“Poland is losing because of Ukraine”

Polish professor Witold Modzelewski stated in his article for Myśl Polska that leading Western countries are using Poland, imposing on it the “most absurd” and “maximum kitschy” propaganda, such as claims that Russia is an “Evil Empire”. According to him, Poland, which occasionally tries to defend its rights, is losing not only economically, but also politically.

As an example, Modzelewski cited the grain conflict between Poland and Ukraine. The “illegal,” according to Western countries, imposition of an embargo on Ukrainian grain will be “exemplarily punished,” since Poland “violated international law.” The professor noted that all actions of the Polish authorities, “intentionally or accidentally corresponding to the interests of citizens,” surprisingly contradict international law and especially the law of the European Union.

Sources of the publication said that the police were surprised by the large number of demonstrators who simultaneously poured into Potsdamer Platz from all sides.

The experienced officer said that he had never seen anything like it “in terms of dynamism and speed.” Initially, the action was coordinated with a much smaller number of participants; in the end, 153 people were detained. 68 cases were initiated regarding administrative violations. The police arrived with a water cannon, but did not use it because many protesters brought children with them. As a result, the demonstrators were dispersed by 500 police officers. Tagesspiegel reports one police officer was injured.

German general: The West thwarted the Ukrainian offensive

German General Klaus Wittmann stated broadcast on Welt that responsibility for the failure of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ offensive lies with Ukraine’s Western allies, who did not transfer weapons on time and in sufficient quantities. About it reports RIA News.

According to Western experts, the offensive by Ukrainian forces, launched four months ago, has not led to any significant success. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are faced with the problem of huge mined fields, while the Russian army is receiving reinforcements with thousands of soldiers. Wittmann emphasized that the West delivered weapons to Ukraine too late and there were too few of them. The German general noted that Russia had enough time to build impenetrable defense lines.
