Russian dictator Vladimir Putin on Nov. 4 said that Poland, Romania and Hungary are allegedly planning to “reclaim” territories lost after the Second World War.

“We are talking about the return of those territories that were taken from Poland,” Putin said, in what appeared to be an attempt to stoke tensions over current borders in Eastern Europe.
