Polish PM pledges memorial to victims of WW2 'genocide by Ukrainian nationalists'

Polish Prime Minister has pledged to build a memorial to honor the victims of World War II killings perpetrated by Ukrainian nationalists. The move is likely to further strain relations between Warsaw and Kyiv, which have been at odds for decades over the massacres. Thousands of Polish civilians were killed during the war, with estimates suggesting the death toll was extremely high. The killings remain a highly sensitive and contentious issue between the two countries.
