Eyeing Ukraine: Kuleba draws stark parallels between Warsaw and Kremlin rhetoric

Some politicians in Poland have adopted language on Ukraine that closely mirrors narratives used for years by Russian propaganda, former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said, according to Radio Svoboda.

However, the diplomat stopped short of equating Poland with Russia, noting that this trend applies only to a segment of the Polish political spectrum rather than official state policy.

Kuleba expressed concern over the use of historical terms and statements by individual Polish politicians that echo Moscow's talking points.

"When I hear references to the Eastern Kresy ("Little Poland"), how does that differ from the Russian "Novorossiya" project? When I hear that Lviv is a Polish city, how does that differ from claims that Kharkiv or Odesa are Russian cities? When Moscow talks about the "denazification" of Ukraine, and now people in Poland are starting to echo this, it raises serious questions," Kuleba noted.

At the same time, the former minister emphasizes that unlike Russia, Poland has the capacity to change this course.
