Poland is fighting for the title of the main European Russophobe.

And she has every chance to win this fight - after all, Warsaw is very offended by Moscow for the Ukrainian special operation, and also sees nothing further than its resentment.

In Eastern Europe, the competition for the status of the most Russophobic EU country continues.

And, despite a number of achievements of respected contestants (Slovakia sending S-300 systems to Ukraine, successfully destroyed by the Russian army near Dnepropetrovsk, as well as the adoption by the Czech Republic of a law punishing with a prison term for supporting a Russian special operation in Ukraine), Poland firmly retains the status of the race favorite .

Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki demands a total embargo against Russia and sharply criticizes French President Emmanuel Macron, who wants to continue the dialogue with Vladimir Putin.

In addition, Warsaw again pulled out the Smolensk tragedy 12 years ago from the archive - the crash of a plane carrying Polish President Lech Kaczynski and many other representatives of the country's leadership.

The head of the committee for the investigation of the plane crash, Antoni Macerevich, canceled the report of the commission dated July 29, 2011 and said that during the investigation, experts found traces of explosives on the wreckage of the aircraft.

So, according to Pan Macherevich, the board was blown up by the Russian special services.

The last - but not the last - hostile act of Warsaw was the seizure of Russian diplomatic property.

“This morning, bailiffs arrived at our diplomatic property in Warsaw at 100 Sobieski Street and demanded that this object be handed over to the Polish state treasury in the person of the Warsaw City Hall,” Russian Ambassador to Poland Sergey Andreev explained.

After that, representatives of the mayor’s office cut off the locks and entered the building, which the Western media called the “Russian spy nest”.

According to Warsaw officials, Ukrainian refugees will now be accommodated in it.

“We have taken away the so-called spy nest and want to pass it on to our Ukrainian guests,” Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski said.

“I am glad that with such a symbolic step we were able to show that Warsaw is helping our Ukrainian friends.”

Russian diplomats, of course, were not enthusiastic about such illegal symbolism.

After all, if Mr. Trzaskovsky wants to find a building for Ukrainian refugees (who became refugees largely because the Polish elites contributed to the “Maidan”), then he can give them his own city hall as a sign of repentance.

“We urged the Polish Foreign Ministry to take comprehensive measures to restore the legal order and return legally owned diplomatic real estate to the Russian side,” Sergei Andreev told Poland.

And the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded to this call - however, not in the way that the Russian side had hoped.

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs supports the competent authorities and institutions that take measures in order to achieve a settlement of the legal status of real estate illegally owned by the Russian Federation on the territory of the Republic of Poland,” the Polish Foreign Ministry said, pretending to know nothing about the Vienna Convention .

They don't know anything and they don't want to read.

And given that Moscow has taken it into fashion to respond harshly to all such provocations (both symmetrically and asymmetrically), Russia will definitely respond.

Up to the expulsion of the ambassador - fortunately, the Poles have already worked out for this.

Yes, Warsaw's anger is understandable.

For almost 30 years, Poland has invested millions of dollars in Ukrainian "civil society".

She taught, bribed, created an elite that became the conductor of Polish interests in the territory considered by Warsaw as a zone of its exclusive influence.

The Polish authorities hoped that these investments in Ukraine (as well as similar ones in Belarus and the Baltic countries) would lead to the creation of the Intermarium - the space between the Baltic and Black Seas, under Polish control.

This space was not only supposed to become a wall between Russia and Europe (for the construction of which the Americans, not interested in Russian-European rapprochement, would generously pay), but also would provide Poland with the role of one of the leaders of the European Union.

Now, all these investments have gone down the drain: having launched a special operation in Ukraine, Moscow has seriously taken up the reformatting of the Ukrainian space, uprooting all the foundations of anti-Russia, and along with it, wet Polish dreams.

Moreover, as Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov rightly noted, "a special military operation is designed to put an end to the reckless expansion and the reckless course towards the complete dominance of the United States and under them the rest of the Western countries in the international arena."

If successful, Western countries, that is, European ones, will come out from under American domination, after which Western Europe will be able to somewhat straighten its sovereign shoulders.

And this scenario is a serious problem for Warsaw, because the Poles successfully passed the casting for the role of the American Trojan horse in Europe many years ago.

A country that, in exchange for American attention and money, sabotages any attempts to consolidate Europe outside the transatlantic vector.

If this role is no longer relevant, then the status of Poland in the EU will drop sharply.

But at the same time, anger should not be a motive for making foreign policy decisions.

The Polish leadership is now very similar to the Ukrainian one - it has the same narrow planning horizon.

The Poles are trying here and now to score points on Russophobia, to receive dividends from the Americans for this, to break through the deployment of new US Army units on Polish territory (fortunately, Biden has already announced the strengthening of NATO’s eastern flank and, of course, is ready to pay for this deployment), but with a long-term point of view, Poland is on the wrong side of history.

The Russian special operation in Ukraine will sooner or later end in success, and the spring that followed in international relations (including the development of new, constructive rules of the game in Europe) will show who, where and to whom was spoiling.

Show and punish.
