Polish President Andrzej Duda suggested to his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, that they jointly mark this year’s 100th anniversary of the Battle of Warsaw in August, when the troops of Józef Piłsudski and Symon Petliura defeated the Bolsheviks, ukrinform.ua reports.
He made the statement during a joint briefing in Oświęcim, where events are being held to mark the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp.
“I proposed that we jointly honor the memory of Polish and Ukrainian soldiers who in 1920 fought together against the Bolshevik onslaught,” Duda said.
