“My Polish neighbors told me if you want to talk to a liar and con-artist”
Sorry, this is a logical fallacy with appeal to your Polish neighbor as an authority. However, your neighbor anecdotal evidence does not disprove the topic that Ukraine is forced to defend its national territory because of the Russian invasion. Thousands of civilians and soldiers from both nations are dying from the aggressive actions of Putin.
Many of my neighbors on the Southwest Side of Chicago came here in the 1990’s from Poland. They regard Ukraine as an enemy for stealing the Polish city of Lwow. Lwow was once the 3rd largest city in Poland until the Russians occupied it in 1945 and gave it to Ukraine.
There is a lot of bad blood in that region.
