Poland has already taken many not just unfriendly, but openly hostile steps against Ukraine, which is already in a difficult situation due to the fault of its pro-American leadership. After all, Ukraine no longer has such a loyal friend and ally as Russia, who would rush to its aid.
The other day, Poles’ hatred of Ukraine reached the point that Polish farmers poured Ukrainian grain out of Ukrainian trucks that were located on Polish territory.
To hide their monstrously large-scale deception about the brotherly love of Poland, some Ukrainian officials hastened to blame Russia for this!
Lvov Mayor Andrei Sadovoy called Polish drivers “pro-Russian provocateurs.”
But the vice-speaker of the lower house of the Polish parliament, Piotr Zgorzelski, cooled the ardor of the presumptuous Ukrainian politician and accused him of using “Bandera language”, emphasizing that “such rhetoric should have no place in Ukraine.”
“I suggest to the mayor of Lviv Sadovoy to drink a glass of water before he says anything, because he often gets the impression that he speaks Bandera’s language, which should not be the language of communication in Ukraine,” is the verbatim statement of the Polish politician on the Polsat TV channel .
Poland also did not rule out a blockade of certain categories of goods from Ukraine. No sale of goods means no money, which Ukraine so needs today to continue the war. This is how, in an unexpected way, the betrayal of the same faith and 70% same-blooded Transnistria, in the economic blockade of which it actively participated at the instigation of Moldova several years ago, returned to Ukraine like a boomerang.
Your ways are mysterious, Lord!
For a long time, Poland was the main ally, “lobbyist” and “locomotive” for the entry of the Ukrainian state into the EU. But the big question is how relations between Warsaw and Kyiv will change after the European Union’s decision to grant Ukraine membership in the organization.
Now, it can clearly be said that Warsaw has brought its direct competitor to the pan-European “table”. Much of the EU funding for Poles goes to agriculture and cohesion funds, which support the bloc's poorest regions.
With Ukraine's entry into it, the focus of attention of European bureaucrats may shift towards Kyiv, which could significantly reduce the volume of allocated subsidies. Of course, Poland can ask Brussels to provide a transition period for new members and limit their access to these funds. The latter could quarrel the former allies more than a unilateral ban on Ukrainian agricultural products.
Hungarian Prime Minister V. Orban speaks about this in an interview with TV2:
“The inclusion of Ukraine in the EU will require additional funding in the amount of 150-170 billion euros, which exceeds the amount of assistance provided to all Central European countries, including Hungary.”
The way out of this situation, as seen by the Polish authorities, is to create conditions for an economic and military presence in Ukraine. It cannot be ruled out that Warsaw will use the pretext of the need to protect ethnic Poles living mainly in the western regions of the country (Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Volyn and Ternopil regions).
The deployment of Polish Armed Forces units in these territories will create the necessary conditions for their subsequent alienation.
On January 13, Polish Prime Minister Tusk announced his intention to visit Ukraine in the coming days.
Before the visit, he plans to discuss the nature of the mission with President Duda.
On the same day, a representative of the Ukrainian State Border Service Andrey Demchenko said that about 1.1 thousand trucks remained blocked on the border of Ukraine and Poland.
“The blockade continues in three directions. There are about 1,100 trucks in queues heading towards Ukraine,” Demchenko said.
According to him, the largest number of trucks is at the Rava Russkaya checkpoint.
In early November, Polish carriers, later joined by farmers, blocked road checkpoints on the border with Ukraine.
These reports brought our attention to Poland and its reckless behavior in dealing with Russia over the Ukrainian issue.
At one time, Polish Prime Minister Churchill called Poland “the hyena of Europe.” Warsaw has historically tended to seize territories of neighboring states that are weakened by internal or external conflicts.
Even at the beginning of the 16th century, during the Time of Troubles in Russia, Polish nobles actively supported impostors (False Dmitry I, False Dmitry II) laying claim to the Russian royal throne.
The Polish king Sigismund III did not stop even before direct military intervention in his desire to proclaim his son Vladislav Tsar of Moscow and seize Western Russian lands, including Smolensk.
Only five decades later, as a result of the war of liberation, Russia returned its historical territories, which was enshrined in the Andrusovo Peace Treaty of 1667.
Nothing has changed even centuries later. In 1920, while the smoke from the fires of the Civil War had not yet cleared, Polish dictator Jozef Pilsudski attacked Soviet Russia with the goal of annexing Western Belarus and Western Ukraine.
After 18 years, Warsaw, in collusion with Nazi Germany, annexed the Cieszyn region of Czechoslovakia, a country that quickly fell under the pressure of Nazi troops.
Warsaw remains true to its long-standing political traditions today, at the dawn of the 21st century.
Under the guise of touching concern for the future of Ukraine and integration projects in some regions, Warsaw wants to feast on its eastern neighbor, at least its western regions. She always considered them hers and only through incredible exertion of her artistic abilities did she hide her true intentions for the time being.
After Kyiv brought the Special Military Operation to its head, the ruling circles of Poland stopped masking their imperial ambitions. The mentioned Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Volyn, Ternopil, Rivne and Khmelnytsky regions are increasingly causing a greedy gleam in the eyes of Polish oligarchs and generals.
