The alleged sabotage included desecrating memorials to Polish victims of the UPA, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army that took part in the murder of tens of thousands of Poles during World War Two known as the Volyhnia massacre.

“The aim was to incite ethnic tensions between Poland and Ukraine,” Poland’s Internal Security Agency (ABW) said in a statement.

    Ah yeah, so families of polish victims laying still in shallow graves ( not only in Volynh ) are Russian bots? I know many of such families including mine. My grandmother was relocated late in 5x to Opole Silesia, half of her close family was murdered

      What I am saying that those families got 100 times more vocal a few days after the war started and the original post is about the russian effort to spread the hate. If you dig deep enough you will always find someone who was hurt by a neighbour. The trick is to amplify their message when convenient.

      Divide and conquer.

      How does scratching old wounds help you to live and prosper now? Does it somehow resurrect the deceaced or help heal the traumas (readily instigated at the moment with questionable motives)?

      Or rather, this somehow serves to vindicate [putin’s] militaristic agenda, the invasion and occupation [happening right now]?
