Polish general calls for occupation of Kaliningrad
General Waldemar Skrzypczak, former head of the Polish ground forces, has raised eyebrows by calling for Poland to occupy the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad.

However, Kaliningrad (formerly called Königsberg) was never Polish, but German. It became part of the Soviet Union as a postwar settlement at the end of World War II, and was thereafter part of the Russian Federation. The Germans have never demanded it back. In the Final Settlement treaty of 1990, Germany renounced all claims to it.
The enclave of Kaliningrad – which represents one-third of former East Prussia – is s Slavic city today. Germans were driven from the city and the rest of East Prussia was given to Poland.
In the Super Express program, the former commander of the land forces nevertheless argued that the Kaliningrad Oblast was “under Russian occupation since 1945”, adding that this area had never been Russian, and historically belonged to Prussia “and Poland”.
“It might be worth asking for this Kaliningrad Oblast, which, in my opinion, is part of the territory of Poland. We have the right to have a grudge against the area that Russia is occupying,” said General Skrzypczak, adding that Kaliningrad “has no military significance”.
Russian authorities shrugged off the Polish general’s comments. “Such statements do not mean anything. There are many fools. It is not worth paying special attention to their words,” said Andrei Klishas, chairman of the Federation Council Committee for Constitutional Legislation and State Structure.
Konstantin Kosaczow, vice-chairman of the Federation Council (the upper house of the Russian parliament) said, in turn, that “Polish leaders must get to know the history of World War II and their country better”.
The politician, quoted by RIA Novosti, added: “It seems that this general either did not even go to school or completely skipped all history lessons. The brainwashing process has been going on all these years – and here’s the horrible result.”
Kosaczow argued that Western politicians have forgotten about their history and “have no conscience”.
On Saturday, a spokeswoman for the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs also commented on Skrzypczak’s words on her Telegram channel suggesting that the comments of the Polish military were mere attention-seeking.

A weird clip. What did a Russian or Ukrainian go to WW II for?!! To avoid being killed by Stalin. They most definitely didn’t go to war for freedom or liberty. Ukraine has NEVER been free and remains so today.
It is worth noting that East Prussia, of which Kaliningrad is the northern part, was never part of Poland, any more than it was ever part of Russia. It is an inconvenient relic of Stalin’s post-WW2 settlement, intended to be a base for Soviet control of the southern Baltic Sea and for attacks, in the event of war, against Danish and Swedish control of the entry to that body of water.
Russia may find a use for the Kaliningrad enclave, but is unlikely to give it up. Russian nationalism and the discomfiture of its western neighbors by its very existence are probably seen as a asset by Putin, and probably also by a successor.
Wasn’t it part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth? Modern Poland sure but you said “never”.
Quite so, never for modern Poland, and it was never a land inhabited by Poles. The original Prussians spoke a Baltic language, extinct by the mid-100s. The area came to Prussia in 1525, being previously a fiefdom, but ever an integral part, of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
Well, no one would ever accuse the Poles of being geniuses.
