All I can tell you is what the Polish lady said..and she grew up just after WW2 and her parents spent time in NAZI labor camps. “There are two peoples who killed people quicker than the NAZIs did.” “The Russians and the Ukrainians.”
I asked her why then are the Poles taking them in?
“Because the whole world is watching.”
“Its all political.”
BTW..her hometown is 40km from the border of Belarus and Ukraine. A lot of her kin went through the Wolyn massacres and she lost many of them. That war did not end with the signing of the German surrender. The Poles and Ukrainians, and Russians, fought each other for quite a while after.
Do research on the Polish legislature passing a law this past Feb banning the Bandera ideology. When the Poles passed that, it was the trigger for Putin to attack..IMO.
Furthermore, the International Court had filed a case against the Ukraine for crimes against humanity for things done from abt 2014 till the start of this conflict in the east of the Ukraine. Was supposed to have been some 40 countries that joined that case against The Ukraine.
There is a lot more to this than what is being let out.
Also the hope is by taking in Ukrainians, it will take pressure off of Poland to take in Muslim "refugees".
“There are two peoples who killed people quicker than the NAZIs did.” “The Russians and the Ukrainians.”
Wow! Thanks for the very interesting information.
“There is a lot more to this than what is being let out.”
That’s why reports like you have given us are so important.
That’s an old, bitter lady. Understandable. But not the situation on the ground in Poland today.
The majority, 70% to 80% of Poles are helping Ukrainians because
1. These are women and children.
2. We are being the bigger person and forgiving the present people for what their grandfathers did. Not forgetting though
