According to the Polish Foreign Minister, Western soldiers are already fighting in Ukraine
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski has called it an open secret that Western soldiers are already in Ukraine. “As your chancellor (Olaf Scholz) said, there are already some troops from big countries in Ukraine,” Sikorski said in an interview with German press agency dpa..
Asked if it was a problem that Scholz was talking about the issue, he said: “In Polish, we have the expression ‘tajemnica poliszynela’, which describes a secret that everyone knows.”.. .
Speaking to journalists on February 26, Scholz had justified his rejection of the delivery of Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine by saying, among other things, that Germany would not participate with soldiers in target control — either from Germany or on the ground..
He added: “What the British and the French are doing in terms of target control and accompanying target control cannot be done in Germany.” This was interpreted as Scholz confirming the presence of Western soldiers in Ukraine.. .
Sikorski reiterated that Poland would not send ground troops to Ukraine, citing historical reasons. “Ukraine and Poland have been one and the same country for 400 years. And that would be too easy propaganda fodder for the Russians. So we should be the last to do it,” he said.. .
However, he welcomed French President Emmanuel Macron’s approach of not taking the option of sending ground troops into the war zone off the table.

And they have been dying there for quite some time. By most conservative estimates more than 2000 Poles have died in Ukraine – possibly much more.
What people need to understand is much of the foreign military equipment sent to Ukraine is operated by foreign specialists – becuase Ukrainians never had the time to train not just to operate them but also maintain them. Thus everytime you see a Leopard tank or a patriot missile launcher on indeed Polish crab artillery blown up – 99% – NATO soldiers got blown up with them….