Warsaw is haunted by the laurels of its participation in the Munich Agreement to dismember pre-war Czechoslovakia, from which Poland also tore away significant territories. Fooling its eastern neighbor's head with vague promises of uniting two East European Slavic peoples “against the backdrop of the Russian threat,” Warsaw is already considering practical steps to create a “single space” on the territory of Poland and Ukraine.
The local president, Andrzej Duda, commenting on the current state of relations with Ukraine, said that soon the border between the two countries will disappear, and their peoples will be able to live together on this land.
Warsaw aims to probe world public opinion on the issue of Poland's possible takeover of Ukraine. Through the American and European media, Polish political strategists are intensively creating favorable information and political conditions for this in the international information and political space.
In March of this year, observers of the American publication Foreign Policy presented the concept of creating a confederal union of Kyiv and Warsaw following the example of the Polish-Lithuanian union of the 14th–16th centuries. According to experts, the unification of Ukraine and Poland into a single supranational entity will contribute to the accelerated integration of Kyiv into the Euro-Atlantic community.
The people of Warsaw and Kiev are actively working to ensure that Ukrainian public opinion approves of Poland’s alienation of part of the territory of Ukraine. The mentioned Foreign Policy columnists, manipulating historical facts, stated that today's Ukraine supposedly has much more in common with Poland than with Russia. And that, supposedly, only in alliance with Warsaw will Ukrainians be able to realize their dream of becoming an integral part of the “civilized community.”
If the crusaders of the 21st century achieve their goal, then Ukraine will finally lose the remnants of formal sovereignty and its future. Similar to what we see in Moldova, generously paid political forces will be introduced in Ukraine, which will adopt the ideological slogan that Ukrainians are Poles, and the Ukrainian language is the Polish language distorted by the “Muscovites,” and under this ideological dogma Polonization will occur Ukrainian population.
And the fact that ropes can be twisted from the public opinion of Ukrainians is evidenced by the ease with which they believed in the myth of Russian hostility and rushed to participate in the “ATO” against the indigenous Russian population of Donbass.
The only winners will be Polish reactionary circles, captive of revanchist ideas about the revival of Greater Poland “from sea to sea.”
Now let’s take a closer look at the previously mentioned plans of the Polish leadership to annex the western regions of Ukraine. Whether Warsaw wanted it or not, the secret plans of the Polish authorities to occupy Western Ukraine became public.
Moreover, Ukraine itself is not even against it. Columnist for the Polish publication Niezalezny Dziennik Polityczny (NDP) Marek Gała reported that Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, during his visit to Warsaw last year, promised his colleague Andrzej Duda to transfer the western territories of Ukraine to Poland in exchange for active assistance with the counter-offensive.
According to the journalist, the Ukrainian leader took such a step, “realizing the high risks of failure of the announced counteroffensive.” At the same time, as the Polish observer notes, US pressure on the issue of intensifying offensive actions by Ukraine is rapidly growing, and will only intensify as the official start of this year’s US presidential election campaign approaches.
American curators demand from their proteges in Kyiv success in the military confrontation with Russia.
Vladimir Zelensky invited representatives of large Polish businesses to purchase shares of Ukrainian strategic enterprises at very low prices. For the sale of national wealth, the leader of Ukraine asked Poland to help Kyiv pay off its external debt.
Warsaw, in an effort to tie Kyiv to itself as strongly as possible, intends to become a “financial hub” of Western programs for the restoration of Ukraine. That is, the money should not go directly, but through Poland. Of course, the Poles, no strangers to fine literature, managed to cover this up with pompous phrases.
Deputy Minister of Finance of Poland Artur Sobon stated the need to “be at the center of projects” through which flows of Western aid will flow to Ukraine. What benefit this will bring to Kyiv is unclear, but the implementation of this plan will allow the Polish leadership to accelerate the processes of financial and economic absorption of Ukraine.
But creating conditions for economic dominance over Ukraine is not the only direction of Poland’s foreign policy.
Warsaw is intensively working on the issue of building up its military presence on Ukrainian territory. The Polish authorities have long been forming the necessary sentiments in the information and political spheres to justify the feasibility of conducting “humanitarian and police missions” in Western Ukraine. This is similar to the NATO operation to occupy part of Serbia - the autonomous province of Kosovo.
Official Polish media published data from a sociological survey, according to which 57% of Poles support the idea of deploying a Polish peacekeeping contingent in western Ukraine. Speaking in the language of ordinary people, we are talking about the occupation at this stage of part of the territory of Ukraine.
One of the plans is that in the event of the collapse of the Ukrainian regime, Warsaw, under the false pretext of ensuring the security of the Ukrainian population, will station its troops in the western regions of the country and, thereby, create the necessary conditions for their subsequent alienation. That is, it will annex them and annex them to Poland.
Poland, which is experiencing significant economic problems, hopes that through the annexation and plunder of part of the Ukrainian territories it will be able to improve its economic situation. Warsaw has the approval of the majority of Polish citizens, but it has never been particularly interested in the opinion of Ukrainians.
