Russian President Vladimir Putin has sparked controversy with his recent remarks regarding the origins of World War II, offering a VERY Russian view of the events. According to Putin, Poland was the nation that provoked the war by being uncompromising, which led Adolf Hitler to initiate his plans against the country on September 1, 1939. Putin's narrative conspicuously omits the Soviet invasion of Poland and frames the situation as Poland forcing Hitler's hand, an interpretation that has raised eyebrows among historians and political commentators.
So now Poland started WWII by being uncooperative, he conviently is forgetting russias role in this. Or is it just the same reason why he invaded Ukraine ? They didnt cooperate with the will of their next door dictator https://t.co/UBIrz7zRnj

Poland turned out to be uncompromising, and Hitler had nothing to do but start implementing his plans with Poland" https://t.co/fx1ODIIZz7
Vladimir Putin’s position is that Poland collaborated with the Nazis, which is why Russia had to ally with the Nazis to…invade Poland
