  • I haven't seen such talking points in polish media, though I'm not that emersed in it. A Polish minister did say Ukraine isn't thanking Poland enough some time ago, but aside from a map conservapedia pulled out from somewhere and completely lied/misunderstood what it says, that's it

    • Yeah, it's something I see popping up from time to time and it annoys me every time.

      It almost feels like a losing battle, because "No, Poland isn't going to reclaim its pre-1939 territories like it's a cored province in a map game" never sticks, and a few weeks later someone goes and makes a reference to it again.

      Support for such a thing isn't even widespread among the far-right opposition, while the media, from lib to mainstream fash are all overwhelmingly positive towards Ukraine and eager to sabre-rattle against Russia.

      What Poland does do however, is try to expand its regional influence. Especially in the Baltics the Belarusian opposition (with the hope of them getting into power eventually).

      • as an aside, what I was referencing is this image:

        A map of Ukraine (blue), with Poland(yellow) and Russia(red) also in the in the picture, some western territory claimed by the current Ukrainian Government is colored in yellow stripes, while some of the eastern labeled with red stripes

        which is followed by:

        Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (FIS) stated that the Polish military’s priority “combat tasks” would include the gradual seizure of control over strategic facilities in West Ukraine. Poland discussed with the Biden regime an action to “reunite” with West Ukraine.

        (The entire paragraph has no sources or references)

        The image has a convenient label however which I will translate:

        [yellow stripes] This territory the Russians want to give Poland

        [red stripes] Territory which Russia wants to annex
