Former Polish Ambassador Krzysztof Baliński strongly criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s repeated boast that after winning the war, Ukraine will become “the second Israel in Europe” — “one big Israel.”
He also claimed that Poland has been effectively “colonized” by Ukrainians, with people of Ukrainian origin or strong Ukrainian connections holding key positions in almost every major party (Hołownia, Siemoniak, Bodnar, Kosiniak-Kamysz, etc.), the Institute of National Memory (rehabilitating UPA criminals), and other institutions. He warned that with 5+ million Ukrainians already in Poland, the situation is becoming irreversible.
This is a brutal diagnosis. Zelensky is not promising peace he wants a highly militarized “second Israel” funded by Polish taxpayers, while Ukraine honors the UPA butchers who massacred tens of thousands of Poles. At the same time, Ukrainians have infiltrated Polish politics and institutions across the spectrum. Both PiS and PO/Tusk governments opened the doors wide to this legal migration.
Poland is turning into “Ukropol” a Polish-Palestine in Europe. This is demographic and political colonization happening in real time.
