Thorkill linked Donald Trump's story about a Russian general who exited the highway and got stuck in the mud to the march of the 1st Armored Army towards Pryluky in February 2022. He wrote that Trump first told this story in June 2022 and repeated it the day before the publication of the post, adding details that allowed the author to pinpoint a specific operation. According to Thorkill, on February 25, General Sergey Kisiel ordered the vanguard group of the 1st Motorized Rifle Regiment to leave road number 7 Sumy–Kyiv and bypass Pryluky from the north using local routes. The author stated that the troops reached Kołesznyki, covering approximately 70 km that day, and on February 26, they traveled about 30 km and reached Halych. He blamed the delay on the poor condition of the roads, which were damaged by heavy vehicles. Thorkill assessed that the Russian attack on Pryluky could have succeeded because the Ukrainian defense of the city was still being organized and had little anti-tank weapons and mines, and also lacked artillery or engineers capable of blowing up the bridge on the Uday River. According to the author, Kisiel ordered the attack on the city along road number 7 only on February 27. The Ukrainian positions along the Uday then halted the Russian advance, and the column to the north of Sribne was bombed by Ukrainian Su-24s. The author noted that the potential capture of Pryluky could have facilitated actions for the Russian forces, but would not have directly led to the fall of Kyiv. He wrote that the "Center" Group of Forces was to block the city from the east, while the main strike was led by the "East" Group of Forces from the west. Thorkill stated that the failure of the latter determined the defeat of the Russian operation in Kyiv. He also announced the upcoming publication of a book in English about the battle for Kyiv. #Ukraina #wojna #Kijów (translated)

Michał Fiszer wrote that his income came from military pension, lectures, articles, and occasional assignments such as translations. He added that readers could also support him by buying him coffee. In response to questions about who pays him, he suggested that similar questions should be directed to those praising Russia, among other things, about how they exchange rubles or whether they receive payments in cryptocurrencies. Fiszer estimated that a significant portion of society is susceptible to manipulation. He wrote that about one third, and possibly more, believe in the theory of the Smolensk crash, and 10 percent believe in the existence of a Jewish world government with a secret bunker under Sworne Gacie. He also mentioned people who believe in the harmfulness of vaccines, a flat Earth, or chemtrails, as well as confusing agencies that arose in the Third Republic with institutions from the times of the People's Republic of Poland. He stated that as a lecturer, he is subject to lustration, and his declaration of not cooperating with the services of the People's Republic of Poland has never been questioned. He also wrote that the only party he belonged to was the UPR. Fiszer reiterated the call to rely on information from the president and his office, the prime minister and his office, the Ministry of National Defense, the National Security Bureau, the military, the General Staff, the commands of the armed forces, the police, border guards, and the fire service, as well as the Military Counterintelligence Service, the Internal Security Agency, and the Intelligence Agency in matters related to state security incidents. He also encouraged reliance on science, scientists from reputable universities, and scientific journals. He announced that he expects an attack from internet trolls, and then intends to write about the anti-aircraft guns ZU-23-2 used in Poland and their derivatives, including the Pilica system. In a note, he corrected that in his previous post he referred to a powered paraglider, not an unpowered paraglider. #Bezpieczeństwo #Dezinformacja #Nauka (translated)

