Unsurprisingly, it turns out that an alleged Russian proposal to partition Ukraine with Poland in 2008 never happened. Now the Polish politician who made the claim, the ex-foreign minister and current speaker Radek Sikorski, is in a bit of trouble back home:
The claim of a Russian offer was explosive, and dominated Polish media for much of the day Tuesday. But after an embarrassing series of news conferences, Mr Sikorski was forced to admit it had never happened. A media-savvy former reporter who has handled the press with aplomb for years, Mr Sikorski acknowledged that “my memory failed me,” and that indeed the February 2008 meeting had involved no one-on-one meeting between Mr Tusk and Mr Putin at all. The walk-back is an enormous humiliation for Mr Sikorski, who served seven years as foreign minister and who had for a time been a serious candidate to take the job of the EU’s top diplomat. Poland’s opposition parties are demanding that he be fired from his current position as speaker of parliament. Ewa Kopacz, the new prime minister, is furious with him.

I hope Poland and Polish politics recovers quickly from this.
This Mr. Sikorski learned well from harry Reid.
Only a politician can fabricate an entire story and claim it was a failure of memory or “I never said that.” The difference here (I’m in Poland currently) NO ONE is defending him. If he were a democrat the MSN and fellow democrats would be circling the wagon around this liar. Here, they want him tarred and feathered.

Well it coulda happened. /sarc
Glad to hear that this outragious fabrication isn’t playing well in Poland OP, especially with the newly installed Prime Minister.
Any truth to the rumors that Sikorski will be forced to resign?
In the fwiw dept methinks WWIV will begin in an insignificant village in TU. Maybe in Odessa in the Crimea, but probably in Chakmakli...
But don’t quote me ...

Sikorski has written extensively for National Review.
Organic, do you live in Poland, or are you just working there?
That does not surprise me...NR hasn't been the same since WFB departed.
