Journalist Anna Budyńska was among the grassroots army of Polish volunteers who rushed to help Ukrainian refugees as they began crossing the border in February to escape Russia’s invasion.
At first, she and her partner donated money and collected food and blankets for refugees arriving in Warsaw. But she wanted to do more to understand those whom she was helping and decided to learn Ukrainian.
“I suddenly realised that I had always loved to travel to western Europe, India or Mexico, but I had never visited Ukraine, knew nothing about Ukrainian culture and only a little bit about its history that was taught at school,”

He said his country was helping Ukraine “because we know what it’s like to be under [Russian] occupation and how terrible it can be”.
... About 1.3mn Ukrainians lived in Poland before Russia’s full-scale invasion in February, and the number has more than doubled since then.
Their presence has given Poles a new sense of kinship with and respect for their neighbours.

In the aftermath, Polish prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki said that “it is in our best interest to help Ukraine”.

(PhD! Bwahahahahaha! OMG! What an idiot.)
And the Volyn Massacre.
“Nope. Not triggered. Not even remotely disturbed.”
I posted two simple questions that showed your question was illogical.
You then responded with four posts in which you acted like a juvenile with a hurt ego.
You were triggered.
You’ll keep proving I’m right.
Whatever. You still have not answered my question.
Everybody on this board knows you’re a weak and wobbly liar. (PhD! Bwahahahaha!)
Anyways, I’m done with you. Thanks for the laughs and Merry Christmas.
“You still have not answered my question.”
I’d rather just watch you be triggered.
Maybe this article will provide context for the missile into Poland
“Missile strike likely not an assault on Poland, US and NATO say;