Cassiopeia responded to the descriptions that she is "exalted," pointing out that for years she has been engaged in a debate on platform X with key Israeli politicians. She wrote that in an interview for tvn24, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett spoke about the involvement of Poles in the murder and handing over of Jews and about members of his family — his mother and two children — who were said to have been killed by Polish teenagers in Łuków near Siedlce in November 1944 after five years of fleeing from the Germans. Bennett also reportedly spoke about around 200,000 similar families. Cassiopeia stated that she checked the history of the Łuków county. According to her, on 4 and 7 September 1939, the bombing of Łuków killed about 260 Poles and Jews, and on 18 September 1939, the Wehrmacht, in retaliation for alleged shots fired at a German car, executed 34 people in Narutowicz Square and on the streets, and set houses on fire. She also wrote that on 5 October 1940, in Serokomla and Hordzieża, the Wehrmacht and SS executed 28 farmers from Serokomla and 4 Polish soldiers. She described the pacification that took place on 14 April 1940, conducted in retaliation for the alleged murder of the German settler Adolf Käsner's family. The SS, Gestapo from Radzyń and Lublin, and Selbstschutz, including local German colonists, were said to have gathered the residents of Józefów, Bronisławów, Zakęp, Serokomla, Hordzieża, Bielany, Rudy, Wólka, and other villages. According to Cassiopeia, about 215 Poles, including women and children, were executed, and 27 farms were burned. Cassiopeia attributed the extermination of Jews in Łuków county in 1942-43 to the Germans and Ukrainian auxiliary formations. She stated that during the operation from 5-8 October 1942, the gendarmerie, the 101st Reserve Police Battalion, Ukrainians, Latvians, and Lithuanians surrounded the ghetto, and about 4,000 to 5,000 people were gathered at the marketplace on Międzyrzecka Street. About 500 people were said to have died on the spot, including patients from the hospital; children were thrown from the floors onto the pavement, and the rest were taken to Treblinka. She also mentioned the executions in Malcanów on 7 November 1942, including 80-200 children under 5-6 years old, and the execution of 500-600 Jews in December 1942 "to reduce employment." According to her entry, on 2 May 1943, the ghetto in Łuków was liquidated, part of the buildings were set on fire, and 2,000-3,000 people were taken to Treblinka; those hiding were shot for weeks afterward. Cassiopeia also described the liquidation of the ghetto in Stoczek Łukowski on 12 September 1942, where about 3,500 people were to be involved in the action, and about 200 were murdered in the march to Parysów. In Serokomla on 22 September 1942, according to her, about 200-300 Jews were shot at the gravel pit; on 15 October in Krzywda, about 150-240 people died, in the fall of 1942 in Okrzeja about 90-113, on 10 October in Grochówka about 70, and on 28 December in Wola Okrzejska 36, mostly women and children. She added that Jews from Adamów, Wojcieszków, Tuchowicz, Gułów, Stanin, Ulan, and other places were driven to Łuków or shot on the spot, especially the elderly, sick, and those hiding. Among the executions of Poles for helping the AK and NSZ and hiding Jews from 1942-1944, she mentioned the killing of 24 people, including small children, in Budziska and Krzówka on 22 September 1942; 29 people, including 9 children aged from 2 months to 14 years, in Gręzówka on 28 December 1942; and 38 people, including 8 children, in Lędza Wielka on 5 February 1943. She also pointed out crimes in Oszczepalin, Rola, Wojcieszków, Feliksin, Wola Kisielska, Jamielnik, and other places where from a few to several people were dying. She wrote that on 24 July 1944, the Germans bombed Łuków for a week during their retreat, destroying the town center, Cieszkowizna, and Glinki, burning a large part of the city and causing the death of over 200 Poles. She stated that in the materials she cited, she found no information about "Polish teenagers" mentioned by Bennett. In the end, Cassiopeia wrote that although — as she assessed — half of Poland does not feel obliged to support her school, she hopes that at least some people will appreciate her work as a history teacher, which she has been doing for a decade. https://t.co/uYX0ELCMFj #Historia #Polska #Holokaust (translated)

The author recalled that recently someone on X presented as something cool and masculine that a teenager in the Polish countryside can drive a tractor. He wrote at that time that such a situation can only last until someone dies, as — in his opinion — happens in the Polish countryside. He added that the further development of events quickly wrote an epilogue to that discussion. #polska #wieś #młodzież #PL (translated)

Jacek Dobrzyński wrote that PiS publicized the opening of small, four-person police posts in selected villages, while at the same time it closed 10 large, actively functioning branches of the Internal Security Agency across the country. He added that Prime Minister Donald Tusk restored them in 2024 and that they currently effectively ensure the safety of Polish women and men. #PolskaGórą #Polska #bezpieczeństwo #policja (translated)

Adam Gwiazda wrote that in Łosiów in the Opole Voivodeship, a group of several dozen men from Nepal has been accommodated in a private building. According to his post, the police checked their documents and confirmed that they are legally residing in Poland. They were supposed to commute to work in Wrocław, which is 70 km away. Gwiazda reported that residents raised the issue with the village leader, fearing for their safety. The village leader was said to have confirmed the police's information and noted that concerns about safety should not automatically be regarded as xenophobia. The author also wrote that local MP Paweł Kukiz spoke out. Kukiz ironically pointed out that it would be closer to work from Jagodno, while also indicating that the foreigners' stay is legal and the law does not provide grounds for action. According to Gwiazda's account, the MP advocated for a change in the law and the removal of the political class from power, which he blamed for the situation. In the end, he was said to have ironically expressed hope that the Nepalese would live peacefully "in their place on earth." #imigracja #bezpieczeństwo #Polska (translated)
