Armia Krajowa
The Armia Krajowa (Home Army) was the main Polish resistance movement during the Second World War, formed in 1942 from a merger of earlier underground organizations. It was subordinate to the Polish government-in-exile and operated against the German occupation of Poland, carrying out intelligence, sabotage and partisan actions. After the war, units that did not recognise the Soviet-backed communist authorities fought against the new Polish security forces. The organization was formally disbanded in January 1945, though some of its structures continued to operate for several years afterward.

A Ukrainian search expedition discovered approximately 30 sets of human remains at an Orthodox cemetery in the village of Laskiv in Poland's Lublin Voivodeship. The remains are identified as Ukrainians killed in a March 1944 attack by units of the Home Army (Armia Krajowa) and Peasant Battalions (Bataliony Chłopskie). The dig was commissioned by the Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance and carried out by the communal enterprise 'Dolya' under a Polish permit issued in August 2026.
