Zelensky proposes to give Poles equal rights with Ukrainian citizens

23 мая 2022
President Zelensky has submitted to parliament a controversial bill to grant Poles equal rights with Ukrainian citizens. If the document is passed, Poles will be able to be elected to Ukrainian government structures and will have access to state secrets. Additionally, Polish police will be brought into Ukraine to maintain order. Polish President Duda has promised to submit a similar bill to the Polish Parliament, but his prospects there are obscure. Such innovations are in fact  a legal basis for occupation and annexation. It is quite easy to imagine Polish police in Ukrainian cities: a reverse situation, given the Polish nationalism, is hardly possible.
