Fragment of the report of the interrogation of the commander of the UPA „Turiw” Group Yuri Stelmashchuk „Rudy” (of February 28, 1945), in which the „hero” confesses:
„  […] In August 1943, together with  […] the UPA I have slaughtered over 15,000 Poles in the Kovel, Siedliszcze, Maciejów and Lubomelski regions of the Volhynia Oblast”.
It was, as Stelmaszczuk said, the implementation of the „directive of the Central Provid [Leadership] of the OUN, on the general physical elimination of the entire Polish population living in the western oblasts of Ukraine”, submitted to him in June 1943.
