On 25 Aug 1993, Russian President Yeltsin declared that Russia had no objection to Poland joining NATO: “In the European perspective, such a decision of sovereign Poland, oriented towards pan-European integration, is not contrary to the interests of other states, including the interests of Russia”

It’s *known* he was always happy to give a toast and have a drink. You, panowe, also had no objection to his tanks doing some pro-European shooting at Moscow streets back then, remember?
Boris Yeltsin is a hero for the european peoples, his push was crucial for the USSR/criminal state dismantling
That was before NATO aggressions on Libya, Serbia, Mali, Syria, Iraq,…..
He also lowered the price of gas for Poland and promised to withdraw Russian troops several months before the planned date. I bet he enjoyed his stay in our country 🥳🍸🍸🍸 as he made some very unRussian decisions.
Ah yes Boris Yeltsin. What a great leader. 90s Russia was amazing for the Russian people /s
Regardless of this decision, Yeltsin was a complete idiot and he’s largely to thank for the current political climate in Russia
And then he got shitfaced drunk and tripped over the microphone cord.
Not many people are more universally hated in Russia than this genius.
Fun fact: yes, he downed that entire tray of glasses all by himself.
Who is the guy next to Lech Walensa? He looks really familiar.
The times they are A changin
Well Russia was a democracy from 1991 to 1999.
The best leader of Russia from the Polish perspective.
to perceive the words of this drunk as the position of Russia would be extremely stupid deeds, he is a disgrace to Russia and an alcoholic.
