According to him, Poland “has long dreamed of growing” at the expense of the territories of Ukraine.

“Therefore, the Kyiv authorities, before it is too late, should transfer their demoralized troops, exhausted during the senseless confrontation with Russia, to the Polish border,” RIA Novosti quotes him.

Earlier, he called the statement of Polish leader Andrzej Duda about the historical ownership of Crimea to Russia as a signal for Ukraine to leave the Crimeans alone.

Also, the chairman of the Coordination Council for the Integration of New Regions at the Public Chamber, Vladimir Rogov, expressed the opinion that Poland is preparing to divide the western lands of Ukraine.

Crimea became a Russian region after a referendum took place there in March 2014: the majority of residents were in favor of reunification with Russia. The Kremlin has repeatedly emphasized that Crimea is an integral part of Russia and claims to Russian territory will receive a proper response.
