    I haven’t seen such talking points in polish media, though I’m not that emersed in it. A Polish minister did say Ukraine isn’t thanking Poland enough some time ago, but aside from a map conservapedia pulled out from somewhere and completely lied/misunderstood what it says, that’s it

      Yeah, it’s something I see popping up from time to time and it annoys me every time.

      It almost feels like a losing battle, because “No, Poland isn’t going to reclaim its pre-1939 territories like it’s a cored province in a map game” never sticks, and a few weeks later someone goes and makes a reference to it again.

      Support for such a thing isn’t even widespread among the far-right opposition, while the media, from lib to mainstream fash are all overwhelmingly positive towards Ukraine and eager to sabre-rattle against Russia.

      What Poland does do however, is try to expand its regional influence. Especially in the Baltics the Belarusian opposition (with the hope of them getting into power eventually).
