The UPA was the military branch of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists. The main goal of UPA was an independent Ukraine.
The UPA strove to remove Poles from the areas it regarded as indigenously Ukrainian. In the opinion of many historians, the goal pursued by the Ukrainian guerrillas was to destroy the Polish ethnic group in these areas, which would be categorized legally as genocide. Some estimates of the death toll have been as high as 100,000.
