russian intelligence services have launched another information provocation as part of their ongoing campaign to discredit Ukraine in the eyes of Polish society.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0f A network of russian Telegram channels, previously used to spread fake narratives about Ukraine, is circulating a staged video filmed near the Polish-Ukrainian border (likely on Polish territory). In the footage, an unidentified individual off-camera pours a red liquid over portraits of Polish politicians. The video is accompanied by manipulative captions falsely implying that the act was carried out by Ukrainians.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0f The original source of the video was a TikTok account, but the post was quickly removed from the platform immediately after it was simultaneously picked up and amplified by russian propaganda channels. This pattern of dissemination followed by the rapid removal of the original content indicates a pre-planned operation.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0f The manner in which the video was filmed and executed suggests the possible involvement of agents recruited by russian intelligence services. The Center previously documented a similar modus operandi during an earlier staged provocation involving the desecration of Polish flags.<\/p>\n
This is another element of russia\u2019s systematic information operation aimed at manipulating public opinion in Poland. By fabricating supposed \u201canti-Polish sentiment\u201d among Ukrainians, the kremlin seeks to provoke public outrage and artificially inflame hostility between Ukrainians and Poles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
