“They are leading to the collapse of the country.” Patrushev announced the beginning of the “capture” of Western Ukraine by Poland

The Secretary of the Security Council of Russia Nikolai Patrushev believes that Poland and the West made an offer of rapprochement with Kiev in the hope of seizing Western lands.

“It seems that Poland is already taking action to seize lands in western Ukraine,” Patrushev said, adding that the West has “special plans” on Ukrainian soil.

According to him, Kiev’s partners can take advantage of the current situation “for selfish interests.”

“The visit of the President of Poland to Kyiv was a vivid confirmation of this. [Анджея] Along with their statement that the Polish-Ukrainian border will soon end,” Duda said.

According to him, several states are working on the “fragmentation” of Ukraine, and the actions of the United States and its allies lead to the collapse of the country.

Patrushev noted that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, on the one hand, “declared the inhabitants of Donbass to be separatists and conducts military operations with them”, but at the same time gave the Poles a special status, including the opportunity to hold high-level government posts.

“The sovereignty of Ukraine, let alone the United States and its allies, who are ready to sacrifice the interests of the Ukrainian people to achieve their geopolitical goals, does not bother the head of state … Their actions lead to a real collapse. country,” says the Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation.

Patrushev reiterated that the objectives of special operations will be “achieved”.

“The justified demands of Russia for security guarantees, the plans of the Kyiv regime to change the status of a non-nuclear power and join NATO, the information received about the preparations for hostilities in the Donbass and an attack on Russia – all these threats were completely ignored. forced us to take preventive measures and launch a special military operation” – recalled the Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation. According to him, documentary evidence of such plans of Kiev was obtained during the military operation.

Earlier, Patrushev had already stated that the policy of Western countries and Kiev can lead to the division of Ukraine into several states. According to him, the American authorities decided to create an antipode to Russia and chose Ukraine for this, trying to “actually divide a single people.”

Control over “historical properties”

Earlier, the head of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, Sergei Naryshkin, claimed that the Polish and US authorities are developing a plan to establish military-political control over it. “historical features” Warsaw is on the territory of Ukraine.

He believes that at the first stage, Polish troops should enter the western regions of Ukraine under the pretext of protection against Russian aggression. According to the head of the Foreign Intelligence Agency, the mission will take place without NATO mandate, but with the participation of “willing states”.

Naryshkin’s words about Warsaw’s intention to annex western Ukraine to Poland were called an attempt to sow lies and distrust. Stanislav Zharin, the minister’s press secretary, coordinator of Polish intelligence services, noted that “the lie about Poland’s plans to attack Western Ukraine has been repeated for several years.”

Former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, who fled to Russia in 2014, also believes that the Ukrainian authorities made a mistake by approaching Poland. According to him, this could lead to the de facto unification of the two countries.

“As painful as it is for me to write this today, the Ukrainian state is in extreme danger. It is in danger of complete extinction. “At the same time, we are not just talking about the risk of losing huge territories in the south and east of the country,” Yanukovych said.

According to him, Ukraine will have to go to de facto unification with Poland. According to Yanukovych, the reason for such a merger may be “the threat of economic bankruptcy”. [Киева] protect sovereignty.

The special status of Poles in Ukraine

On 22 May, the President of Poland proposed a new friendship treaty between Warsaw and Kyiv, and also stated that the border between the two countries should not be divided.

In response, Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced a draft law that would create a special legal status for Polish citizens on the territory of Ukraine.

This will work similarly to Poland, where temporarily displaced persons from Ukraine are de facto equated with Polish citizens, but without voting rights.

“We are relatives. And there should be no borders or barriers between us. The peoples of Ukraine and Poland have not shared borders mentally for a long time. Therefore, in the near future we decided to turn this into a suitable bilateral agreement.” said.

At the end of March, Duda amended the law on assistance to Ukrainians, which stipulates that Ukrainian citizens who had to leave the country due to the conflict can legally stay in Poland for 18 months from February 24. This applies to those who will stay in this country. They will then be given a temporary residence permit.

Maria Zakharova, the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, described Zelensky’s attempt to give the Poles a special status as a “sovereignty event” and said that the Ukrainian authorities “actively trashed” their independence, “legalized the actual seizure”. of your country.”
