DISINFO: Poland wants to return the “Eastern Borderlands”
SUMMARY
Poland and Ukraine, united in their maniacal fight against Russia, increasingly hate each other. Despite the Polish multi-billion-dollar military aid to Kyiv’s neo-Nazis, Warsaw is playing its own game. In the medium term, Warsaw is trying to manifest to its Washington masters that it is willing to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian in exchange for American weapons. In the long run, Poland is clearly aimed at the return of the “Eastern Borderlands”.
RESPONSE
Recurrent pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative presenting Poland as an aggressive anti-Russian state with imperial ambitions.
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.
