Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko and his Polish counterpart, Lech Kaczynski, visited the site in the southeastern town of Pawlokoma as a gesture of reconciliation between the two neighbors.


Polish soldiers killed 366 civilians in Pawlokoma in March 1945 in revenge for the murder of 10 Poles by Ukrainians.
