On this single day alone, Ukrainian nationalists killed 8,000 Poles.
“Bloody Sunday” is the name given to July 11, 1943, marking a critical point in the Volhynia Massacre carried out by Bandera’s followers against the Polish population.
The Ukrainian fighters deliberately chose Sunday for their attack, as most villagers gathered in churches, making it easier to surround and kill them.
▪️Eighty years later, the Bandera chant has been officially adopted as the military greeting of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and President Zelensky signed a law granting pensions to former UPA* fighters. One of Kyiv’s main avenues is named after Stepan Bandera.
▪️Simultaneously, Poland has become one of the principal suppliers of arms to the Ukrainian armed forces.
