"Польща кинулася, як гієна, щоб урвати свою частку в пограбуванні та знищенні Чехословацької держави", так Черчилль описував дії Варшави восени 1938-го, коли та разом із Гітлером розділила Чехословаччину.
Жорстока, але точна метафора недалекоглядної геополітики.
What do Polish nationalists have to complain about Ukrainians:
1) Ukraine and Poland have made numerous gestures and signed many joint documents on reconciliation since the 1990s.
2) Ukrainians have condemned the killings of Poles in Volyn in 1943. Poles have condemned the ethnic cleansing of Ukrainians in 1947.
3) Pope John Paul II visited Ukraine in 2001 and called for reconciliation between Poles and Ukrainians.
4) Since the 1970s numerous academic seminars and conferences have discussed and published about Polish-Ukrainian conflicts.
5) Ukraine has given Poland permission to undertake exhumations in Volyn. The difficulty of finding killed Poles should be blamed on the Soviet regime which ruled western Ukraine from the 1940s to 1991 - not on independent Ukraine.
6) Poland has never given permission to bury Ukrainian nationalists. Ukraine has given permission to honour Polish patriots who fought against Ukraine in 1918 and are buried in the Lviv Cemetery of Eaglets (Cmentarz Orląt).
7) Poland refuses to grant the right of the graves of killed Ukrainian civilians to have inscriptions of who murdered them (i.e., Polish nationalist partisans).
6) Ukrainians have not issued demands for corrections in Polish memory politics, which they could:
a) AK (Home Army) is viewed as a criminal organisation by Ukraine and Lithuania because it murdered Ukrainian and Lithuanian civilians.
b) Polish nationalist partisans murdered Ukrainian civilians but are glorified as "cursed soldiers" in Poland.
c) Roman Dmowski is a hero in Poland and yet he was a fascist anti-semite and denied the existence of Ukrainians.
7) Poland has demanded corrections in Ukrainian memory politics, specifically on S. Bandera. And yet he was imprisoned in 1941-1944 in the Nazi Sachsenhausen concentration camp. Bandera therefore could not have anything to do with the killings of Poles in Volyn. Bandera's 2 brothers were killed in Auschwitz.
8) No Ukrainians deny that the UPA killed Poles.
9) Polish academics, state officials and the Polish Institute of National Remembrance deny Poles killed Ukrainians. They claim these killings were merely "Akcje odwetowe" (reprisal actions), thus justifying the killings by not placing them on an equal level.
Will somebody therefore please explain to me why Nawrocki and Polish nationalists continue to be anti-Ukrainian?
💡 Did you know?
1920: Poland formed a military-economic alliance with Ukrainians.
20,000 Ukrainians defended Poland alongside Poles against the Bolsheviks and won.
1921: Poland signed a pact with the Bolsheviks, arrested those Ukrainians, and invaded Ukraine, annexing Volhynia.
У Пужниках завершився черговий етап пошукових робіт. Масової могили не знайшли.
І польська міністерка культури Марта Ченковська назвала це «важкою новиною».
Тобто не знайти братську могилу з убитими людьми — це, виявляється, важка новина для них.
Пошуки, ексгумації, ідентифікація загиблих — це нормальна і потрібна робота. Але коли відсутність нової масової могили подається майже як прикрість, то це вже не про памʼять.
Нагадаю, що подібний випадок не перший. У вересні 2025 року в селі Садове на Тернопільщині ексгумаційні роботи виявили поховання 42 жертв трагедії. У квітні 2026 року в селах Воля та Острівки були виявлені окремі випадки поховань, а в березні 2026 року в селі Угли в місцях, де поляки стверджували, що мали бути масові поховання, взагалі не було виявлено жодної жертви трагедії.
Why so many Ukrainians speak russian? Let me explain.
But first, let me ask you a question: Why do Irish and Scotts speak English, Catalans and Basques speak Spanish, Bretons speak French, etc. You probably know the short answer. But let me put a longer one. Ukrainian language was banned by russia 134 times! Here are most notable events:
1720: A decree by Tsar Peter I banned the printing of books in Ukraine.
1753: A decree by Catherine II prohibited teaching in the Ukrainian language.
1768: A decree from the Synod of the russian Orthodox Church called for the confiscation of Ukrainian primers from the population.
1775: Closure of Ukrainian schools after russian troops destroyed the Zaporizhian Sich.
1830-1840s: russification of Ukraine intensified. Even the very name "Ukraine" was prohibited to be used.
1889: At an archaeological congress in Kyiv, it was permitted to read papers "in all languages except Ukrainian."
1895: A ban on Ukrainian children's literature.
1914: A ban on the Ukrainian press.
1938: Mandatory study of the russian language was introduced throughout Ukraine. At the same time, there was a mass closure of national schools, and the prestige of the Ukrainian language declined.
1926-1939: Physical deportations of Ukrainian activists accused of nationalism. Four family members on my mother’s side were deported.
1929: Newly printed dictionary of Ukrainian was prohibited.
1960s: Arrests and extermination of the young generation of Ukrainian intelligentsia.
130 years ago, Ukrainian-speaking area was not limited by Ukraine, but also some parts of russia and Belarus spoke it (see the red area, that's the result of russian Empire census in 1897, when people identified themselves by the language). So, when someone says that some region of Ukraine is “russian speaking”, read the above list again. It’s a miracle that Ukrainian language even survived, and many people sacrificed their lives for it.
В черговий раз під час пошукових робіт масового поховання поляків не знайшли. Це доводить те що заявлена цифра у "100 тис. вбитих поляків" це вигаданий міф. Давайте будувати історію на фактах.
