Frank Settineri asked Nik Krasno:

Nik, It appears that you are less than enthusiastic about the Ukrainians than what is reported by the press. Are you aware of the atrocities they committed against the Poles during WW2?

Nik Krasno Hi Frank, I think I'm more enthusiastic :) I admire how Ukrainians defend their freedom and country against an allegedly superior army. As of the past - almost all the participants of WW2 are dead and I don't hold anything against new generations who live now. I heard of atrocities, but equally or more so about heroism of those who fought nazis in the ranks of the Red Army or those hiding Jews or fighting as partisans. We see how Germany changed and condemned its past. Poland is one of the biggest supporters of Ukraine in the current war, despite their problematic history. It's important to remember what happened in the past, however I argue sins of the previous generations shouldn't project onto contemporary ones.
