Warsaw calls desecration of graves in Belarus 'disgraceful'

The destruction of World War II-era Polish soldiers' graves in the Belarusian village of Mikulishki has sparked outrage in Warsaw. On July 4, the representative of the Union of Poles in Belarus (SPB), Marek Zanevsky, wrote on Facebook that a gravesite for Polish Home Army soldiers in the Grodno region had been razed to the ground. The Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs called it a "disgraceful event,” accusing Minsk of failing to meet its commitments regarding memorials. "The act resembles the darkest episodes in the history of communism, and given the earlier accounts of the devastation of Polish war graves, it can only be construed as done on purpose in order to further degrade the mutual relations between Poland and Belarus," it said in a statement.
