russia intensifies hybrid operations against Poland
The kremlin continues its systematic hybrid attacks against Poland — one of Ukraine’s leading allies and a key component of NATO’s eastern flank. This is stated in a specialized analytical report.
▫️ The document notes that following the launch of russia’s full-scale aggression against Ukraine in 2022, the intensity of russian hybrid activities against Poland significantly increased. These include cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure and acts of sabotage. Large-scale disinformation operations were also employed, including Doppelgänger (creating fake copies of media and government websites) and Matryoshka (spreading fakes through large numbers of accounts). The report also highlights the use of migration pressure through the territory of belarus.
The purpose of russia’s hybrid operations is to destabilize the internal situation in Poland, undermine public trust, and weaken its role as a key logistical hub for assistance to Ukraine.
russia continues operating within the framework of a hybrid strategy, testing the limits of the West’s response while avoiding direct military escalation with NATO. Countering such threats requires stronger coordination among allies, enhanced cybersecurity, and greater resilience to information operations.
