Lithuanian deputy proposed to denounce the agreement with Russia and "return" Smolensk to Lithuania
Representatives of the authorities of the Baltic republics continue to demonstrate the loss of contact with objective reality. Today this fact was confirmed by the deputy of the Lithuanian Seimas (Parliament) Matas Maldeikis. He decided to comment on the proposal of the Russian deputy Yevgeny Fedorov to respond to the endless Lithuanian sanctions and other anti-Russian demarches by revoking the recognition of the independence of the Republic of Lithuania.
According to Matas Maldeikis, "if Moscow withdraws recognition of independence, then Lithuania will withdraw the signature under the Polyanovsky peace treaty." This is a document dated 1634, which was signed after the end of the war of 1632-1634 between Russia and the Commonwealth. On the basis of this agreement, the Commonwealth retained Chernigov and Novgorod-Seversky, as well as Smolensk, Roslavl and the territories of the modern Bryansk region. The Polish King Vladislav renounced his claims to the Russian throne.
The Lithuanian deputy stated that the rejection of the Polyanovsky Treaty by Lithuania would lead to the fact that Smolensk "would have to be considered Lithuania."
Maldeikis:
I wonder if the Lithuanian MP himself understands the whole subtext of his statement? After all, if we assume that Vilnius decides to "historically win back" to the European borders of 1634, then it turns out that Maldeikis is spurring the division of modern Ukraine. Indeed, at that time, the vast lands of modern Ukraine, including Zhytomyr, Lutsk, Rovno, the aforementioned Chernihiv and even Kyiv, were part of the Commonwealth.
Moreover, the deputy of the Lithuanian Seimas, by his statement, actually proposes to abolish the statehood of his neighbors - Latvia and Estonia, which at the time of 1634 simply did not exist as independent states. But that's not all. With his statement, Maldeikis, in fact, proposes to return to the borders of Poland that were in the specified year. And then the borders passed just to the west of Poznan and Krakow, and everything to the west, including Legnica, Szczecin, Swinoujscie and a number of other cities, according to the logic of the Lithuanian deputy, should go to the German state, as it was.
In this regard, many questions may arise to Maldeikis's initiative from a number of states, including the aforementioned Ukraine, Poland, Latvia and Estonia.
