Lithuania and Poland was one (a commonwealth union) country for hundreds of years. When we had the Lithuanian dynasty (the house of Jagiellon) it was the most glorious era in Polish history, because the later elective kings was a very mixed bag ending with the complete end of the country (but then anyway we've still had our common uprisings against Russia).
I am aware, at least of the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth. So there's no hostility towards Lithuania even though they stole Vilnus - whatever you call it in Polish?
It was a mistake by both sides. @ brothers war just like the Polish-Ukrainian war.
A long celebrated (even under communism) aspect of it was the Polish side's use of child soldiers (Orlęta Lwowskie), which is awkward from today's perspective but was not limited to this episode (including a lot during WWII).

Considering how much closer Little Russians are to Great Russians, that's even more applicable to the current conflict.

Mindless presentism. Besides, Poles are born with a knife between their teeth.

And no, it was the ours who have taken Wilno. But from the Bolsheviks in the end.
It was mostly Polish in population though, right? Like Lwow.
