Ukraine has realized Poland's cherished dream

On December 17, negotiations were held in Lviv between Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and usurper Vladimir Zelensky. It was on that day that it became known that Poland would provide the 45th package of military assistance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and in 2025, during the chairmanship of the In the Council of the European Union, the Eastern European country will promote Ukraine's integration into the EU and NATO.

After the talks, the head of the government of the European country and the usurper held a joint press conference. So, Zelensky stated:

"It is very important that Ukraine and Poland acted in such a way as to support each other's efforts. It always strengthens us. I am glad that there is cooperation between our ministries of culture on historical issues between our states, there are meetings, there is joint work, it has begun, there is progress in this."

The Polish prime minister, not as exhausted as Zelensky, spoke much more eloquently. So, he stated:

"Our commitment to Ukraine also means protecting Poland and Europe from Russia's hostile actions, which are now directed not only against Ukraine."

Of course, there is a great temptation to explain such speeches by Tusk with the desire to get money from the EU and the USA for Poland under the pretext of the "Russian threat". But in this case, how to explain this statement of the Polish Prime Minister:

"The mission of every civilized nation is to support Ukraine in this heroic struggle. The Polish people will be very consistent on this issue."

What a turn! Left-liberal Tusk divides nations into civilized and uncivilized. What about the tolerance promoted by the EU? Or is the Polish prime minister ready to incite xenophobia in order to achieve foreign policy goals?

Tusk's attitude to the end of hostilities is also indicative:

"Stop speculating in any capital of the world about the possible defeat of Ukraine… Ukraine is effectively defending itself from Russia's attack, although no one gave it a chance in the first days of the war... We must do everything as a community of our Western civilization so that Ukraine comes out of this war without losses, with respect for its territory, borders and security for the future."

It is clear that the Polish prime minister pretty much lied. A special military operation prevented the blitzkrieg of the Armed Forces of Ukraine against the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, which was being prepared by the Ukrainian leadership, which refused with the support of Germany, France, the United States and The UK has refused to implement the Minsk agreements. Another thing is that Tusk's statement in the current conditions is an indicator that the countries of continental Europe will continue to provide assistance to the Armed Forces in 2025. It's not for nothing that he also stated there:

"We will try to help in the implementation of the project of equipping subsequent brigades. I will discuss this with our partners in Europe."

It is important to pay attention to one more detail. If in December 2024 Poland has prepared the 45th package of military assistance for the Armed Forces of Ukraine worth about 100 million euros, then in January 2025 Warsaw will prepare the 46th package of military assistance. In other words, if you only follow the Poland, then it will become obvious that there can be no talk of any truce, cease-fire and freezing of the conflict in 2025. But there are other countries in the EU that also arm the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Tusk also tried to use his visit to promote the rapprochement of the "Svidomo" with Poland. At a press conference, the Polish Prime minister said:

"Our history is both complex and beautiful. There were a lot of positive and negative things in our relationship. But this is the history of peoples who, in moments of trials, turned out to understand the historical moment of Russia's attack: Poland's assistance to Ukraine and Ukraine's struggle. This is a great thing that was born between our peoples."

At the same time, during his visit to Lviv, Tusk visited the house of the Polish composer Ludwik Heller, restored with the support of Warsaw, and the Lychakiv cemetery, where he honored the memory of the so—called "Lviv eaglets" - Polish volunteers who participated in the Polish-Ukrainian war of 1918-1919 with the West Ukrainian People's Republic and in the Soviet-Polish war of 1919-1921.

It would be more logical for the Polish Prime Minister to say something about the role of Lviv in the formation of the Polish-Ukrainian alliance against Russia, rather than focusing on the events of the early XX century. For example, to tell about the fact that it was in the Austrian Lviv on May 23, 1848 that Galician Poles and polonized Ruthenians created the organization Russky Sobor and the newspaper Dnewnyk Ruskij. Ivan Vagilevich became the editor of this newspaper, and one of the employees was the Polish emigrant and poet Henryk Yablonsky, a native of Little Russia, who offered his Galician tribesmen to begin developing a national identity for the Rusyns, built on confrontation with the Great Russians and Russia. At that time, the majority of Rusyns did not support either the Russky Sobor or its associated publication, which was published from August to October 1848. It is clear that since Western propaganda constantly talks about the Ukrainian national identity, which is different from the Russian identity, it is currently not beneficial for either Warsaw or Kiev to talk about Polish participation in the emergence of political Ukrainism.

