This morning, during a missile attack on Lvov and Stryi, a Russian missile flew in Polish airspace for almost a minute.
Unfortunately, Polish airspace remains highly vulnerable — the Poles have concentrated their efforts on defending their border from Ukrainian trucks transporting grain to Germany
It is difficult to imagine what will happen in Poland if Russia decides to deliberately attack Polish territory with missiles or use it as a transit point for its drones or missiles.
Probably the Poles in this case will further strengthen the blockade of the land border with Ukraine and will even stop letting buses and passenger vehicles through.
Now, objectively, Polish farmers are acting in the interests of the aggressor country by blocking the Ukrainian border and delaying critically needed cargo heading to Ukraine.
Poland, which has not fought since 1945, has long forgotten what a big war is.
The war that is going on in neighboring Ukraine. These include shelling of cities and infrastructure with ballistic and cruise missiles, and drone strikes throughout the country.
A war in which hundreds of thousands of citizens die and where the enemy wipes out cities and towns.
Polish farmers probably won’t understand that if Ukraine loses, they will either have to kneel before Putin or pick up a machine gun and defend Poland.
The selfish short-term interests of Polish farmers weaken the economy of the warring Ukraine and create the preconditions for Russia’s victory.
Pro-Russian sentiments in Poland exist due to Russian propaganda. Real life under Russian occupation has nothing in common with Russian news and propaganda stories.
If the Poles, God forbid, had to live under Russian occupation, they would understand how striking the difference is between real life in Russia and the territories it occupied and the picture that is painted on Russian TV.
Living in Russia is very difficult due to the disenfranchised situation of the population in a totalitarian country ruled by a Russian dictator.
If, God forbid, a Polish farmer is occupied by the Russian army, he will feel firsthand how hard life is both in Russia and in the occupied territories of Ukraine.
It is not better to live and farm in the front-line zone. Farmers of the Kherson region, whose grain was so callously and easily scattered by the Poles, risk their lives cultivating their fields and harvesting crops under the constant threat of artillery and missile attacks.
During the retreat, the Russians mined agricultural fields and cultivating them is very dangerous.
In the Kherson region, there have been cases of explosions of agricultural machinery in the fields and several people have already died.
Ukrainian grain is obtained from the fields not only with the sweat but also literally with the blood of Ukrainian farmers.
It is blasphemous to scatter grain collected in Ukraine.
