"This week the first exhumations will begin, the first and only this year; it must also be said that, in my opinion, there will be no other exhumations in Ukraine this year apart from Puźniki, and those that are starting this week are the result of work carried out since 2022 – said Michał Dworczyk in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on Polsat News' "Graffiti".

"We have a continuation of a certain process, but we do not have any new permits for exhumations […]. Today, this process is being led by the ministers of culture […] they are indeed conducting a good dialogue, and here Minister [Wróblewska] deserves congratulations. I hope that this dialogue will lead to Polish-Ukrainian relations moving in a good direction in this regard – he continued.

"Member of Parliament [Kowal] is not telling the truth [by saying that for the first time in 10 years Ukraine has issued real permits for exhumations and, additionally, for the search for victims]. Over the last few years, or over the last 10 years, during every meeting, talks were held, both by the President, Prime Minister Morawiecki, the Minister of Culture and Prime Minister Gliński, and the result of these efforts, among others, was the first permit issued in almost a decade for searches in Puźniki, and thanks to this permit issued in '22, we can now begin exhumations – he went on to say.

"I am very pleased that there is a continuation of the Law and Justice government's policy by the Civic Platform government […] it is not good, and here I refer to the statements […] by Member of Parliament Kowal, that there are attempts to politicize this, to formulate such accusations. […] A real breakthrough would be the consent of both the Ukrainian and Polish governments for full access for historians and archaeologists to the places where those murdered were located and where the remains of both Poles in present-day Ukraine and Ukrainians in present-day Poland are buried – he added.
