Poles are raised on the reaching period of partitions a romanticist story of oppressing us by the stronger. They tend to automatically admit the “right” to weaker and losers. To a large extent, the attitude of a immense part of Polish commentators towards Ukraine should be read. It comes not from an orderly geopolitical reflection, but from emotion: “bad” Russia invaded “good” Ukraine (regardless Russia was actually an aggressor).
