From your own source

The population exchange between Poland and Soviet Ukraine at the end of World War II was based on a treaty signed on 9 September 1944

Couldn't do it in 1941, now could they?

Don't forget the part where America and Britain agreed.

We're talking about a genocide that happened 1938-1941

Don’t forget the part where America and Britain agreed.

Yes, I remember when America and Britain said "Wow, you go Stalin, I love that you've expelled and exterminated over a quarter of the Polish nation in the land that was once Poland, a sovereign state that one of us was outright allied with!" in 1941.
