@ZelenskyyUa Hypocrite KAROL NAWROCKI wants a bigger piece of the Reconstruction pie once the killing is over in Ukraine. He'll whitewash centuries of Polish war crimes and exaggerate and lie about WW2 action in Ukraine.
Putin's stooge President Karol Nawrocki must have forgotten about Polish war crimes in WW2 against Ukrainians -- and he owes an apology to Taras Bulba Cossacks whom the Polish general betrayed and massacred in the 1962 United Artists movie "Taras Bulba" starring Yul Brynner and Tony Curtis.
Political grandstander Polish President KAROL NAWROCKI has selective amnesia over Polish war crimes committed in Poland and Ukraine -- while he accuses Ukrainians of killing Poles and inflates the death toll.
Forgotten barbarism: Between 1918 and 1919, Poles put 100,000 Ukrainian civilians in Polish concentration camps. 20,000 died of starvation, disease and torture.
🇵🇱 Why Poles Are Outraged by Zelenskyy’s Actions and Why This Enraged Ukrainians
As strange as it may sound, the issue lies in Russian propaganda. Russia became most active in 2022, and since then, it has been running anti-Ukrainian narratives through its assets in Poland. However, Poland laid the foundation for this with its own hands, as it officially recognized Ukrainian heroes as terrorists at the state level. By doing so, they fell into the trap of Russian propaganda and codified a Russian fake at the highest state level.
Furthermore, the occupation of Ukraine is presented in Poland as if it were not an occupation at all, but rather that Poland always owned Ukraine, framing our struggle for independence as internal rebellions or separatism. This is where all the problems stem from, because Ukraine was occupied by Poland and Russia immediately after the collapse of Rus. The Russians and the Poles refuse to acknowledge this, claiming that Ukraine is their territory and that Ukraine only came into existence in 1991...
🩸 Imperial Brutality: Stepan Bandera and the Truth About Lviv
But to understand the full complexity: the Poles, just like the Russians, were quite brutal and committed genocides on the territory of Ukraine. Poles tortured Ukrainians for centuries. For instance, Poles slaughtered the entire village of Stepan Bandera when he was a child, so it is no surprise why he held anti-Polish sentiments in his youth. It was Stepan Bandera who orchestrated the assassination of a Polish minister—which is a legitimate target during a war, and back then, no formal rules of war even existed. Bandera was arrested for this and served time in a Polish prison. Bandera never engaged in any other anti-Polish activity. In his adult life, he was a politician and spent the entirety of World War II trapped in a Nazi concentration camp, where, by the way, he became friends with a Pole who was imprisoned alongside him.
Regarding the events in Volyn—the Poles were occupiers in Volyn. They had settled there after previously wiping out Ukrainians. By the way, the Poles wiped out Ukrainians in Lviv as well; Ukrainians had always constituted the majority in Lviv, but by the beginning of World War II, Poles made up more than half of the city's population. To this day, there are no real facts about what actually happened in Volyn. According to the figures currently circulating, Poles mass-murdered civilian Ukrainians to the count of about 20,000, while Ukrainians (the Ukrainian Insurgent Army) killed 40,000 civilian Poles.
The main disputes center around who started it first. However, what raises major questions is that Russian NKVD troops were present there, dressing up in UPA uniforms and committing atrocities under the guise of the UPA. The UPA command denied involvement, but there is a theory that a local branch of Ukrainian insurgents independently decided to take revenge on the Poles or conduct an ethnic cleansing so that the Ukrainian population would once again predominate in Volyn.
Compounding this fact is that the Poles falsify data. Even Wikipedia notes the specific names of when and by whom the figures were artificially inflated to 100,000, and that the Poles counted the entire population as victims—including Ukrainians, the living, the dead, and those who had long left the region. Furthermore, just this year, during exhumation excavations conducted by the Poles, it turned out that many of the claimed burial and murder sites do not even exist. Consequently, the figure is dropping from 40,000 down to 20,000, and this is only the beginning of the investigation.
