Details
In particular, Sikorski is not surprised by the provocative statement about Poland's role in World War II. At the same time, the Polish minister noted that he did not expect such statements to be made by an American journalist.
This is not the first time that russian dictator Vladimir putin has accused Poland, which was invaded by the USSR on September 17, 1939, of starting World War II. We are used to paranoid justifications for russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. What is shocking is that this time they were used by an American journalist
Context
On February 6, an American journalist arrived in russia to interview putin. During the conversation, the russian dictator accused the Poles of Nazi Germany's attack on Poland in 1939.
The Poles forced them, they flirted with them, and yet they forced Hitler to start World War II with them. Why did the war begin on September 1, 1939, with Poland? It turned out to be intractable. And Hitler had no choice but to start with Poland in the realization of his plans
Recall
EU spokeswoman criticized putin's "Western" interview, saying he repeated old lies and showed even more hostility to the West without offering real steps toward peace in Ukraine.
