The reason I posted this thread is the spread across the net of a story posted in a leftist Polish magazine about Poland's government already early in the autumn 2013 offering assitance and training opportunities to people from the Ukrainian neo-nazi Right Sector. As far as I have been able to glean from a web-translation of the original article it does not contain any verifiable facts. However, as is mentioned in several articles citing that piece, the Polish authorities very early on suppported the demonstrators in Kiev and Lvov in a way that would hardly be acceptable between two democratic neighbouring countries. The Polish involvement in the Maidan protests were as far as I can remember never fully covered by the Western media.

I was in Poland when this protest started and th enews stated that people were being bussed into Maidan. You are right, the western media never talked aobut it or even asked about it.

Nothing like Obama’s foreign policy to set things back eighty years or so. Poland sees the continent as caught between two rival empires once more and is taking the side of the one it perceives as less malevolent, even though both have equally malevolent intent.

It seems that the problem with Ukraine is that the Russians, under the sway of Putin, are using the same tactics and strategy as the EU, Poles, Germans, French and Brits, but are doing a much better job of it, in spite of the fact that the Russians are being responsive to the initiation of said tactics by the EU.
It must really fry the Western Socialist left, and their MSM sycophants, to be beat so badly at their own game.

“a leftist Polish magazine”
It is a neo-commie/porn/anti-Chrisitan/anti-western rag owned by a spokesman of 80’s commie government and with Soviet secret service employees working as “journalists”. They will print whatever Russian embassy tells them to print.

Also note that Poland would not train Bandera neo Nazis. Why wouldn’t they? Because the main target of those banderas were Poles. They define themselves as.Cossacks and that puts a chill to most poles who remember the UPA.slaughtering thousands of polish civilians.

Finally, despite Rtv’s claims, the majdan protests were peaceful.

My opinion, shortly:
Your original source is rubbish, far-left tabloid.
Polish politicians are obsessed about Ukraine joining the EU. So I wouldnt be surprised if they would support Majdan in that way.
The EU doesn't wanted Ukraine to join in near future. Btw, if you don't like the EU you should support Ukrainian membership right from tomorrow.
It was not about the EU but about NATO planning to take Russian navy base in Crimea in the future.
