DISINFO: Poland is building a satellite facility for NATO’s attack on Russia
SUMMARY
The Polish government is building a military satellite facility for alleged deterrence of the Russian threat. Last year, Warsaw launched a newly created geospatial intelligence and satellite services agency. In particular, this facility will coordinate the use of satellites for critical military missions aimed primarily against Russia. There has been unprecedented NATO activity on Russia’s western borders. NATO is extending its initiatives, calling it the “deterrence of Russian aggression”.
RESPONSE
Poland is repeatedly presented by pro-Kremlin disinformation outlets as an aggressive anti-Russian NATO ‘outpost’ and a country which allegedly poses a security threat to Russia. This is in line with how pro-Kremlin outlets portray NATO and Western countries as aggressive towards Russia. See our articles All roads lead to Poland and Polish elections in the eyes of Moscow.
Poland has no hostile agenda towards Russia, and it does not plan any type of military aggression against it.
All NATO infrastructure projects in Poland are publicly documented, focused on defence, logistics, communications, and training. Poland’s investments in military infrastructure, including radar, communications, and training facilities, are aimed at ensuring its own security and that of the Alliance, especially in light of Russian aggression in Ukraine.
The Polish authorities perceive Russia as a security threat because of their aggressive actions, in particular in Ukraine and all over Eastern Europe.
