Excerpt from Ivan Jasejko's memoirs about the murders of Ukrainians in Budynin by various authorities of the Republic of Poland:
„Poles were often attacked together with the Russians. Young boys and even girls hid in hiding places, Abu did not fall into the hands of the tormentors. Andrij Kapeluś died at the hands of the Polish militia and the army near the cemetery. One time, the militia from Belz came to the village, and then ordered them to be driven back. One farmer drove them away, murdered them and took their horses. His wife found him for the third month in the forest near Stajami and moved him in her hands, but only the remains. The army killed Olhe Kapeluś in the yard. They ordered the horses to be given oats. She brought it and the other one fired and killed her. The militia also murdered Mykola Sałahub, Teodor Sydor, and Punia Kapelusia”.

The investigation into the crime of genocide committed in April 1944 in the village of Łachowce and other localities of the Lublin Province, involving the murder of about 60 people by Ukrainian nationalists who, by committing these acts, acted to destroy the Polish national group (S.81 / 08 / Zi). In the course of the ongoing preparatory proceedings, activities were carried out which allowed to establish that in the period between April 4 and April 9, 1944 in Radków, Ukrainian nationalists, in an unknown manner, most likely by firing at the injured or by using bayonets or other sharp tools, killed about 20 civilians of Polish nationality. It was found that in these circumstances the following deaths were killed: Katarzyna and Marcin spouses Ś., Wacław K., Justyna K., Jan Sz. with his wife and their daughter Helena, moreover people named G., Cz. and Sz., Stanisław K. with his daughter, Władysława N. with his mother, Zofia N. Moreover, on April 9, 1944 and on the following days in Łachowce and Budynin, the attackers similarly murdered about 40 people, including Julia J., Stefan J., Wiktoria B., Jadwiga B., Stanisław C., Franciszka C., Łukasz C., Marianna K., Katarzyna W., Franciszek Ś., Marian Ś., Stanisław N., Franciszek N., Franciszek K., Katarzyna K., Władysława K., Władysława G., a woman named Stefania, Franciszka K., Ksenia K., Tadeusz K., Marianna G., Irena G., Katarzyna S., Janina K., Bernadeta C., Marianna H., Irena H., Jan G. and Katarzyna G. The evidence did not allow for the identification of the responsibility of specific persons, which resulted in the necessity to discontinue the investigation into all acts against the failure to identify the perpetrators.

Myrosław Onyszkewycz „Orest Karat” gave the order: „I order you to purge your area immediately from the Polish element and Ukrainian–Bolshevik agents. The purge should be carried out in riverside hostels sparsely populated by Poles. To this end, create a militia near the area, composed of our members, whose task would be to eliminate the above–mentioned. Our larger hostels will be cleared of this element by our military units even in broad daylight  […] The clearing of the area must be completed before our Easter so that we can celebrate it without Poles. Remember that when the Bolsheviks find us with Poles in our territory, they will slaughter us all  […] Make a hard, ruthless fight with them. Not to spare anyone, even in mixed marriages. To take Lachs out of their houses, but The Ukrainians and children in these houses should not be liquidated  […] Get the gun. Death to the Poles. Stop, April 6, 1944. Glory to the heroes! Orest, Karat” This order is in the files of the investigation against Myroslav Onyshhevych.

September 29, 1946, [typescript] — Fragment of the protocol of interrogating a witness to the murder of Ukrainians in Budynin prepared by the clerk of 'Czumak' from the V region in the II Zakerzonya Region:
„On September 29, 1946, KOP and MO in the number of about 60 people they jumped on Budynin  […] Unexpectedly they caught one local man — Sydor Theodora, about 50 years old, whom they had been looking for a long time, but he always hid. They immediately escorted him to the cars and started beating him. They beat the face with rifle butts and kicked. His wife, crying, followed him, so they took her too, but then let her out. They were very stubborn on Sydor himself, not content with catching him, but wanted to kill him. To this end, they ordered him to flee. He refused, but as they started hitting him even harder, he started to run away. He ran remarkably fast for his age, and people wondered where he got so much strength. Now they started firing a machine gun and several rifles from one side after him, and the other machine gun was firing all the way from the village. Five with the commandant of MO from Bełz ran after him and also shot. The commander himself fired a pistol. The one at whom they were shooting managed to get away from the cars from 300 meters, but under such a hail of bullets his luck left him and, pierced by a whole series of machine guns, he fell. He took one bullet in the hand, two in the chest, in the genitals and in the leg. Nevertheless, he was still alive, because when they got to him, one more shot and the other would kick him in the pulse”.