🛡️ The Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) and Personal Trauma
The Ukrainian Insurgent Army consisted of ordinary Ukrainians. In my own family, there were UPA fighters on my father's side, and my family suffered at the hands of the Poles (on my mother's side, Poles murdered my great-grandfather for absolutely no reason, and the entire family was deported to the Lviv region when my grandmother was still a child, stripping them of their home and property because Russia handed this Ukrainian region over to Poland).
The UPA fought against all occupiers on our land: Russia, Germany, and Poland. The UPA never collaborated with the Nazis; they fought against them at the exact same time when Poland was collaborating with both the Nazis and the Russians (Hitler personally attended Pilsudski's funeral, and Poland betrayed Ukraine, aligning with Russia to attack us in an alliance). Bandera had absolutely nothing to do with any UPA actions ever—the UPA was led by Shukhevych. By the way, after all these events, the UPA made peace with Poland and fought in an alliance with them against the Russians for several more years. Who benefits from manufacturing this enmity right now?
🏛️ The Hypocrisy of "Red Lines" on History
Now, Poland is demanding to block Ukraine's entry into the EU and is starting to support Russia simply because Zelenskyy awarded a title to a UPA military brigade. Apparently, the Poles didn't know that we have had an OUN battalion for quite a long time already too :) For Ukrainians, this is an attack on our independence. Ukrainians interpret this as: "You defended yourselves against our attempts to occupy you—therefore, you are criminals."
This looks incredibly hypocritical against the backdrop of the atrocities committed by the Poles themselves. By this exact same logic, Ukraine could ban all of Poland, Germany could ban everyone who fought against the Third Reich, and following their example, every single country could start banning each other's heroes, since everyone fought against one another at some point in history.
Now, purely theoretically, imagine if it turns out that the Ukrainians are not to blame (the Russian archives regarding Volyn remain classified to this day—and surely that's not for no reason, is it?). Do you think those vatniks will apologize? They will continue to hate Ukrainians, because that is how their psychology works. We will not allow our heroes to be insulted. The options here are either friendship or enmity. Ukrainians will not renounce their own heroes, even if it costs us the EU. But this is history! This is the past! We must work toward the future. As for the vatniks, they will always exist as long as there are idiots whom it will be profitable for Russia to manipulate.
The tragedy of the post-collapse borderlands lies in the overlapping memory of victimhood. As Niccolò Machiavelli observed, injuries done to a population leave a generational imprint that is easily weaponized by a third party. When Poland relies on inflated Soviet-era numbers or codifies historical narratives that mirror Russian propaganda, it inadvertently serves the strategic interests of Moscow. By attempting to force Ukraine into a position of historical submission as a prerequisite for European integration, European neighbors mimic the very imperial patronization they claim to oppose.
Isn't it time for arrogant Polish President Karol Nawrocki to put the hatchet away?
The Gateway Pundit's regular pro-Moscow author, Paul Serran, tells his biggest lie in his one-sided, anti-Ukrainian nationalist drivel: that 100,000 Poles died in Volyn 1943-45. (We don't even know how many were killed by Soviet insurgents in false flag operations.)
But a decade ago, the number was said to be only about 8,000.
In the last couple years in the world news the sensationalist pro-Moscow pundits as well as a number of socialist and Polish historians pumped that number way up without evidence.
Nor does the thoughtful Paul Serran bother to explain the complexities of the world war going on. Or that maybe there is a lot more to the story. Like centuries' worth.
Poland's opportunist President Karol Nawrocki blasts Zelensky and Ukrainians for honoring the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, the Ukrainian Nationalists, and independence leaders who fought and died for freedom while Hitler and Stalin tore apart Europe.
8 million Ukrainians died in WW2.
What Nawrocki fails to mention or atone for is the number of Ukrainians murdered by the Poles. In WW2 both Hitler and Stalin used Poles in various military formations against Ukrainians and even free-thinking Poles. Historians who add that up will have to address the crimes.
By 1945, some Polish (WiN) anti-Communist partisans worked together with the Ukrainian Insurgent Army against Soviet and Polish government Communist goon squads.
