Whatever label Moscow gives it, the historical record remains clear: the USSR invaded Poland under its secret deal with Nazi Germany to divide Eastern Europe.
Call it what you like. It was an invasion.

Moscow calls the Soviet invasion of Poland a ‘military operation’, the Kremlin’s favourite euphemism for military aggression against its neighbours.

With the Kremlin having eliminated even the possibility of voting against the war in Ukraine and carefully curated who is allowed on the ballot, Russia’s predetermined State Duma elections begin today.

It is the fundamental error of the West to assume Putin is looking for a way out. He thinks he just has to hold on a little longer, and then everything will be fine.

actually it wouldn't. The RU sanctions bill is theoretically designed to stop exactly the kinds of deals the Trump circle appears to want with RU. But it also allows the president to issue waivers, so Trump could sign the act, do the deals, and issue waivers that cover them.
