KYIV, March 15 (Reuters) - An international peacekeeping mission should be sent to Ukraine and be given the means to defend itself, the leader of Poland's ruling party said on Tuesday after meeting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
Jaroslaw Kaczynski made his remarks after he and the prime ministers of the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovenia arrived in Kyiv in a show of high-level backing for Zelenskiy, who briefed them on the war with Russia.

Under the guise of "peacekeeping" are we really seeing the start of the partition of the fomer Ukraine into a much smaller buffer state between an enlarged Greater Russia and an enlarged Greater Poland. A state that might more closely resemble the 19th century version of Ukraine?
This is what Russian Intelligence is saying now:
This is what is being reported in the Russian (English Language) press:
Poland has secret plan for Ukraine, Moscow claims
Ukraine's western frontiers were last redrawn after World War II when Poland agreed to part with the Eastern Galicia region and most of Volhynia, which were incorporated into the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. Warsaw was compensated with land which had previously been part of Germany, most notably gaining the port city of Gdansk (Danzig).
Washington, Warsaw Plot 'Reunification' of Poland & Western Ukraine - Russian Foreign Intel Chief
As restored after the First World War, Poland included a large part of what is now western Ukraine, particularly Galicia, Volhynia and Polisia. Much of modern Ukraine was originally part of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, only to be divided between it and the Russian Empire later.So, as always in this area of the world, there are historic claims, and justifications, and there is the endless push of power exercised by those who have it, at the expense of those who don't.
How ironic would it be for Ukraine to lose territory on both the east and western borders as an unintended consequence of the war?
There was a UN peacekeeping mission in Korea 70 years ago. It drove the North Koreans back almost to the Yalu River, and then kept the Chinese from holding positions below the 38th parallel.
This sounds like Russian garbage to say “See, Poland wants to go and take historical land too.”
What ever happened to the constant parade of politicians and pundits calling for a “no fly zone?”
Another media slogan that passed its sell-by date?
Pretty much
Peacekeeping mission sounds fine provided it’s backed by the full firepower of NATO. The first peacekeeper gets hit and NATO launches on the Russian military
Back to Lwow.
Of course, Russia can offer the Germans (Vienna AND Berlin) a much better deal.
Poland is trying to punch above its weight. Bądź ostrożny.
What do you mean by "NATO"?
Germany is not on board. USA will never do it.
Belgium? Holland? FRANCE????
C'mon, man.
No, it's just a rus nazi disinfo garbage.
That was my war - Korean - and we could have driven them back to the other side of the Yalu but the UN was insistent we were to hold at the 38th parallel.
You can’t win a war playing defense.
“What ever happened to the constant parade of politicians and pundits calling for a no fly zone?”
We discovered that would only benefit the Russians. Their planes can’t stay airborne while Ukrainian drones continue to slaughter the invaders.
Why not?
“So Poland is going to try to get their slice, too.”
No, it won’t.
We’ll see.
Lemberg = Lviv
Good post—Putin is playing chess again—offering to give land to Poland and some Balkan countries from former Ukraine territory to get them on board.
Meanwhile the US and Western Europe are howling at the moon while they throw checkers around the room.
Comparing our current UnitedStatesInc. to America 1950, is comical. We are a Potemkin village led by hollow men and transvestites who are incapable of making sound decisions. But keep dreaming. That’s what Neocons do best, to our national detriment.
