Janusz Korwin-Mikke on 25 August 2026 stated that Russia, weakening Ukraine, besides acts in the interests of Poland. The politician referred to the demographic, industrial and military possible of Ukraine before the war and the cult of Stepan Bandera. For Poland specified a thesis means trying to present Russian aggression as a useful tool, although the increase in Moscow's power hits our security.
Korwin-Mikke sees an advantage in weakening Ukraine
Janusz Korwin-Mikke wrote on August 25 on X that Russia is besides fighting for Poland. As reported by the portal ultimate Time!, the politician reserved that he had been dreaming of an independent Ukraine for 60 years. However, the core of his speech was the belief that a strong Ukrainian state could become a threat to the Republic in the future.
According to the figures mentioned in the entry, Ukraine was expected to have 43 million citizens in 2013 after being deducted from Crimea. Korwin-Mikke besides pointed to Donbas, the Corner Curve, developed agriculture and the manufacture inherited from the ZSRS. He claimed that Ukroboronprom himself had then sold weapons for $1.68 billion. This is an argument from potential, but possible is not yet political intention.
Bandera does not justify Russian aggression
The politician considered the growth of Ukrainian nationalism as a origin of danger. As an crucial signal, he pointed out to Stepan Bandera the title of Hero of Ukraine and the subsequent withdrawal of this decision for the presidency of Viktor Yanukovych. The memory of the genocide committed in Poles by the CNS-UPA is not negotiable. Poland has the right to request the truth, to exhume, to bury its victims and to reject the cult of criminal formations.
This does not mean that the Russian war serves Poland. Tough talk with Kiev about Volyn can go hand in hand with Russia's designation of a common opponent. This discrimination is the basis of mature politics. There is no request to whitewash the flagism to see the imperial nature of the Kremlin's actions.
Crimea and the border of Russian revisionism
Korwin-Mikke's entry portrays Crimea as a territory that declared independency and joined the Russian Federation. specified a expression ignores the essential fact: the peninsula was occupied by Russia in 2014, and The UN General Assembly confirmed the territorial integrity of Ukraine and declared the referendum in Crimea invalid. On February 24, 2022 Russia began a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Russian revisionism does not halt due to the fact that Poles have their own historical disputes with Ukrainians. Moscow uses force to decision borders, subjugates its neighbours and carries out actions aimed at European countries. Recruiting people for sabotage in the European arms industry shows that Kremlin's force goes far beyond the front in Ukraine.
Realism must start with the Polish reason
Korwin-Mikke has been building his position for years to undermine the lost abroad policy assessments. In 2025 registered a group under the name Confederation, and his statements proceed to rise disputes on the right. However, intellectual provocation cannot replace the power bill.
The Polish business requires 2 things at once: an absolute defence of the fact about the crimes of the CNS-UPA and a failure to let Russia to rebuild the dominance region in Central and east Europe. Strong Ukraine can be a hard partner for Warsaw. Winning and increasing Russia would be a much more immediate threat.
The Kremlin does not wage war on our behalf. He runs it for his own empire. Poles should not give Moscow the right to decide which states between the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea are to be strong, weak or independent. That's what sovereignty is if we take it seriously.
