To put this into perspective, let's consider a family 2+2 with 1 living grandparent. In the case of ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ this means that by the end of #WWII ๐จ๐ง๐ž family member would have been killed by either a ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช or a ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บโ€ผ๏ธ

During #WWII ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑsuffered the greatest personal&material losses out of all ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ. >5mln ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ lost their lives. ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ lost huge opportunities for development. Experts est. losses at $1.3t. These losses have never been compensated

#ReparationsForPoland @arekmularczyk
"๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ's #WWII losses are estimated to be $1.5 mln (as of Dec 2021) and are subject to revaluation. It is thus in ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช's best interest to settle the this debt ASAP so to avoid paying interest & late fees"

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ medics are providing surgical care to war casualties from ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ at a hospital in the southern ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ city of Czeladลบ. The initiative is part of the ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Surgical Aid Programme (CUSAP)

#PolandFirstToHelp #BeLikePoland #BeLike๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ @ YAmzallagh @Battlemoose01 @MelanieLake @MriyaReport
Based at the Czeladลบ hospital, 30 volunteer nurses, anesthesiologists & surgeon specialists from ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ are treating ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ soldiers as well as civilians who have become casualties of the war. The ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ team is supported by ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ& ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ medical professionals, including ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ doctors who speak ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ&๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Image
The Czeladลบ hospital currently houses the first group of 18 ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆpatients.
Prof Antonyshyn from the @UofT, who leads the ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ medical team, told @PAP_eng that the patients had โ€œhorrible injuriesโ€ from ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ gun fire or bomb explosions. Image

๐Ÿฆ€ โ€” a priceless "crustacean" of @DefenceU & an example of ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ army modernization, a ๐Ÿงต:

First, some comic relief with the courtesy of @19Daro45 (with minor touch ups from yours truly ๐Ÿ˜‰)

Ps. @PGZ_pl, this one is for you โ€” @19Daro45's work is @ClioAwards worthy ๐Ÿ†
In June, ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ gov't signed a $65mln contract with ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ for 72 ๐Ÿฆ€ Krab howitzers, of which the first 18 have been "donated" ๐ŸŽ. In August @CNN reported that the Polish Krabs play a significant role in ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ defense, showing ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ soldiers praising the accuracy & modernity of the ๐Ÿฆ€s.

#Poland announced that it would like to purchase 96 AH-64E Apache helicopters from ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ. The whopping, near-triple digit order would replace the countryโ€™s fleet of Mi-24 Hind helicopter gunships and would also make ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ the largest #Apache operator besides the ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Army. #BeLikePoland
Aย statement from @BoeingDefense said that they were "honored the Government of ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ has selected the AH-64E Apache for the #Polish Armed Forcesโ€™ new attack helicopter fleet."

#BeLikePoland #BeLike๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ #militaryspending boeing.mediaroom.com/news-releases-โ€ฆ
It added that โ€œan Apache selection strengthens ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ military ties by enhancing interoperability and cooperation between ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ, ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Army & NATO nations. During the procurement process, Boeing established significant cooperative partnerships across ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ government & industry...

Fr. #Popieล‚uszko โ€” ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ priest, martyr & hero. A ๐Ÿงต

When Communist officials kidnapped & killed Fr Popieล‚uszko, they likely did not intend to help create a ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ hero, martyr & future saint

@AleteiaPl @AleteiaEN @ks_Marcin_J @ekaipl #PolishHistory @EpiskopatNews @Abp_Gadecki @ekaipl
Jerzy Popieล‚uszko was born #OTD in 1947 to a farming family in Okopy, a village in eastern #Poland bordering modern-day #Ukraine. While #WWII had ended, the regime of the Communist Party had taken place of the ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช and ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ occupants and ruled ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ at the time. Image
As a young man, Popieล‚uszko served his required time in the army before completing seminary studies and becoming a priest for the Archdiocese of Warsaw. He was ordained on May 28, 1972 at the age of 24. Image

"We agreed with #Putin that @Gas in ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ-๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ relations should be a well-understood common interest rather than a subject of politics."
โ€” Donald Tusk

Soon after ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ invaded #Georgia and the construction ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ #NordStream pipeline began

#Poland #RussiaIsATerroristState #energysecurity
*just to clarify:
this "magnanimous consensus" took place "soon after ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ invaded #Georgia and the construction ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ #NordStream pipeline began" and not the other way around โ€ผ๏ธ
