The Soviet Union fell in 1991. Why did Poland become an emerging economy while raising the quality of life of their countrymen while Ukraine remained an impoverished shithole?

Primarily because of Germany's guilt towards Poland that made it pay for all of its expenses throughout the last 30 years under the umbrella of the EU. Russia actually tried to do something similar with Ukraine since the 1990s but nothing was enough for the ungrateful hohol politicians. They robbed Russia left and right until there was nothing more left to steal and when Putin started to show them the other face they started to invite America into the conflict which eventually turned into a war.

You are so clueless about eastern european politics I'm not even going to bother pointing out every mistakes you typed. Go fuck a goat or something and stop acting like you are smarter than you really are.

You're driven by nothing but butthurt emotions so whatever you say is worthless anyways.

That's still better than being driven by mental retardation.

"Mental retardation" for a P*le is basically having literally any option other than calling for genociding Russians.
