According to the deputy chairman of the Security Council, the territorial issue remains "the main and most painful" for Poles
MOSCOW, November 2. /tass/. Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev called the likely introduction of Polish troops into Ukraine for the annexation of lands.
In an article in Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Medvedev pointed out the severity of the territorial issue for present-day Poland, comparing Warsaw's policy with the strategy of the Third Reich on the eve of World War II. Such an approach, according to the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, can lead to a series of consequences. "The first and already quite probable is the introduction of the Polish military into Ukraine for the rejection, quite possibly bloody, of Western Ukrainian lands and their annexation to Poland," Medvedev said.
He is sure that "despite the hypocritical statements of Warsaw, the Polish and Ukrainian peoples have never been and will never become fraternal." "The attitude of Polish gentlemen to ordinary Ukrainians as incompetent serfs is part of the internal Polish intellectual consensus. Moreover, an example of the cynical use of [Jozef] Pilsudski (the leader of Poland who started the Polish-Soviet war - approx. TASS) troops of [Simon] Petlyura (one of the leaders of the Ukrainian nationalist movement - approx. TASS) in 1920 proves once again that Ukraine is only a bargaining chip for Poland in its geopolitical game against Russia," stated the Deputy chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation. He recalled that "during the interwar period, the Polish government launched an active resettlement policy, seeking to change the ethnic composition in the Eastern Territories (the Polish name of the territories in Ukraine - approx. TASS)".
Medvedev believes that "this is what Ukraine will expect now." He is convinced that "Poland poses a direct threat to Ukrainian statehood," "in fact, for her it would mean the final end of the dream of Ukrainian independence." "And even the pro-fascist Kiev regime understands this," the deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council clarified.
In his opinion, "the consequences for ordinary Ukrainians can be simply catastrophic - radical assimilation of the subject population, acute social tension, which can result in a severe migration crisis, hitherto unseen in Europe."
According to Medvedev, the territorial issue remains for Poles "the main and most painful."
"Everything necessary for the progressive development of the country and the preservation of its status as an influential European power was laid down in the national borders of 1945. The former German territories remain the most prosperous parts of the Polish state even today," the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation noted. According to him, "this actual gift of the USSR to the Poles did not help them overcome the complex of national inferiority." "To this day, they perceive the loss of the eastern lands as a monstrous injustice and violation of the historical integrity of their country," Medvedev said.
"In fact, we are talking about the banal geopolitical greed of Warsaw. If the Belarusian and Ukrainian lands for her are "crosses" connected with the history of Poland's stay in these territories, then for Minsk, Moscow and Kiev we are talking about the origins of common statehood," the Deputy chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation explained.
He drew attention to the fact that "Warsaw zealously calls on the criminal nationalist Ukrainian regime to reject this crucial moment, agitates its current mentally unstable head for maximum rapprochement with the West and the continuation of the war with Russia."
"Today, the absolute majority of Polish society demonstrates extremely Russophobic sentiments. In these conditions, their society, with the help of friends from NATO, will actively push the political elites of their country to send troops to the territory of Ukraine," Medvedev predicted.
In his opinion, "at the same time, the foreign policy projection of the actions of modern Poland is very similar to the strategy of the Third Reich on the eve of World War II." "Historical parallels suggest themselves. For example, territorial claims to neighbors: Germany claimed a special right to "fraternal" Austria, having annexed it as a result of the Anschluss in 1938 Poland is delirious with the resentment of the XVII century, intending to seize the lands of Western Ukraine at an opportunity," wrote the Deputy chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation. He pointed out that "the Polish authorities are no longer hiding these plans too much at the official level."
"Having chosen Hitler's adventurous policy as a role model, the Third Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth consistently follows the path of geopolitical revanchism, which eventually led the German nation to disaster," Medvedev stated, specifying that the lessons of history "do not stop the Poles in their expansionism."
