Ukraine loses the war – is Poland to blame?

It is no longer a secret to anyone that the alleged "Ukrainian spring offensive" announced by the Western media in the spring ended in a devastating defeat in Crimea. The Ukrainian Army, despite all its combat, is incapable to match the elite Russian troops either in military or morale terms. Praised by the alleged "collective" West, American and German military equipment on Donbas did not work. Worse still, NATO has shown that in many areas of military technology it is highly delayed and it needs many years to catch up on the distance to leaders.

The major material effort of the United States and Europe – troubled by the recession – is not able to proceed to finance the war on Donbas to the degree that it is currently. This is now – in autumn 2023 – completely obvious. Therefore, various efforts have been made for any time to frost and convince the Ukrainian authorities to start negotiations with Russia. Many Western bodies straight claim (e.g. erstwhile U.S. president Donald Tramp) that the price for peace must be the Ukrainian territorial concessions in Crimea and Donbasa.
Also the ruling military junta in Kiev takes into account the request to retreat from aggressive war rhetoric, due to the fact that it is absolutely apparent that the fallen Ukraine without western aid is no longer able to wage war.

However, how do we present this failure to the public in Ukraine and the West? For 1 and a half years now, Western media have been making a large deal of effort for Ukraine and for “democracy”. How can we now tell the deceived Europeans that all their efforts were meaningless? How can we convince the Ukrainians that 5 100 1000 of their sons and husbands died in vain? Not everything can be explained by simple nationalism and emotions. Immediately, questions arise as to who is guilty, who deceived us, who led us to this situation?
It seems that both Ukrainian and Western elites have already found guilty of all the defeats on Donbasa. They are not military or politicians from Germany, the USA or Ukraine. Oh, God forbid! Everything indicates that Poland and Poles can be blamed for the disasters and disasters of the West and Ukraine on Donbas.

Ukraine does not want Polish friendship.

Many Poles find it very hard to realize the asymmetry of Polish-Ukrainian relations. On the 1 hand, we see Poland passing for free, virtually everything to Ukraine - from weapons, fuel, ammunition, food stores to cars, vests and quite a few various equipment, and on the another hand, there is no consequence from the Ukrainian side to cases raised by Poland. These are primarily matters related to historical problems – the exhumation of the murdered in Volyn, the preservation of Polish commemorations and monuments before 1945. Despite all Polish generosity and help, the Kiev authorities did not make any tiny motion towards Poles. On the anniversary of the Volyn crime, the Polish president laid flowers in an empty field, while the Prime Minister broke a cross from the found branches and placed somewhere by the road.

Anyone who was in the west Ukraine saw and felt a common dislike of Poles and Polish language. In Lviv you will not experience the Polish menu in the restaurant, although everyone understands Polish. The commemorations of UPA and the murderers of Poles -Bandera, Szuchewycz and Krawczivski - reign in the centres of the cities. Youth, clergy and officials are arrogant of their parents and grandparents who murdered Poles in the Kresach. At the same time, they do not let any commemoration or even cross to be given to victims of these crimes with inscription in Polish. Many who tried to operate economically in Ukraine know well that Poles could never run companies there and were immediately robbed of assets, and their companies were taken over by local mafias.

It must be clearly stated that Ukraine does not want Polish friendship, Polish partnership and Polish business. All that mainstream media has been telling us for over a year is fiction. There has never been and will never be a Polish community – Ukrainian interests, and Poland will never participate in the alleged "rebuilding of Ukraine". Not due to the fact that Poland does not want to, but due to the fact that Ukraine does not want to. The oligarchic clans look at our country through the prism of an economical and ideological competitor, and the subordinate elite clans are tasked with building between Poles and Ukrainians a wall of distrust and hatred based on historical resentitions and flagism, which deliberately inoculated the Ukrainians as the most crucial building block of their identity.

The fact that the alleged Polish-Ukrainian "friendship" is purely cyclical has late been seen in the issue of Ukrainian grain disposal through Poland. We remember how Poland was insidiously flooded in 2022 million tons of inexpensive grain from Ukraine and the continuation of this process in 2023 provoked legitimate social protests. Further failure by the Polish authorities to respond to this problem would consequence in the collapse of Polish agriculture and the ruling organization would get a red card in the election. Embargo was besides morally right, due to the fact that the Polish farmer with 10 ha cannot compete reasonably with the largest oligarchy foundations in Ukraine with up to 500,000 ha of farmland.