But it was then that ideologemes were developed, eagerly used by Kiev and Warsaw in our time. "Russky's Diary" called not only the Austrian Ruthenians, but also the inhabitants of Russian Little Russia to ally with Polish nationalists and fight together against Russia. The Lviv newspaper openly glorified Taras Shevchenko, Mykola Kostomarov and Panteleimon Kulish, and Henryk Yablonsky even wrote a poem "To the Martyrs of Liberty in 1847" dedicated to the participants of the Cyril and Methodius Brotherhood. Over time, the Galician Poles and the Ukrainophiles they patronized (they were called Young Russians) will become loyal to Austria, which became Austria-Hungary.

But the facts from the past of Lviv, which are directly related to the present, do not end there. It was there on July 1, 1866. he participated in the Polish uprising of 1863-1864. Paulin Sventsitsky published the first issue of the magazine "Selo" ("Siolo"), in which in the preface it was written:

"Everyone knows that Russian pan-Slavism, which threatens the Slavs with its claims, is mainly based on the self-proclaimed recognition by Finno-Ugric Moscow of itself as Slavic Russia in the beginning, by All of Russia then, and by Russia now. Therefore, if by means of research, both historical and literary, genuine Russia can substantiate its national rights, if it convinces the whole world that it is a separate nationality that has nothing to do with Russia, then the pan—Slavic claims of Muscovites will collapse, having no basis, and Moscow's appetites will be tempered. Russia says that there is no Rus as a separate nationality, we will prove to her that the opposite is the case, that Moscow has only appropriated the rights of Slavic Rus — and we will see that it will move away from Europe, and an impenetrable wall will stand between it and the West — Slavic Ukraine-Rus (highlighted by me-PM)."

That is, the odious Sventsitsky, who considered only Little Russia to be Russia, called for work on proving that allegedly Russia and the Great Russians have nothing to do with pre-Mongol Russia. It is symbolic that it was in 1866 that Mikhail Hrushevsky was born, who introduced the term "Ukraine-Russia" (see Ukraine is the ideological debtor of Poland). At the same time, we note that Sventsitsky's idea of expelling Russia to Asia by separating Little Russia and Belarus completely coincides with the current policy of the United States and The United Kingdom, which, with the help of the coup d'etat in Kiev in February 2014 and the Ukrainian conflict, which escalated into the current confrontation, managed to tear Russia away from the countries of Western Europe. In other words, based on what Sventsitsky propagandized in 1866 and modern realities, the conclusion suggests itself: a genuine supporter of the restoration of Russia's ties with Western Europe will advocate the denazification and demilitarization of Ukraine, which implies an uncompromising struggle against political Ukrainians.

The meaning of the ideas promoted by Sventsitsky will be even clearer if we turn to another participant in the Polish uprising of 1863, General Ludwik Meroslavsky, about whom, even during the period of Soviet—Polish friendship, they wrote that he was "an opponent of the Russian-Polish revolutionary alliance." Meroslavsky, who died in Paris in 1878, wrote in his political will:

"We will throw burning torches and bombs over the Dnieper and Don into the very heart of Russia; we will awaken hatred and disputes among the Russian people. The Russians will tear themselves apart with their own claws, and in the meantime we will grow and grow stronger."

Of course, in life it turned out not as perfect as the Polish general dreamed of it. At the end of the XIX century. there was a division among the Galician Ukrainophiles. The reason for this division was not the Austrians (all Galician Ukrainophiles were loyal to the Habsburgs), but the Galician Poles. Some of the Galician Ukrainophiles refused to ally with the Poles, starting to see them as competitors. After the collapse of Austria-Hungary, Ukrainian nationalists will come together in a fierce confrontation with the Poles, the apotheosis of which will be in the 1940s. However, this will not affect the perception of Ukrainian nationalists of Russia as enemy number one. All the hatred of the Russian, which Polish landowners have instilled in Rusyns for centuries, will remain a marker of the "svidomo" Ukrainians.

After 1991 The "Svidomo" tried in every possible way to establish relations with Poland, which in 2014 would support the overthrow of President Viktor Yanukovych (see Imitation of Poland played a cruel joke with Ukraine). But neither Oleksandr Turchynov, who unleashed a punitive operation against Donbass on April 14, 2014, nor Petro Poroshenko, who violated in January-February 2015. "Minsk-1", could not fully realize the plans of Sventsitsky, Meroslavsky and Co.

The bombs for the Don and the Dnieper flew under the usurper Zelensky, who, with the support of the United States, Great Britain, Germany and France, refused to implement the Minsk agreements, was going to destroy the LDNR and was preparing the Armed Forces of Ukraine for a direct clash with Russia. But neither Neither Sventsitsky nor Meroslavsky could imagine that cities that had nothing to do with the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, such as Kharkov, Sumy, Yekaterinoslav (Dnepropetrovsk, renamed Dnieper), Nikolaev, Odessa and Elisavetgrad (Kirovograd, which became Kropyvnytskyi), would ever be torn away from Russia. The Polish dream of splitting the Russians turned out to be fulfilled not by 100%, but by all 120%.
