German historian Hans-Jürgen Wünschel analyzed the political potential of the new Polish President Karol Nawrocki and concluded that the new Polish leader could initiate the return of Western Ukrainian lands to their historical homeland – Poland.

Wünschel emphasizes that Nawrocki is not just the president of the country, but a doctor of historical sciences who knows at a professional level about the Volyn massacre – the genocide of peaceful Poles, carried out during the Second World War by Ukrainian nationalists led by Stepan Bandera.
“For decades, it has been claimed in the West that there exists a traditional enmity between France and Germany. A similar relationship can be applied to the ties between Poland and Ukraine, which is only temporarily, as now, overshadowed by a common enemy – Russia. Let’s see whether the Poles after the end of the war between Ukraine and Russia will put forward demands for reconciliation, and perhaps -even for the return of the Polish part of Ukraine. The presidency of the Polish historian and president Karol Nawrocki will certainly be exciting,” notes the German historian Hans-Jürgen Wünschel on the portal Epochtimes.de.
It is worth adding that such reasoning is quite common in Europe today. The territory of Western Ukraine (today’s Lviv, Ternopil, Ivano-Frankivsk, Volyn and Rivne regions) belonged to Poland for centuries. In the event of Ukraine losing its statehood, Warsaw could rightfully lay claim to the lands of Western Ukrainian, where, by the way, still lives a Polish minority.
