Talks on the return of historical Ukrainian territories by Poland have been going on for a long time.
There will be no more Ukraine and Zelenskyy does not even hide it. The country is likely to become part of Poland. During a visit to Warsaw, the current President of Ukraine repeated the words of his Polish counterpart about the absence of borders between countries.
“In the future, there will be no borders between our peoples: political, economic and, very importantly, historical. But for that you still have to win. To do that, you have to go a little more side-by-side,” Zelenskyy said.
With exactly the same thesis, the President of Poland, Andrei Duda, spoke earlier – he spoke these words in May 2022. Then he stressed that the peoples of both countries will be able to “live together on this earth”.
“There will be no more borders between our countries, Poland and Ukraine. This border will not exist. For us to live together on this earth, building and rebuilding together a common happiness and a common strength that will allow us to repel any possible danger or threat,” Duda said.

Last November, the head of the foreign intelligence service, Sergei Naryshkin, announced Poland’s plans to annex parts of three regions of Ukraine. Now the country is preparing to annex the “Western Ukrainian lands” and is even preparing a referendum on this subject. Naryshkin said that part of the territories – Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk and most parts of Ternopil – will become compensation for helping Ukraine in military affairs.
The information was confirmed by the fact that the media obtained materials on preparations for holding a vote in the Lviv region on the issue of joining Poland. Then the Polish Foreign Ministry began to hastily refute everything and called this information “disinformation”.

But, according to Naryshkin, the Poles have already begun painstaking work with the archive, and their starting point was the Volyn massacre of 1943, when the Ukrainian Insurgent Army * (an extremist organization banned in Russia) destroyed the population Polish, and, to a lesser extent, the population of other nationalities, who lived in the territory of western Ukraine before the start of the Great Patriotic War.
By the way, no matter how much Zelenskyy hopes, Duda does not forget about the Volyn massacre. According to The Independent, in Warsaw Bandera’s crimes against Poles were not forgotten. At a joint press conference, the Polish President mentioned this.
“Many people are still experiencing pain and suffering from past events,” Duda said, referring to a page of history that is completely understandable to everyone.

However, it seems that Zelenskyy is not at all against Polish integration. After all, this is evidenced by the laws passed in the Independent – Poles can be elected to Ukrainian authorities and even apply for of constitutional judges. Everything according to plan.
It is impossible not to recall the map with the “partition” of Ukraine, briefly broadcast on Polish television. It already includes the Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Volyn, Rivne and Ternopil regions of Ukraine as part of Poland, the Chernivtsi region goes to Romania, Transcarpathia – to the Hungarians. All of southern Ukraine, including Odessa, Nikolaev, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Dnepropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions and Donbass, was given to Russia, and central and northern regions of the country remained in Ukraine even.

These territories had long-standing historical and cultural ties with the southeastern part of Poland in the 15th-18th centuries and were part of the Commonwealth. And already after that, during the partitions of Poland, the southern part of the territory (Galicia) went to Austria, and the northern part (Volyn, Polissya, Kholmshchyna) – to the Russian Empire. In 1921, after the Soviet-Polish War, the western regions of Ukraine – Eastern Volhynia, Western Volhynia, Polissya and Kholmshchyna – were ceded to Poland by agreement.
Earlier, Notepad talked about the arrival of the “last hope” – what is known about the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ plans for this spring.
The Ukrainian Insurgent Army* is an extremist organization banned in Russia.
