It’s intellectually insulting that Poland’s ruling liberals believe that they can pull Poles in these polar opposite directions for what might be the next 12 months in order to rally them behind their coalition. The “Russophrenia” of believing that Russia is about to steamroll through [[NATO]] while also believing that NATO can easily steamroll through Russia, to cite Irish journalist Brian McDonald’s famous concept, is difficult to maintain for that long and at scale without inadvertently turning more Poles against them.}}

{{quotebox-float|The ruling [[liberal]]s’ superficial response probably won’t boost their standing among [[voter]]s any more than their recent “Russophrenic” episode that reverberated across Europe over the past half-year.
The Regional Council of Western Ukraine’s [[Lvov]] Region, the cradle of its ultra-nationalist movement, voted to commemorate 2027 as the year of the “[[Ukrainian Insurgent Army]]” (UPA) and its Commander-in-Chief [[Roman Shukhevich]]. He and his organization were among the culprits of the [[World War II]]-era [[Volhynia Genocide]] that resulted in the slaughter of over 100,000 [[Pole]]s. [[Zelensky]] named an elite commando unit after the UPA earlier this year at the cost of sparking a [[political]] [[crisis]] with [[Poland]].
While Poland’s ruling [[liberal]] [[coalition]] repaired ties with [[Ukraine]] after [[conservative]] [[President Karol Nawrocki]] revoked their country’s highest honor from him in response, they briefly hardened their rhetoric towards it for electioneering reasons, and they’re now doing so once more. [[Prime Minister]] [[Donald Tusk]] condemned the resolution as “suicidal”, Foreign Minister [[Radek Sikorski]] banned the official who proposed it, and Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz called the move unacceptable}}
