The insurgent army is recorded as having killed around 100,000 Polish civilians in documented actions during the conflict. The decision follows Ukraine's naming of the unit. Polish officials cited the historical record of the insurgent army's actions against Polish civilians in the eastern border regions during the 1940s.
The insurgent army's operations in the 1940s included attacks on Polish civilian populations, according to historical documentation referenced by Polish authorities. These events occurred in areas that were then part of Poland's eastern territories.
