Od ULB do Trójkąta Lubelskiego - Międzymorze w XXI wieku
From ULB to the Lublin Triangle - Intermarium in the 21st Century

Summary/Abstract: In July 2020, the Lublin Triangle (L3) was established, a specific format of regional cooperation in which Ukraine, which is outside the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty, participates alongside Poland and Lithuania. In the text, L3 was presented as an element of the implementation of the ULB doctrine (Ukraine, Lithuania, Belarus) developed in the Paris-based "Kultura". The article also presents an outline of the Intermarium concept and the Three Seas initiative, which is often associated with it, drawing attention to the instrumental treatment of both ventures by Law and Justice. Reference is made to the main assumptions of J. Mieroszewski's doctrine, continued by J. Giedroyc as a kind of "ideological base" for the Lublin Triangle, which is an attempt to implement the ULB doctrine. The multidimensional nature of cooperation within the format and the opportunities associated with it are indicated, but also to its fundamental weakness, which is the absence of Belarus in it. Reference was also made to the current situation resulting from the aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, which has been ongoing since February 2022, and its impact on the future of the discussed format of trilateral cooperation.
