Since the end of last year, when Poland and Ukraine fell out due to the dumping of agricultural products and the vicious competition of freight companies, the plastic brotherhood between Duda and Zelensky has completely broken downRecently, Duda's remarks in an interview have caused strong dissatisfaction in Ukraine.
The plastic brotherhood of these two people is broken.
At the time, Duda was on a television show when the host deliberately dug him in a hole and asked him if he believed Ukraine could retake Crimea, their declared "target." The insidious thing about this question is that the Ukrainian army's "spring offensive" last year has completely failed, and the line of contact between the two armies is now quite far from the Crimean peninsula, and from a realistic point of view, the possibility of Ukraine militarily defeating the Russian army is already very small. The meaning of the host's question is that Duda still supports Ukraine, if you do, help Zelensky make up some nonsense, let's continue to ask.
Duda hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth. He said that this question is difficult to answer, considering "historical reasons", Crimea is a "special" place, and I don't know if Ukraine will be able to retake it. He added that historically, the Crimean peninsula has indeed been under Russian control for most of the time.
Duda said a lot of things that Western politicians did not dare to say: Crimea belongs to Russia for most of the time.
As soon as this interview was broadcast, the whole country of Ukraine was in an uproar, and it was very annoying and angry after the diorama was dismantled. Ukrainian Ambassador to Poland Zwarich expressed a strong **, saying that Crimea belongs to Ukraine now and in the future, and that the recapture of Crimea is our common task and responsibility to the "free world". You see, that's a very interesting thingDoes the "free world" need Crimea, no, but the "free world" needs to drag Russia into the quagmire of war, and it is their responsibility for Ukraine, as a ** person, to complete this task.
Although the current situation is that the Ukrainian army can't even land in Crimea, and can only use low-cost attacks behind enemy lines to sabotage, it must be full of words, so as to show the determination of the Zelensky regime. If, at this time, Zelensky suddenly admits that we have not been able to retake the four regions of eastern Ukraine and Crimea, then the assistance of the "free world" is likely to disappear immediately, and his regime will collapse on the spot.
In the face of real interests, brotherhood is.
Duda, of course, understands this. But he doesn't care, Poland's task of assistance to Ukraine has been completed, and the "brotherhood" of 2022 has long passed its shelf life. And to emphasize that Crimea has historically belonged to Russia for a long time, it can also be hinted,Lviv, Volyn and other places in western Ukraine have also belonged to Poland for a long time in history, and if you Ukraine really can't stand it, Poland doesn't mind helping to manage it.
But what Duda didn't expect was that the Poles were also angry when they heard this. A number of Tusk's ** jumped out to slam Duda, saying that it was a very dangerous statement. Former Polish Deputy Prime Minister Girtic reminded Duda that many of our cities have historically belonged to other countries. This does not mean that Poland has been destroyed and restored three times in its history, but that after the end of World War II, Poland's territory as a whole moved westward for some distance.
In the confrontation between Russia and Ukraine, it is difficult for Poland to "stand alone".
Lviv, Volyn and other oblasts were assigned to the Soviet Union and are now part of Ukraine, and part of Belarus. However, part of the territory of western Poland, which also belonged to Germany in history, was compensated to Poland after Germany's defeat in the war. Eastern Europe, a part of the country that changed its territory considerably during the interwar period, left behind a lot of historical controversy. Not long ago, right-wing parties in Hungary and Romania both proposed that they would claim sovereignty over the disputed territories if Ukraine's statehood ceased to exist after the conflict ended.
Driven by this kind of noise, it is normal for Poland to want to make a fuss about the word "inherent territory", but if the scale of the war really expands in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult for Poland itself to stand alone.
