” the Red Army went to Warsaw repelling the Polish invasion of Ukraine”

That’s one take.

Another is that in 1920 a reborn Poland went to war to recover territories lost to aggressive neighbors 130 years before.

The same neighbors that would carve her up and attempt to extinguish the Polish national existence again in 1939.

Nope. Your take is without merits regarding context at all. Polish-Russian relations had nothing to do with it in 1920.
These territories weren’t part of Russia anymore and USSR didn’t exist yet.
It was a Polish annexation of Ukraine - a separate nation at the time.
I guess you disagree with Russian annexation of Crimea but then based on your very same logic Russia has right to annex not only Crimea which is historically more Russian but all the Ukraine and Poland on top of it.
Who cares that these are independent nations? They were once part of Russia lost to aggressive NATO after all.
It doesn’t sound right. Isn’t it? But why?
That’s where double standards bring you.
