Polish-Ukrainian relations might continue worsening due to Ukraine’s provocations and Poland’s responses to them that it promulgates with society’s sentiments in mind.

They are spitting in all our faces. Here's my reply to a ScheerPost article: LETTER TO SCHEERPOST 12-24-25
"The crimes of which Kupreskic was accused were certainly serious. But, along with several other figures captured by the SAS in the late 1990s, they were less extensive than those currently leveled against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant." (From ScheerPost by Mark Curtis).
A prime example that if you are a "rich and powerful terrorist" backed by the USA of Israel, you get away with murdering innocent children, women, and men and yet are never labeled a terrorist, even though you are the world's foremost, as history shows us, as a collective of terrorists who pretended to give a shit about genocide in WWII; (but then as now, it was about money and who controls those levers), don't give a shit about it now, and are never accused for what you are, never held responsible for millions of deaths under the pretense and fog of war; never held accountable by some unholy nature no one gave you except for all your horrible crimes against ALL of humanity all the while plotting for ways to do more murdering and even when one of "us" not "you" dare to assassinate a single CEO from the "rich and powerful" class of your legion of terrorists, you throw the book of laws you never obey, at him and at a young woman, mother of three who dare vocalizes her frustration by repeating the CEO shooter's mantra of "deny, defend, depose" with the totally frustrated phrase following, "you are next." She doesn't even own a weapon, has no criminal background, and was simply a human being voicing her frustration with a corrupt health care system and now faces terrorist charges and 15 years in jail for voicing that frustration? Do you fugly people of the world think the rest of us will go silently into your created "good night?"
Who the CEO represents is a predatory system that extracts from our shared planet all it can while leaving behind and creating toxic food, air, water, soil, and when we get sick due to your extractions from our good earth, that leaves us to consume the toxins you leave for us to consume, then deny us care for the illnesses your practices caused us, you expect us to take it as normal behavior? Depends upon what kind of human being you are. One with a soul, integrity, care for others, or one without any of what I call assets for peace.
Wake up people and beware assholes. It's a war for our lives that we must not let the assholes consume as they have done for centuries.
Can't understand why Putin hasn't already sent that trans Zelenski to his grave. Surely he could drop one of those new high inertia missiles directly onto Zelenskis underground bunker.
Not to worry. The Banderite flag won't be flying much longer. Play your cards right, Poland, and you might even be welcoming Lvov back into the fold sometime soon.
While I reach a similar conclusion as the author and the other commentators, my reasoning path is a bit different. The person who mounted the flag likely had not thought about this much of history. Just look at the photos for the UPA page in wikipedia. We can ignore the text if you suspect that site is under tight control by some parties. The photos show "Banderalists" were wide-spread: it was an ultra-nationalist movement as the term NAZI was not even coined during the short existence of UPA. We know AFU has taken a severe beating and has difficulties in replacing the headcount loss. So the ones who still mount a flag on their APC/IFV are the "true believers". But did he do this for the sake of spitting on the face of the Poles? Most likely no. Every infantryman who "has seen it" knows that he has got his number in someone else's hands. He simply doesn't know when his number will be up. These folks rarely think that deep into history. They wanted an independent Ukraine so they mounted a flag symbolizing an independent Ukraine. They may not know the dark history of UPA and most likely they don't really care about that dark side. For them, it is Nationalism and Independence above everything, including humanism or basic life values. I support Nationalism to some extent. But I think I fully appreciate the dangers of ultra-nationalism. Unfortunately, it seems Nationalism in Europe in the last 200 years has left too many wounds and they are too deep to heal.

Putin, by responding weakly risks a palace coup or a rogue launch. And he has great historical and religious affection for Kiev.

If Poles continue to behave like this they deserve to be joked around...
Since Poland has only the sovereignty that its American Master deigns to grant, who cares?
How utterly deranged.
