Ukraine war is very serious.

After Poland managed to collapse communist regime in partially free elections in 1989 where all elected sits went to democratic opposition the whole Soviet Union collapsed. Ukraine declared independence in 1991, all regions of Ukraine decided to stay with Ukraine in national referendum.

In 1991 Polish and Ukraine GDP were about equal, both countries have around 40 million citizens.

Poland immediately turned towards West. We rapidly liberated our economy - Balcerowicz reforms. We aimed at joining NATO and EU as guarantees of our independence from Soviets/Russia. After invading Poland in 1939 with Germans, last Russian soldiers left Poland in 1993. We joined NATO in 1999 and EU in 2004.

Ukraine on the other hand was divided between West and East.

In 2021 Polish economy was 3 times bigger than Ukrainian. More than million Ukrainians were economic migrants in Poland.

We made the right choice with turning immediately towards West with full force. Ukraine stumbled.

But they saw that Poland is doing so much better than they were doing. That's why they wanted to join EU. That's what started Euromajdan.

Now Russia is threatening all of us with nuclear holocaust. Every other month you can hear from the highest Russian leadership nuclear threats.

We have lost 20% of population in WWII started by Germany and Soviet Russia. Every fifth person killed.

We are taking Russian holocaust threats 100% seriously.
