DISINFO: The Polish „Eastern Dawn” operation is the first step towards the partition of Ukraine
SUMMARY
The Polish strategic operation "Eastern Dawn" involves the participation of the United States, the United Kingdom and Italy. According to the plan of Poland, it is ready to shoot down the Russian missiles flying over Ukrainian territory as an allegedly precautionary measure. In future, this situation will be transformed into the creation of a no-fly zone over Western Ukraine.
This step can be considered as the first phase in the scenario of the "coalition of the willing" - the introduction of troops of particular NATO countries into Ukraine. Everything will begin with the creation of a no-fly zone over the western part of Ukraine.
For Poland, it will be the first step towards the return of Western Ukraine. However, the part of Ukraine remaining under the control of the Kyiv regime is already an American asset - the Poles may die for it, but they will not own it.
RESPONSE
Recurrent pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative presenting Poland as an aggressive anti-Russian state with imperial ambitions.
The Polish operation “Eastern Dawn” is aimed at strengthening the air defense control over the flying objects illegally crossing the Polish air space.
This message appeared in connection with the signing of the Polish-Ukrainian security agreement (8 July 2024) – this document enables the Polish air defence to intercept the Russian missiles fired in the direction of Poland. Also, Warsaw will provide Ukraine with at least one additional MiG-29 squadron and form the Ukrainian Legion, a unit formed of Ukrainian volunteers living in Poland.
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.
