@BolbochanynP @sumlenny Archiwalia OUN/UPA potwierdzają służbę Szuchewycza w Nachtigall i Schutzmannschaft 201 oraz rolę UPA w masowych mordach Polaków na Wołyniu i w Galicji Wschodniej (dziesiątki tysięcy ofiar, Motyka szacuje 50-100 tys. w tych terenach). Rozkazy czystek etnicznych są udokumentowane.

@igorsushko @sumlenny This was not a prior agreement to divide another sovereign state, because Ukraine did not exist as a state before the Riga Treaty and Ukrainians themselves were divided - the Soviet Ukrainians were rather happy with the outcome.

[SPK @StowPrawKon]

@igorsushko @sumlenny In 1920, Poland allied with Petliura, supporting Ukrainian independence. Then the Polish–Soviet War followed, which militarily and economically exhausted Poland and ended in 1921 with the Treaty of Riga with Soviet Russia and Soviet Ukraine.

[Krzysztof Wojczal @KWojczal]

Przestańmy robić z siebie ofiarę! Jesteśmy geopolitycznym gigachadem:
1⃣ Wykorzystaliśmy sytuację, w której nasz wróg zaatakował niespecjalne przychylne nam państwo i daliśmy broń temu drugiemu. Wyniszczają się już 4 lata.
2⃣ W latach 2022-2023 przekonaliśmy cały Zachód do tego, by wziął na siebie koszty obrony Ukrainy.
3⃣ Na 2026 rok stan jest taki, że pewnie ponad 95% kosztów wojny po stronie ukraińskiej pokrywają państwa trzecie.
4⃣ W tym czasie Polska dokonuje największej transformacji Sił Zbrojnych w swojej historii (przy okazji nabywając najbardziej zaawansowane technologie, w tym kosmiczne).
5⃣ Polska po raz pierwszy w historii załatwiła sobie obecność NATO na własnym terytorium.
6⃣ Polska trafiła do pierwszej ligi NATO i powoli, systematycznie buduje regionalne współprace.
7⃣ Wojna na Ukrainie osłabia praktycznie cały wschód (Rosja, Ukraina ale i Białoruś). Rozwojowo przeskoczyliśmy ich o kilka długości. Odnosimy gospodarcze benefity z imigracji, a i od nas zależy jak umiejętnie zarządzimy kwestiami społecznymi.

Gdyby sytuację geopolityczną analizowałby ukraiński towarzysz Grigori Braun, to stwierdziłby, że wojna to lacki spisek, który realizowany jest przez będących na polskich usługach Zełeńskiego i Putina , którzy wdrażają warszawską agendę zbudowania rzeczpospolitej od rzeki Odry po Władywostok.

Brody do góry, piersi do przodu. Rządzimy tą przestrzenią, a dobrze by było, by chociaż inni tak myśleli. Perspektywę zewnętrznych graczy o naszej przesadzonej sprawczości można dobrze monetyzować. Wiedzą o tym w pewnym niewielkim państwie na Bliskim Wschodzie.

Ukrainian Collaboration with the Third Reich and Participation in the Murder of Polish Jews

Hans Frank, the “ruler” of the General Government, the German-occupied part of Poland not directly annexed by the Third Reich, said in March 1940: “We have falcons at hand who will not spare Poles.” This was how he justified his support for Ukrainian nationalists developing their activities in occupied Poland. The Germans wanted to use Ukrainian collaborators for their own purposes. To the disappointment of Ukrainian nationalists, they ruled out the establishment in Ukraine of any form of Ukrainian state subordinated to them.

Even before the outbreak of the Second World War, Ukrainian nationalists’ hopes for cooperation with Germany had been disappointed twice. Despite intelligence cooperation with the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, the Germans did not support attempts to separate independent Transcarpathia, the so-called Carpathian Ukraine, from Czechoslovakia, and in September 1939 they ignored Ukrainian attempts to establish a similar entity between the San and the Zbruch rivers. These lands of the Second Polish Republic were to fall to the ally of the Third Reich, the Soviet Union. Nevertheless, as relations between the two totalitarian powers deteriorated, the Ukrainian nationalist movement did not abandon cooperation. “I am convinced that Your Excellency, standing on the ground of national principles, will support our national struggle,” wrote Volodymyr Stakhiv, an associate of Stepan Bandera, in a memorandum to Adolf Hitler.

