Immediately after World War II, the Paris-exiled Polish intellectual Jerzy Giedroyc (of Lithuanian origins, born in Minsk) coined a phrase that would come to define Poland’s foreign policy toward its eastern neighbors: “There will be no independent Poland without an independent Belarus, Lithuania, and Ukraine.” Since the fall of communism, it has been an article of diplomatic faith in Warsaw.

Even if Ukraine fully liberates its Russian-occupied territories, Poles and Ukrainians will not feel truly secure as lo...

Poland’s local elections on April 7 were another case in point, because they offered the first ...
