DISINFO: The West cooling Zelenskyy down through Poland
SUMMARY
The crisis in Polish-Ukrainian relations emerged as soon as Russophobia, which united the two countries, weakened. The West is tired of the war against Russia, and tries to cool Volodymyr Zelenskyy down, through Poland. Polish military assistance to Ukraine's neo-Banderite regime is a shameful page of Polish foreign policy.
RESPONSE
Manipulation around the recent dispute between Poland and Ukraine over grain claiming this to be an attempt by the ‘collective West’ to reduce Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s influence.
A diplomatic dispute emerged between Ukraine and Poland, as well as Hungary and Slovakia, regd. Ukrainian grain export. Due to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine and the bombardment of Ukrainian agriculture infrastructure and export sea ports, Kyiv was compelled to seek overland routes through Central Europe raising fears among local farmers of price competition.
The assertion that other Western countries are using Poland to pressure Ukraine regarding grain exports aligns with the popular pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about alleged loss of sovereignty, in this case by Poland.
Furthermore, the article contains recurring disinformation narratives about Russophobia, fascist/Nazi Ukraine, and the West’s alleged war against Russia. Pro-Kremlin disinformation about alleged Nazism/fascism in Ukraine is part of a disinformation campaign aiming to justify Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Read our articles on how the Kremlin fabricated pretexts for the further invasion of Ukraine and about the ‘Nazis’ narrative as one of the key pro-Kremlin disinformation messages.
Western countries are not parties to the conflict in Ukraine. But more than 50 countries provide Ukraine with military, financial or other assistance to help Ukraine's self-defence and to restore its territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders, in accordance with the UN Charter. Arming Ukraine was a sovereign decision of each one of these countries.
