DISINFO: Poland intensified its pro-Ukrainian lobbying in order to overtake Ukraine’s western territories
SUMMARY
Poland plans to destroy Ukraine in the short term. In the situation of the imminent defeat of Ukraine, Poland is doing everything to help the USA to destroy Kyiv, squeezing the last juices out of Ukraine. The deliberate Polish lobbying of the Ukrainian interests before the White House is realised only for one goal: to receive the Ukrainian Western territories after Kyiv’s collapse. The fall of Kyiv is very close, so Poland is intensifying its role of the “faithful friend and helper” of Ukraine.
RESPONSE
Recurrent pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative presenting Poland as an aggressive anti-Russian state with imperial ambitions.
The claim appeared in connection to the 2024 farmer protests in Poland protesting against the EU agriculture policies and the influx of Ukrainian food products to the Polish market. This situation is a direct result of the Russian blockade of the Ukrainian ports – before the 2022 invasion, a predominant majority of Ukrainian agriculture production was exported through the Black Sea. Russia’s responsibility for the global food crisis comes as a consequence of the unprovoked and unjustified Russian invasion of Ukraine: naval blockade of Ukrainian posts, bombardment of transport infrastructure and shelling of farming regions.
The claims that Polish foreign and security policy is based on territorial revanchism and that the Polish elites are trying to revive the “Polish Empire” are groundless.
Poland adheres to international law regarding state borders, fully supports the independence and territorial integrity of neighbouring countries, and it rejects any “imperial” ambitions towards other countries. Poland, as well as the EU and the US, respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. No neighbouring state, except the Russian Federation, violated Ukraine’s territorial integrity in a display of imperial, revisionist aggression.