As early as June 1941, together with German troops, the armed, trained and directly German-commanded Sondergruppe Nachtigall battalion entered Lwów. The deputy to the German commander of the battalion was Roman Shukhevych, later commander-in-chief of the UPA. After taking control of key points in the city and proclaiming the independence of Ukraine, the nationalists, including members of Nachtigall, with the consent of German commanders, began murdering and robbing the city’s Jewish inhabitants. The following weeks and months were filled with brutal massacres described in nationalist propaganda as the “Ukrainian National Revolution”. At rallies organised with German consent in successive cities and villages of Ukraine, oaths of loyalty were sworn to the “leader” of the new Ukraine and to the German allies.

The Germans supported the criminal activities of the OUN, but reacted with fury to the unilateral proclamation of a Ukrainian government. Their plans did not include the creation of an independent state or an autonomous Ukrainian army, apart from auxiliary and police formations subordinated to them, such as the Ukrainische Hilfspolizei and Schutzmannschaft battalions, known for mass murders of Poles and Jews.

Bandera and his closest associates were interned in a special section of the Sachsenhausen concentration camp. Until the end of the war, in talks with the Germans, he repeatedly renewed offers of cooperation. On 28 April 1943, by decision of the SS command, the 14th Grenadier Division of the SS, composed of Ukrainians and known as SS Galizien or “Halychyna”, was established. Bandera’s supporters did not endorse this decision, but at the same time they sent a group of trusted people into the division. As the situation on the front became increasingly difficult for the Germans, the possibility of obtaining fanatical volunteers to fight the Soviets was priceless. “The influx of volunteers is so great that both the division and the reserves are already overfilled,” noted Otto Wächter, governor of the District of Galicia. These enthusiastic volunteers suffered crushing defeats in clashes with Soviet troops, but they also entered the darkest pages of history, including through the massacre of around 1,000 Poles in Huta Pieniacka in February 1944.

The SS Galizien Division remained loyal to the collapsing Third Reich until its capitulation. The last collaborators laid down their arms before British and American troops on 10 May 1945. Despite the crimes committed and the recognition by the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg of the SS as a criminal organisation, among Ukrainian émigré circles the veterans of SS Galizien became heroes of the struggle for an independent Ukraine.

After 1991, commemorating SS “Galizien” and other collaborationist formations gradually became an important element of Ukraine’s historical policy. On 2 May 2026, ceremonies marking the anniversary of the formation of SS “Galizien” were held in Lviv. They began at the monument to Stepan Bandera. In 2022, the Ukrainian Supreme Court ruled that the SS “Galizien” symbol is not a Nazi symbol and does not promote totalitarianism.

The Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) is responsible for the genocide in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia.

By decision of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the Independent Special Operations Center “North” will be named in honour of the “Heroes of the UPA.” The granting of this name was justified as an effort to “restore the historical traditions of the national army.”

The Ukrainian authorities’ promotion of the cult of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army must provoke opposition from all those who remember the activities of this formation.

Founded in 1942, the UPA was based on the ideological foundation of the so-called “Decalogue of the Ukrainian Nationalist” from 1929, which includes, among others, the following statement: “You will not hesitate to commit even the greatest crime if the good of the cause demands it.”

This was a prophetic announcement of the genocide committed against Poles in the years 1943–1945 in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia.

The Volhynia Massacre was a method of building an ethnically homogeneous Ukrainian state, one devoid of the minorities inhabiting those lands, mainly Poles and Jews. “With the beginning of military operations for independence,” declared one of the program documents of the OUN faction led by Stepan Bandera, “the question of national minorities must be resolved at all costs. To resolve this issue, representatives of national minorities, enemies of the people, must be eliminated.”

Organised attacks on Polish villages began in February 1943 and continued until 1945. The peak of the UPA atrocities came on Sunday, July 11, 1943, when thousands of inhabitants were massacred in nearly 100 Polish villages in Volhynia.

In the following months, the genocide carried out by the UPA in Volhynia also spread to Eastern Galicia, the Chełm region, and the Rzeszów region. “You observe the methods of operation in Volhynia - do the same in your own area. You will prevail. [...] The OUN-UPA must have authority among the masses.

The masses must believe in you and follow you. If someone does not wish to believe in the UPA, in you, and in the leadership, they must feel the hard and vengeful punishing hand,” stated an appeal addressed to UPA members in the Chełm region in the spring of 1944.

Polish historians estimate that approximately 120,000 Poles - including women, the elderly, and children - were killed at the hands of Ukrainian nationalists. Victims also included Ukrainians who warned their Polish neighbours of the approaching danger.
