Negotiations between Ukrainian and Polish insurgents in the village of Ruda Różaniecka, Lublin region. 21 May 1945.
On 21 May 1945, negotiations were held in the village of Ruda Różaniecka between representatives of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) and former members of the Polish Home Army (Armia Krajowa, AK). The talks resulted in a number of agreements on joint operations against Soviet forces.
According to the Polish historian Grzegorz Motyka, the partial shift in the policy of the Ukrainian nationalist movement toward the Polish population occurred because, by that time, the Poles had already largely left the Eastern Borderlands (Kresy).
