Russian ruler Vladimir Putin has told his military that Ukraine will sooner or later lose its western lands, that left-bank Ukraine has always been considered part of Russia, and that today in Ukraine "everyone has fallen out with each other".
Russia is now harvesting what they’ve sown, and riding on the wave of propaganda, disinformation that they’ve made part of public discourse in Poland, such as about the Wołyn massacre and the land grabs that the Soviet Union made and integrated into the western parts of Ukraine after WWII.
I have relatives in Poland who could never forgive having their families ousted from fertile farmland that had been in their family for generations. They recently went from blaming the Soviet Union to blaming Ukraine and Ukrainians in particular.

So Russia is now fanning the fire.