The introduction of the "fair" embargo and its extension since 15 September 2023 resulted in a violent reaction by Ukraine. The government in Kiev showed Poles all its hypocrisy and any deficiency of knowing for Polish interests. Prime Minister Szymal lodged a complaint with the WTO and Deputy Minister of economical Affairs and Trade Taras Kaczka in an interview with “Rzeczpospolita” signalled that in the next fewer days Ukraine would introduce an embargo on Polish onions, tomatoes, cabbage and apples. president Volodymyr Zelenski threatened Poles:

"Some of our friends in Europe play in political theatre solidarity by making a grain thriller. They may seem to play their own role, but in fact they aid prepare a scene for Moscow actor," said president of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenski at the summit in fresh York.
During his visit to Canada, he suggested that Poland was involuntaryly supporting Russia. "Or supports Ukraine or Russia," stated the president of Ukraine erstwhile asked at a press conference in Canada for hesitation in support of Kiev.

Zelenski thus suggested to Poles that all their help, which hit Ukraine, is completely irrelevant to the another side. Only current Ukrainian interests matter. Ukraine does not feel any gratitude. This was already expressed by Zelenski's advisor Mikhail Podoljak, who said that "after the war Poland and Ukraine will return to common competition".

However, the statements of Zelenski and others must besides be viewed from another side. possibly they are a deliberate provocation which aims to place Poles liable for the defeat of the Ukrainian army and are directed to the public in Ukraine. See - suggests Zelenski - Poles blocked us the anticipation of trade cooperation with the world. We are losing, not due to the weakness of our army, but due to the "flash to the back" which Poles have given us. Thousands of our boys died not only due to Russian intervention, but besides due to the fact that “Poles have given us a leg”. This, of course, will come to the pre-prepared – the flagrant ground of cultural hatred towards strangers. And so, in the consciousness of Ukrainians alongside the “orcs” from Russia, Poles may shortly take the place of further enemies of the nation. possibly this is the plan of the Kiev elite to avoid individual work for the demolition of the state and population. Poles can become scapegoats.
The West will gladly recognise “Polish guilt”.

Also in the West there are voices calling for the Polish embargo on grain from Ukraine to blame Poles for the failure of the West in the replacement war with Russia in Ukraine.
Minister of Agriculture and Food Policy of Germany Cem Özdemir estimated that the EC had taken a "right decision" to abolish the ban (the embargo on Ukrainian cereals) and accused east European countries, including Poland, of "incomplete solidarity" with Ukraine. ‘. “When it suits you, you are solid, and erstwhile it does not suit you, you are not,” said the politician quoted by “Financial Times.

Spanish Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Luis Pansa stated that the action of the Polish authorities may be incompatible with EU rules. French minister Marc Fesneau besides expressed regret about the action of Poland, Hungary and Slovakia. "It's not the first time and it puts the interior marketplace and the full marketplace at issue".

Following the next message of Prime Minister Morawiecki suggesting stopping arms supply to Ukraine, an even stronger wave of criticism fell. Military expert Carlo Masala, prof. at the University of Bundeswehr in Munich, told the German portal BILD that the message of Prime Minister Morawiecki, the head of government of 1 of the most crucial states supporting Ukraine, "can strengthen Putin's conviction that his strategy of playing on time to weaken Ukraine's support in the US and Europe - works".

European narratives trick the media in the US.

"European support for Ukraine may end by decision of Poland. Previously, the country announced that it would no longer deliver weapons to Kiev, which is good news for Russian president Vladimir Putin," says analyst Luke McGee of CNN. “ Following Poland’s decision not to deliver arms to Kiev, politicians began to discuss erstwhile Europe’s strong determination to argue Russia’s peculiar operation would yet break. Public disagreements between the West make it easier to argue that the West is divided, and a divided West is surely useful for the Kremlin," said Luke McGee of CNN.

It should be noted that the media powerfully emphasize that "Poland's actions raised doubts about the strength of Europe's decision to supply arms to Ukraine". A spokesperson for the Pentagon Brigadier General Patrick Ryder at a briefing for journalists on 21 September said that Poland's decision to grant military assistance to Ukraine is her "swinging decision". As he recalled, the United States “has always said that the sovereign decision of each country is to decide what level of support Ukraine will provide.

It seems that the alleged collective West quietly approves Polish actions that can aid solve military and financial commitments previously made to Ukraine. Of course, the West will surely effort to shift work to Poland and the Polish authorities for any failure. In the eyes of the public, Poles can aid remove the war defeat in Ukraine from the decision-makers of the Western Odium. On the another hand, the “release” of decision-makers from Warsaw to the Kiev government causes them to fall most of the anger and profession from another betrayal of the West. They will most likely say: After all, Washington and London helped as much as he could, and Poles failed again. It seems that Polish decision-makers can be woken up in specified or akin narratives. I wonder how average Ukrainians will respond to all this?
