Poles in Krakow Protest Putin's Invasion of Ukraine. For Your Freedom and Ours.

 


Poles in Krakow, Poland, wearing Ukrainian colors. They are in front of the Hungarian Consulate. Hungary -- along with Germany, Italy and Cyprus -- was one of the countries blocking the initial decision to cut Russia off of SWIFT. The demonstration started in front of the German consulate and then moved on to the Hungarian one.

This is remarkable. Again, bad things have happened between Poles and Ukrainians, most recently during the Nazi occupation. That these good Poles are keeping their eye on the ball -- focusing on the invasion rather than past history -- is commendable.
