VIDEO: Putin says Poland has forgotten that the Poland’s western territories were a gift from Stalin, but that Russia will remind Poland of it

Putin says Poland has forgotten that the Poland’s western territories were a gift from Stalin, but that Russia will remind Poland of it.

The Belarusian Defense Ministry said Wagner mercenaries have started training Belarusian special forces at a military range near the border with Poland.

Ukraine’s UNIAN agency reported that the sessions are expected to last for a week at a training ground near Brest, where troops of the Belarusian Special Operations Forces, representatives of the Wagner Group are based.

Between 2,500 and 3,000 soldiers from the Wagner Group may be in Belarus, said ex- Belarusian ambassador to Poland Pavel Latushka.

Blasczak said last week that Poland had begun moving over 1,000 troops to the east of the country. Warsaw is also sending 500 police officers to boost security at the border.

People living near the Belarusian border have reportedly been able to hear shooting and helicopters from across the border.

Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that the western territories of Poland are a “gift from Stalin,” and Poland should be grateful to the USSR for “restoring its independence.”

During a meeting with permanent members of the Security Council, Putin mentioned reports about discussions on the creation of a Polish-Lithuanian-Ukrainian union, which he interpreted as a “threat of occupation of Western Ukraine.” He asserted that this would not be something new, recalling events from the 20th century.

“I want to remind you what aggressive policies led Poland to in the past. It ended tragically in 1939 when Poland was abandoned by its Western allies to the German war machine and practically lost its independence and sovereignty, which was largely restored thanks to the USSR. It was thanks to the Soviet Union and Stalin’s position that Poland received significant territories in the West, German lands. Yes, the western territories of modern-day Poland are Stalin’s gift to the Poles,” said the President of Russia.
