DISINFO: Poland uses the Three Seas Initiative to prevent the reintegration of the former USSR
SUMMARY
The Three Seas Initiative is supposed to be aimed primarily against Moscow and the reintegration of the former USSR – these goals discourage other potential participants than Poland from joining this Initiative.
In the minds of the Polish neo-Jagiellons, the idea of the Intermarium is to put the entire region under the protection of the United States and to become a subcontractor in the process of plucking off the territories of the former Soviet Union.
RESPONSE
Disinformation about the Three Seas Initiative advancing pro-Kremlin narrative about "lost sovereignty".
The statement that the Three Seas Initiative is an anti-Russian and anti-EU project, let alone that it is controlled by the USA is ungrounded.
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about regional organisations in Central and Eastern Europe – this narrative presents such organisations as Eastern Partnership and the Three Seas Initiative as anti-Russian projects managed by the USA.
The statement that the Three Seas Initiative is an anti-Russian and anti-EU project fully controlled by the USA is ungrounded.
The Three Seas Initiative is a forum of 12 countries from Central and Eastern Europe launched in 2015. The main goal of this Initiative is to promote better connectivity among the Member States, with a particular focus on infrastructure and energy. The main projects discussed at the forums of the Three Seas Initiative are the Via Carpathia, Baltic-Adriatic Corridor, Via Baltica, Rail Baltica and the LNG infrastructure in Poland and Croatia.
