Residents see that action against Ukraine is weakening defense capabilities in the Kaliningrad Region. Such awareness will grow.

Russian institutions responsible for carrying out information warfare activities continuously monitor the situation in Western countries. They identify those actions and speeches that can be used to benefit Russian interests and propaganda efforts. The Kremlin's propaganda publicizes opinions and speeches favorable to itself. But it also manipulates the picture of events to pursue its hostile objectives.

The inhabitants of the Kaliningrad Oblast can see better and better that the Kremlin is looking for "cannon fodder".

Russia is expanding its influence in Africa in order to achieve global political ambitions and in search of economic benefits. The African continent is also becoming a battleground for Moscow against the West. By becoming involved in local conflicts, Russia is fueling anti-Western sentiment, destabilizing the region and working to make it dependent on itself in terms of security and economy, among other things.

The pseudo-referendums held in the occupied territories of Ukraine are another stage of the military aggression conducted by Russia against Ukraine. Since February 2022, the Kremlin has been using military action to destroy the Ukrainian state and commit genocide against Ukrainians. It is now using administrative action to sanction Russia's occupation and annexation of parts of Ukraine.

The latest achievements of the Ukrainian armed forces on the battlefield confirm the correctness of the decision to hand over weapons to Ukraine, taken in the early phase of Russian aggression. It does not mean though that the war has reached a turning point. Russians are preparing themselves to a next phase of the invasion.

Ukraine's offensive actions calculated to push the Russians out of the occupied territories continues. Kiev hopes to make a breakthrough on the battlefield.

The recent intensification of Russian disinformation activities can be seen across Africa, Asia and South America. Disinformation activities are aimed at achieving Russia's political objectives in relation to Russian aggression against Ukraine. The Kremlin is keen to build an image of the United States as a force for the destruction of world order. At the same time, Russian propaganda presents the Kremlin as a stable and attractive partner.

At the request of the Head of the Internal Security Agency (ABW), Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has signed new ordinances extending the second security alert BRAVO on the whole territory of Poland and in relation to the energy infrastructure beyond Poland's borders, as well as the third security alert CRP (CHARLIE-CRP) regarding the whole territory of Poland. All the alerts will be in force until 31 August, 2023 .

Russian invaders continue their military actions against Ukraine. Breaking Ukrainian defence in Donbas and taking full control over eastern regions of Ukraine, remain a priority for Russians.