One note. Right after the Russian revolution, Poland rounded up 100,000 Ukrainian civilians and put them in Polish concentration camps -- 20,000 died by starvation, disease, torture.

On January 1, Ukraine commemorates the birth and life of Ukrainian nationalist hero STEPAN BANDERA. Revolutionary, nation builder, martyr. Russia's prime enemy to this day. No Fascist, no mobster, no Nazi. Just a patriot fighting for what's right.
DO OR DIE. Part 7 of my X series on WW2 in Ukraine.

J6 Committee fiends who lied and ruined lives. Said Chairman BENNIE THOMPSON in December 2024 about getting a pre-emptive pardon from Biden: "If he offers it — to me or other members of the committee — I think … I would accept it, but it's his choice."
The deadliest Soviet WW2 sniper was LYUDMYLA PAVLICHENKO, a Ukrainian, long publicized by Moscow as Russian. Received the Order of Lenin. Most Soviet snipers were women -- of 2,000 known, only 500 survived the war.
STEPHEN J. SKUBIK TRIED TO SAVE PATTON IN 1945. THE U.S. DEEPSTATE AND THE RUSSIANS CONSIDERED KILLING HIM TOO.
As a baby, he was found in a basket on Ukrainian church steps in 1916 Philadelphia. And raised by the nuns of St. Basil -- who had created an orphanage to address the growing number of orphans and abandoned infants from the coal regions of Pennsylvania.
Stephen J. Skubik, as a fearless agent of the US Army's CIC Counter Intelligence Corps in war-torn Germany, a madhouse of intrigue, swarming with Russian spies, was warned three times by his Ukrainian nationalist contacts in the underground -- Stepan Bandera, General Pavlo Shandruk, Prof. Roman Smal-Stocki -- that the Russian NKVD was about to stage an assassination attempt on the outspoken Patton.
The FDR machine was giving half Germany and all eastern Europe to Stalin. A result of the secret Yalta agreement kept from the public. They were afraid of the tyrant.
Patton could have ended WW2 six months early, at minimum, some experts believe. FDR held back Patton, again and again, from North Africa, to Sicily, Italy, England, France, Germany, Czechoslovakia. Washington DC treachery was working long before the Yalta Conference in February 1945.
When Skubik approached Wild Bill Donovan of the US OSS Office of Strategic Services for help, the pro-Soviet Donovan dismissed the assassination talk as a lie, an attempt to besmirch their "ally" the Russians.
In his memoirs, Skubik wrote: “I caught 6 spies, 17 Gestapo Agents, a number of Nazi Kreisleiters and Gauleiters.” However, he made Donovan furious when he arrested and roughed up a Communist celebrity Walter Ulbricht -- would go on to become leader of East Germany.
On December 9, 1945, outside Mannheim on a Sunday morning, a 2-1/2 ton Army truck sitting in wait, pulled out and over into Patton's Cadillac.
OSS commando-assassin Doug Bazata, who admitted to historian Robert K. Wilcox that he organized the hit job, failed on that attempt.
In a classic Russian black bag sequence, the victim Patton is driven to the hospital (lax security) with a broken neck and mysterious laceration, miraculously recovers, and before he can go stateside, December 21 dies in bed.
Bazata said the NKVD finished the job. Most likely an injection to create embolism.
Skubik tried to do an investigation as it was his territory but was rebuffed by the Army and Washington DC deepstaters.
He kept complaining, eventually got busted to E1, was falsely arrested by a rogue Army captain, then Skubik's immediate superior got him out of jail in a dramatic moment. His life was now in danger. He left for home.
By 1951, Skubik changed to Republican for the Robert Taft campaign, having realized the New Dealer party had tried to kill him and was hiding the story of Patton as well as Operation Keelhaul "repatriations" of anti-Communists forced over to Stalin.
He created a GOP aggressive liberation plank to counteract New Dealer appeasement of Communism, along with former ambassador to Poland, Arthur Bliss Lane, “Republican Policy of Liberation or Democratic Policy of Containment.”
