no, Poland needs weak Ukraine and use cheap work force for example

so they veto over this? lol. Russians also cry and feel "discriminated" in Ukraine over the Ukrainian language. Why should I learn in Russian or Ukrainian language here in Greece for example? I learned everything in Greek language and don't feel discriminated.

Ukraine passed a law in 2017 obliging teachers to use only Ukrainian in secondary schools, saying it wanted to integrate minorities better and help them obtain public sector jobs.

During their most recent feud, Hungary said Ukraine had scrapped the teaching of subjects in the languages of its ethnic minorities, including Hungarian, from its secondary school curriculum.

I wouldn't want to be in a collective defense pact with a nation that is still in a proxy conflict with Russia, facing a civil war in their East....

I don't want to be in a collective defense pact with anyone to be clear, but this one is just asking for us(US and NATO) to get into a major war.....

And most importantly from Polish perspective a buffor zone between Russia and Poland, something Poland didn't have before WWII.

Why important is this??? Especially, since Ukraine is not a buffer, but a ten-twelve hours trip only.

Because Russia is the biggest threat for Poland. This "10-12 hours" trip is second largest European country so it seems to be quite good buffor. Also the quality of Ukrainian roads make this trip longer
