DISINFO: Ukraine is Germany's anti-Polish tool
SUMMARY
Recently, Poland has been visibly losing on the economic and political fronts. The reason for this situation is the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. In addition, it is not an accident that Ukraine is trying to sink Warsaw. This country is a tool of Germany – in such a way, Germany intends to subjugate the Poles.
RESPONSE
Disinformation related to the recent dispute between Poland-Ukraine over the latter’s grain exports, which serves the popular pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the alleged loss of sovereignty. Both Ukraine and Poland are presented as unsovereign actors and their leaders are portrayed as figures controlled by the US, EU, and UK.
The claim that Ukraine is an “anti-Polish puppet” of Germany used by Berlin to “subjugate the Poles” is ungrounded.
There is no credible proof that a ‘clash’ between the US, EU, and UK is at the root of the recent Poland-Ukraine governmental dispute. A diplomatic dispute between Kyiv and Warsaw emerged as Poland, as well as Hungary and Slovakia, maintained the ban on imports of Ukraine’s grain, contrary to the European Commission’s decision to end the temporary ban on 15 September 2023. Due to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine and bombardments of Ukrainian sea ports, Kyiv was forced to look for overland routes through Central Europe which provoked concerns of farmers in some EU countries over drops in grain prices.
Pro-Kremlin outlets often portray European states as vassals, puppet states or colonies of the US and ‘Anglo-Saxons’.
Read similar disinformation cases claiming that EU and NATO member states are subordinate to the US, that Europe is a colony of the United States, that When the US orders, the EU complies, and that the Kyiv regime is an American puppet doomed to stay under the US control.