Beyond becoming an insurance company executive, he worked on eight presidential campaigns, was a leader in the Ukrainian Congress Committee UCCA and numerous GOP efforts.
Indeed, the orphan lived a life under the shadow of Communism and the Washington DC deepstate intriguers who held the upper hand. But he lived to see the West pull the plug on the USSR, drain its central bank assets and attempt to foster a Western democracy.
After Bazata's initial confession revelations to Spotlight magazine in 1979, Skubik decided to self-publish his own memoir once and for all in 1993.
Historian Robert K. Wilcox in 2008 published Target: Patton which deftly, boldly, breaks through the deepstate coverup, interviews for the first time the relatives of key players and corrects the narrative. Perhaps someday another new revelation. I'm watching.

GENERAL PAVLO SHANDRUK. In the wild days of 1945, he negotiated to save 50,000 Ukrainian anti-Communist fighters inside the Allied territory from Stalin's clutches.
120,000 Ukrainians were serving in the Polish Army when Hitler and Stalin decided to invade Poland. On September 23, 1939, a Ukrainian in the Polish Army, Colonel Pavlo Shandruk, assumed command of the 19th Infantry Brigade and saved it from annihilation by breaking out of a Soviet encirclement. For his valor, he was awarded Poland's highest military honor Virtuti Militari by Polish General Wladyslaw Anders.
By 1942, in an agreement Stalin grudgingly made with the British and Poles-in-exile governments, "Anders Army" -- a collection of Soviet-held Polish-ethnic POWs and civilians partly remembered for its deadly journey to Allied forces in Iran -- went on to fight from North Africa to Italy.
However, in that complex history of WW2, most Polish and Ukrainian natives did their fighting in eastern Europe under many different formations.
As a Ukrainian nationalist and negotiator, Shandruk found himself in charge by 1945 of the newly formed Ukrainian National Army inside Allied-held Germany. That army gathered together about 50,000 Ukrainian soldiers who had fought against the Soviets -- all of whom Stalin wanted back to kill.
Shandruk called upon Anders, who remembered him, as well as Pope Pius XII and General Patton to obtain protected "consignees" status rather than POW in order to escape the Russians.
At that mad time, the Washington and London leaders were appeasing Stalin with forced "repatriation" -- Operation Keelhaul -- that handed over about 4 million anti-Communist men, women and children stranded in the Allied territory.

WAR CRIMINALS. May 7, 1915. Remember the LUSITANIA. Woodrow Wilson, Winston Churchill and the international banks cartel needed a flashpoint to send US troops to the trenches in Europe for WW1. They set up the RMS Lusitania, sent it unescorted through U boat infested water. 1,198 passengers died including 128 Americans. For further reading, see G. Edward Griffin "The Creature from Jekyll Island."
@RedWavePress Orban is a selfish, callous Moscow toady. However, he rightly rejected EU social perversity and suicidal open borders. Trump-Vance must remind Peter the Magyar that EU policies can destroy Hungary faster than the Russians.
FREE BEN ROBERTS-SMITH. ARREST THE GOVERNMENT HACKS. The sick, woke Australia justice system has spent $300 million over a ten year period investigating, accusing, one of Australia's most decorated veterans, of war crimes in Afghanistan. Many Aussies question why the government is persecuting Roberts-Smith given the circumstances and lack of evidence.
Consider this:
"[Aussie investigator Ross] Barnett said it was a 'challenge' that investigators could not physically enter Afghanistan to investigate the claims against Mr Roberts-Smith.
'So the challenge for investigators is that because we can't go to that country, we don't have access to the crime scene,' he said.
'We don't have photographs, site plans, measurements, the recovery of projectiles, blood spatter analysis, all of those things we would normally get at a crime scene.
'If you add to that that we don't have access to the deceased, there's no post-mortem. Therefore, there's no official cause of death.'
Mr Barnett said families of the Afghan victims may not be aware of the development because it was 'not safe' to make contact with them inside the Taliban-run nation."
