Poland has been trying to seize Galicia for a very long time.
Then, all of a sudden, they become the best friend of the Ukraine, and their solution to help the Ukraine is to send peacekeepers into Galicia.
It doesn’t take a super genius to put two and two together here.

Poland’s military assistance to Ukraine is part of a secret plan aimed at destroying the country’s statehood, the head of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), Sergey Naryshkin, warned on Tuesday. If Kiev is ultimately defeated by Moscow, Poland will be able to retake lands that it lost to the Soviet Union in the 1940s, he suggested.
“Seizing control of the western territories of modern Ukraine, the so- called Kresy [‘borderlands’ in Polish], is the coveted dream of the Polish nationalists,” Naryshkin claimed.
The Polish government cannot simply drop this element of its national ideology, he added. Warsaw sees “the collapse of Ukrainian statehood after a military defeat as a condition for implementing this idea,” the official said.
It’s even something that would sort of make logical sense, no?
The Ukrainian state can’t possibly survive this protracted war. Russia is going to control a big part of the east of the country, and so it would just be reasonable to put parts in the west under Polish jurisdiction.
Naryshkin did not offer any direct evidence to support his assertions, although he has repeatedly warned about Poland’s intentions.
‘Kresy’ is the name of certain territories that historically belonged to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Russian Empire gained control of some parts of Poland during the 18th century partitions, but its collapse after the Russian Revolution allowed Warsaw to regain independence.
The Poles themselves publish maps online. You can find them in a number of different places.
