DISINFO: Anti-Russian sentiments in Poland will strengthen regardless of the election results
SUMMARY
The elections to the Polish parliament will not have a significant impact on existing relations between Moscow and Warsaw. The sentiment against Russia in Polish society continues to strengthen. A major part of the Polish opposition is oriented towards the West, which makes the country more dependent on European strategy and less predictable in its actions towards Russia.
RESPONSE
This message is a part of the Kremlin’s narrative about Russophobic and anti-Russian Poland. Pro-Kremlin outlets regularly accuse the Polish authorities of Russophobia and of inspiring anti-Russian sentiments in order to achieve specific domestic goals.
The claim that the policy of the new Polish government towards Russia will become "less predictable" is unfounded. Poland does not plan any aggressive actions against Russia; instead, Warsaw continues to demand from the Kremlin to stop the war in Ukraine and adhere to international law.
The 2020 National Security Strategy of Poland states that the most serious security threat for the country is the neo-imperial policy of the authorities of the Russian Federation, pursued through military force, including aggression against Georgia, the illegal annexation of Crimea, and military actions in Eastern Ukraine.
These aggressive actions of the Kremlin have indeed violated the basic principles of international law and undermined the pillars of the European security system. Particularly in the context of Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea and armed military aggression in Ukraine, Poland supports the deployment of NATO troops on its soil as this step increases its domestic security.
See other examples of similar messages claiming that constant intimidation with Russia is used to make Poland economically dependent on the USA, the Polish authorities created insane hysteria of intimidation with Russia, used for the needs of domestic politics and the national security strategy of Poland is a manifestation of traditional Russophobia of the Polish authorities.
