Largely nonsense: the Polish press regularly reports on the number of Ukrainians who have crossed the border, not all of whom have settled in Poland.

There is of course some friction regarding Ukrainians who are getting some emergency benefits and some second thoughts among those who accepted refugees into their homes who did not expect the war to go on for so long.

I was just there in December to visit relatives. My wife remarked on how much Ukrainian she heard on public transport and I noticed the dual language signage that has become ubiquitous. My mother-in-law's housekeeper came with her family from Donbas during the 2014 war. Her children are fluent in Polish, will graduate from Polish high schools and will go to university in Poland. They're basically indistinguishable from Poles now.

Exactly - I would even argue that the Polish people are far better informed of the realities of the war than 99.9% of the US population.

As long as they don’t go around carrying pictures of Stepan Bandera.

I watched the “Wolyn” movie a few weeks back, kind of wish I hadn’t.

I suspect a lot of Ukrainians speak Russian as their first language.

There was a time when speaking Russian in Poland was a big “no no”.

Suddenly Duda is a Klaus Schwab WEF globalist? Whoda thunk it? LMAO at this transparently gaslighting article. Only the dimmest bulbs fall for Kremlin bootlicking nonsense.
