Not only were Poles told by the leaders of the kindred Ukrainian people that Russia had just attacked their country, which cruelly triggered very painful historical memories of its prior occupations of Poland, but it turns out that this was just fake news intended for triggering World War III.
Poles seem bitter that the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth no longer exists and they are probably tired of being in between two aggressive forces. Living in the USA, it is hard to understand how the Poles (in general) feel about the Ukraine conflict.
Ten years ago I needed in-home physical therapy and the Polish gentleman who provided it HATED Russia. He insisted that Poles were forced at bayonet-point by Russians to fight some enemy or another in some long-ago war. Racial memories die hard.