@boom__lay Цікаво буде пiдрахувати кількість сіл, де і міфічні 100.000 могли б жити. Підрахувати офіційну кількість людей до та після "різні". Бо скоріш за все ляхи додали 3 нулі.Або 4. А то й всі 5.
For those who believe russia’s vast size is somehow natural — just look at this map.
It screams continual colonization and the destruction of entire ethnic groups. Today, over 65 languages in russia are endangered, and hundreds more have already disappeared. And the process was even more brutal than in the Americas, where over 90% of Indigenous people were wiped out by Eurasian diseases. In russia’s case, the Moskovians had to kill manually — with steel — because unlike in the Americas, the local populations had immunity to those diseases.
Most of Ukraine fell under their occupation only in the 1800s. Before 1600, they controlled only a small part of it. So if someone tells you that “Ukraine is historically russian,” show them this map. It’s not. Just like Finland, Poland, and many other countries — Ukraine was never inherently russian. It was simply conquered, like the rest.
This empire stops expanding only when it’s stopped by force. Not by negotiations, kind words, or “understanding” the Kremlin’s grievances. They wage war simply because they can — not because they were “provoked” by NATO, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, or whatever monster they imagine under their beds. That’s been their nature for over six centuries. And they won’t change.

No, this photo is not Ukraine. This Is Chechnya. In 1999, the capital Grozny was destroyed by the Russians. But 3 years earlier, Russia signed a peace treaty with the Chechens. They had lost the war and needed a pause. Only to go back and kill up to 300,000 Chechens, 25% of the entire small but proud nation that wanted freedom.
This is how peace talks with Russia always end. That is why Ukraine does not want them until they leave our land. That's why we're asking for guns.
By the way, the 1st Chechen President Dzhokhar Dudayev was killed by a Russian rocket during telephone conversations on April 21, 1996. They calculated his whereabouts and killed him, pretending to negotiate. And in 1995, he said in an interview: "Russia will eventually face Ukraine. Russia will fall when the sun of Ukrainian freedom rises." He knew that 28 years ago.
Россия получила ядерное оружие Украины под гарантии не нарушать суверенитет. Теперь Россия оккупирует земли Украины и угрожает ядерным оружием.
Более подлой и уебищной страны, чем Россия, более подлого и уебищного народа, чем русский, который это поддерживает, не знала история.
@vadfred Peel, devein, marinate 15 min. (soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce (few drops), olive oil garlic). Drain. Baking sheet —> parchment paper. Lay shrimps in single layer. Bake in oven at 425F for 16 min. Rotate baking sheet halfway during baking.
„Ich habe das getan. Es ging nicht anders.“ Der russische Duma-Abgeordnete und General Andrej Gurulew gestand im Fernsehen, dass russische Truppen 2014 im Donbass Zivilisten töteten – auf seinen Befehl. Eine Frau und ein Kind. Damals, als Moskau noch schwor, dort stehe kein einziger russischer Soldat.
Das Geständnis zertrümmert gleich zwei Lebenslügen auf einmal: Es räumt die Morde ein. Und es beweist nebenbei, dass schon 2014 reguläre russische Verbände im Donbass kämpften – unter Moskauer Kommando. Dieser Krieg läuft nicht erst seit 2022. Er läuft seit zwölf Jahren.
Im selben Interview forderte Gurulew, Kyjiw so zu treffen, dass es „kein Wasser, keinen Strom, keine Kanalisation – nichts“ mehr gibt. Ein brutales Kriegsverbrechen, angekündigt ins Mikrofon, zur besten Sendezeit.
Und was machen jene Stimmen von AfD und BSW, die seit Jahren das Narrativ bedienen, die Ukrainer hätten den Krieg begonnen, als sie „das eigene, wehrlose russischsprachige Volk“ beschossen? Denen entgegnet nun ein russischer General: Nein. Wir waren das. Ich war das. Auf meinen Befehl.
Umstimmen wird sie das freilich nicht. Ihr Problem war nie ein Mangel an Beweisen, sondern ein Übermaß an Loyalität. Dieses Geständnis kommt für sie einfach vom falschen Mann.
Dabei fügt sich Gurulew nur in eine Reihe der Selbstenthüllungen. Igor Strelkow/Girkin erklärte schon im November 2014 der Zeitung Sawtra wörtlich: „Den Auslöser des Krieges habe ich gedrückt.“ Er brüstete sich damit, dass der gesamte Konflikt im Donbass ohne seine Einheit, die im April 2014 die Grenze überschritt und Slowjansk besetzte, nie in Gang gekommen wäre. Es wäre ausgegangen wie in Charkiw: ein paar Demonstrationen, dann Ruhe.
Jewgeni Prigoschin legte im Juni 2023, kurz vor seiner Meuterei, nach: Die offiziellen Kriegsgründe für die Invasion seien Lügen, von einer Bedrohung durch die Ukraine oder die NATO keine Spur. Der Krieg diene nur den Interessen der Eliten – und den Donbass-Konflikt habe man 2014 selbst angezettelt.
Gurulew ist kein Ausreißer. Er steht in einer zynischen Tradition: Alle paar Jahre setzt sich einer der Täter hin und packt aus. Freiwillig, ausführlich, vor laufender Kamera. Strelkow 2014, Prigoschin 2023, Gurulew 2026.
Russland entlarvt sich selbst – täglich, ungeniert, im Abendprogramm. Man müsste nur hinhören. Aber genau das war von den Apologeten hierzulande nie der Plan.
