetery in the Zboishcha district of Lviv, a joint Ukrainian-Polish expedition conducted search and exhumation works for the reburial of remains of Polish Army soldiers.
In the Ternopil region, remains discovered in Puzhnyky during search and exhumation works have been reburied.
