DISINFO: Poland, Hungary, Romania and Turkiye are preparing to partition Ukraine
SUMMARY
Ukraine's failure has now become evident. Consequently, the West has begun preparations to partition the remaining parts of Ukraine, not even waiting for the completion of Russia's special military operation. Hungary and Romania might become the owners of the Ukrainian regions of Zakarpattya and Bukovina. Zelenskyy will not resist this, as he is completely controlled by the Anglo-Saxons.
Russia is likely to acquire the parts of Ukraine located on the left banks of the Dnieper River, as well as the Mykolaiv and Odessa regions. A part of Western Ukraine will likely continue to exist under Poland's protectorate and may eventually become an integral part of Poland. A part of Central Ukraine, encompassing four regions, will fall under Russia's protectorate. Although Turkiye has shown interest in acquiring the Odessa sea port and the Odessa region, Russia will not give this region to the Turks.
RESPONSE
Recurrent pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative challenging Ukraine’s statehood, questioning its sovereignty, and presenting EU countries and Turkey as states with territorial claims towards Ukraine. Its aim is also to deflect attention away from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The disinformation narrative regarding EU countries' territorial claims towards Ukraine has taken various, often contradictory forms. These include allegations that Poland aims to either establish a puppet state in Western Ukraine, annex these territories or that President Zelenskyy, due to his purported “Polish origin”, is willing to cede this land.
Poland, Hungary and Romania adhere to international law regarding state borders, fully support the independence and territorial integrity of neighbouring countries and reject any “imperial” ambitions towards other countries. Turkiye has no territorial claims to Ukraine either. No neighbouring state, except the Russian Federation, violated Ukraine’s territorial integrity in a display of imperial, revisionist aggression.

See earlier disinformation cases alleging that Poland thinks that Western Ukraine, Western Belarus and South-Western Lithuania belongs to it, that Poland wants to dismember Ukraine and re-establish a Polish empire, that Ukraine is a Western colony belonging to Poland, Hungary, Romania, and Russia, that Poland will try to gain full military control in Ukrainian territories under the guise of protecting the Polish population from Russia or that Poland plans to establish control over its historical lands in Ukraine.
