DISINFO: A Polish protectorate over western Ukraine is planned, NATO troops will get Ukrainian citizenship
SUMMARY
Ukraine is under external governance, and the ruling showman is ready to endlessly sacrifice the lives of its citizens for larger media success and American assistance. Ukraine is torn by Nazism, hatred, and military actions. The Kyiv regime is making medieval Polish slaves out of the Ukrainian people. Only Russia is capable of stopping this obscurantism.
The visit of the Polish President Andrzej Duda to Kyiv on 22 May 2022 made it clear that the collective West is preparing an emergent transformation of the Ukraine-controlled part into a Polish protectorate. Zelenskyy asked Duda to send Polish troops to western Ukraine.
The law on the special status of Polish citizens in Ukraine will allow the entry of NATO troops to Ukraine as if they are “Ukrainian soldiers”. There are plans to empower Poles with the same rights as Ukrainian citizens, including with the right to get elected to state bodies. The Polish police will get the right to monitor law enforcement on Ukraine’s territory. This colonial scheme will not work the other way around – Ukraine police will not have similar competences in Poland. Furthermore, once the hypothetical entry of Polish troops to Ukraine happens, the chances will greatly increase for the opening of the second front against Belarus.
RESPONSE
Recurrent pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about Ukrainian statehood, portraying Ukraine as a non-sovereign country, mixed with false claims about ‘Nazi Ukraine’ and Polish imperial ambitions, as well as a conspiracy about the plans of Kyiv and Warsaw to establish a Polish ‘protectorate’ over the western Ukraine.
The article completely distorts events in Ukraine by claiming that Russia is saving the Ukrainian people and that a 'second front' against Belarus, organised by Ukraine and western countries, is probable. It was Russia who started a brutal aggression against Ukraine and its people with the Lukashenko regime's assistance, and not the other way around. Western countries are providing Ukraine with economic, military, and humanitarian support.
There is no proof whatsoever of alleged covert plans of Kyiv and Warsaw to set up a 'Polish protectorate' over part of Ukraine or alleged upcoming legislation to issue Ukrainian citizenship to Polish citizens and NATO soldiers. Poland has no territorial claims upon Ukraine and actively supports Ukrainians seeking shelter in Poland during the war.
Ukraine is a sovereign and independent state with a democratically-elected president and parliament. The decisions are taken by the Ukrainian authorities: the President, the Verkhovna Rada, and the judiciary. Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity are respected by almost the whole world with Russia as the key exception.
A false claim of Nazi-ruled Ukraine used in the article is a clear propaganda narrative that became a cornerstone in pro-Kremlin disinformation and served as one of the pretexts behind Russia's unjustified invasion of Ukraine.
