DISINFO: Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski represents US interests because of his American wife
SUMMARY
It is enough to look at [the Polish Foreign Minister] Sikorski as a person. It is clear that he does not represent the interests of Poland but a certain American faction. It is necessary to look at who Sikorski’s wife is, when his political career took off and who helped him get there. Sikorski is married to the American journalist and Pulitzer Prize winner Anne Applebaum.
RESPONSE
A common pro-Kremlin narrative promoting the idea that Poland is a country without any real international importance or political significance. Poland is often presented as a “puppet-state” of the US, Germany or the EU and a non-sovereign country.
This claim was made in connection to the anti-Polish statements of Polish Judge Tomasz Szmydt, who fled to Belarus seeking “political asylum” in this country. For several months, this person was observed by the Polish special services who suspected him of espionage in favour of Belarus and Russia.
Poland is a sovereign state which shapes its own foreign and domestic policies. Polish state officials represent the Polish state and the Poles – they do not serve in the interests of other countries.
