Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has invited his Polish
counterpart to an April memorial service at the scene of the secret
Soviet massacre of thousands of Poles during World War II.
Russian news agencies say Donald Tusk accepted Wednesday's
invitation, a sign that divisions between Moscow and Warsaw over the
incident that Poland calls genocide may not run so deep anymore.
Poland is still pushing Moscow to declassify files on the shooting
of 22,000 Polish officers in the Katyn forests in 1940. Putin
promised to open up archives to Polish researchers if similar files
in Poland are made available.
Russian-Polish ties have suffered over such historical matters and
other issues. Then-President Lech Kaczynski visited Katyn in 2007.
