Ukraine has an absolutely friendly and constructive position toward Poland, as stated by Marianna Betsa, a spokesperson for the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry.
"Our position toward Poland is absolutely friendly and constructive, and we proceed from the fact that the majority of Ukrainians are positive about Poland despite differences in assessments of our complicated historical past, and we have a clear understanding of the need to further strengthen cooperation with Poland in the interests of both peoples," Betsa told Radio Liberty.
She recalled that Ukraine had once reached understanding with Poland that historical reconciliation is possible on the European Christian principle "Forgive and ask for forgiveness."
