@PolishNational1@SillyWalksMstry@arestovych Ты, как всякий поляк, с Испании, где за 22-23 года смелые польские воЕны скупили всю недвижимость до 120000€, пишешь? Или в Перемышле в окопе на границе сидишь?
This is is Volodymyr Karatash an UPA partisan. He fought battles in Haysyn, Uman, Blagovishchenske, and Golovanivsk against both the nazis and the soviets. In 1949 he was arrested by SMERSH. In 1951 he was sent to Siberian prison camp Vologda, where everyday from dawn to dusk he loudly recited poems by Shevchenko, Franko, and Ukrainka. When transferred to a Kazakhstan prison, in 1954 he participated in the Kenghir prison uprising. He was released in 1956.
This is Khasman Mandyk Zhysi. Callsign "Malyi".
He was a Jewish soldier in UPA. During World War II the nazis killed his mother, brother, and sister. He was sent to a ghetto. Instead of giving up in 1943 at the age of 14 he joined UPA.
He fought against the nazis in 1943-1944 to avenge his family. He attacked German strongholds, conducted ambushes, and destroyed German communications.
In 1944 he defended Ukrainian civilians in Khlom from murder by the AK.
In 1945 he 1945 along with several other UPA partisans in Zavydiv and Samovol, valiantly defeated the NKVD.
He was captured by the soviets. Tortured. But survived.
He died August 24, 2013. His last words ""You will gain the Ukrainian state or die in the struggle for it"
This is why Ukrainians support UPA. Because UPA fought and defended Ukrainian freedom from its oppressors.
Stop pretending that UPA only existed in 1943. UPA fought from 1942-1960. Their history has not been properly told.
First, Ukraine does not have a single loan agreement with Poland, so your demand to "pay interest on our loan" exists only in your imagination.
Second, Poland did not pay for everything entirely out of its own pocket. A significant part of the military aid provided to Ukraine has been or is expected to be compensated through EU mechanisms.
Third, Ukrainians have thanked Poland countless times for its help.
But helping your neighbour during the greatest tragedy in its modern history and then demanding everything back with interest is neither solidarity nor generosity. It is simply low and ugly.
And I sincerely hope that the EU will never speak to Poland in the same tone and demand back every euro of subsidies and assistance it has provided to Poland over the years.
As for the rest of your comment, I suggest you separate facts from fantasies first. At the moment, you seem to be arguing almost entirely with the latter.
And one genuine question: why do some Poles, much like some Russians, start swearing every other word the moment they feel they are losing an argument?
It means that after today's attacks, people on the occupied peninsula suddenly discovered that fuel shortages, power outages and war are much less enjoyable than TV propaganda suggested. And because the Kerch Bridge is the only quick escape route, the queue is heading out of Crimea, not into it.
No, President Zelensky did not insult the entire Polish society. Returning an award after it had been turned into a tool of domestic political messaging is a political gesture, not an insult to millions of Poles.
And if an award can be given by one president and effectively stripped of its meaning by another because of political circumstances, then perhaps the problem is not with the recipient.
The first batch of MiGs is probably the worst example you could have chosen. Those aircraft were transferred within broader EU and allied support programmes that envisaged compensation from the EU and assistance in replacing the donated equipment — assistance that Poland has already received almost in full.
Poland has indeed provided enormous support to Ukraine, and Ukrainians are grateful for it. But portraying Ukraine as a "spoiled child" because of the first batch of MiGs is simply propaganda disguised as an argument.
And yes, do you happen to have even bigger emojis?
@ludmilamarkovna@SvobodaRadio У кого не будет Starlink? У ЕС? Вы правда считаете, что Европейский союз зависит от одного сервиса сильнее, чем США зависят от европейских рынков? Вы смешной.
И да, своё панибратское «тыкание» оставьте для односельчан где-нибудь в селе за Уралом. До свидания.
You can keep saying "No." Political reality works differently.
One of the EU's largest net recipients of financial support is hardly in a position to pretend that Brussels has no leverage over it. Poland is not an insurmountable obstacle, and if the major EU states decide that Ukraine belongs in the EU, Warsaw will eventually adapt to that reality.
And what about Przemyśl? It was one of the major cities of Kievan Rus' and the capital of the Principality of Przemyśl long before modern Poland and Ukraine even existed. For centuries, it was inhabited and developed by Ruthenians (Ukrainians), Poles, Jews, Armenians and others.
The very fact that the city has had its East Slavic name, Peremyshl, for centuries should already tell you that its history is more complex than modern nationalist narratives.
History is usually far more complex than slogans about who supposedly "built" or "owns" everything. Perhaps you shouldn't have skipped your history classes.
Seriously? Lviv was founded in the 13th century by King Danylo of Galicia and named after his son Lev — long before Poland gained control over the city. Over the centuries, Lviv was developed by Ruthenians (Ukrainians), Poles, Armenians, Jews, Austrians and many others. No single nation can honestly claim that it "built" Lviv by itself.
Moreover, much of the architecture and infrastructure that people associate with modern Lviv today was built during the Austro-Hungarian period.
Next time, try opening a history book before lecturing others about history.
@NikolayS7435643@dw_russian This is exactly the kind of nonsense people come up with when they confuse race, nationality, ethnicity, and citizenship. Learn the difference first.
Let me help you if you don't know how to use Google.
Since 1997, Ukrainian presidents and senior state officials have repeatedly made reconciliation gestures toward Poland: Kuchma (1997, 2003), Yushchenko (2006–2007), Kravchuk and Yushchenko (a letter of apology and reconciliation in 2016), Poroshenko (his symbolic gesture in Warsaw in 2016), and Zelenskyy and Stefanchuk (2023).
For nearly 30 years, Ukraine has consistently spoken about remembrance, reconciliation, and the principle of "we forgive and ask for forgiveness."
I think you missed the point. If an award depends on the current political climate, it stops being an honour and becomes a political token.
Unfortunately, many of the replies are the same old slogans: "Bandera, UPA, Hitler..." followed by insults. It's strangely reminiscent of Russian discussions and their ritual "eight years of bombing Donbas" mantra.
Trump publicly fighting with a woman is already embarrassing for a leader of his stature.
Doing it with an Italian woman? Big mistake. You don’t mess with Italian women and expect to come out on top.
Every smart man who knows us knows this. 🇮🇹
Meloni’s response:
“As for my popularity, being your friend certainly has not helped it, nor does it depend on my relationship with you.
My popularity depends on my ability to defend Italy’s national interest, and that is exactly what I have always done.
Italy remains a sovereign nation.
In any case, my popularity is none of your concern. I suggest you focus on yours.”

Trump lost this one.
