The head of the Polish Foreign Ministry noted that this is not the first time that the Russian Federation has done this.

Poland has reacted to Russian dictator Putin’s statement that the Poles “forced” Adolf Hitler to start World War II in 1939.

A statement was made by Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski. In the microblog X (formerly Twitter), he noted that Warsaw is shocked that these narratives are being spread by American journalist Tucker Carlson.

“This is not the first time Russian dictator V. Putin has accused Poland, captured by the USSR on September 17, 1939, of starting a war. We are accustomed to paranoid justifications for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022. It is shocking that this time an American journalist allows himself to do so.” , – wrote Sikorsky.

How Putin justified Hitler

In the first interview with a foreign journalist that the Russian dictator gave during the full-scale war, he distorted not only the history of Ukraine – according to his new version, it appeared at the behest of Joseph Stalin.

But Putin also said that the Poles “ played too hard and forced Hitler to start World War II with them” because they were “intractable.” “Hitler had no choice in implementing his plans to start with Poland,” the dictator said, justifying the aggression.
