Russia is trying to manipulate the Poles
The Russian propaganda apparatus is using its efforts to stimulate public debate in Poland, convincing the public that helping Ukraine is affecting the living conditions of Poles.
The Kremlin influences the internal situation in Poland, convincing Poles of the bad situation in the country and the pessimistic prospects for the future. Information activities in this thread are used to create the potential for a revolt against helping UA.
Russian propaganda argues that a change in the ‘anti-Polish policy’ of Poland’s gov’t and a change in the approach to the Ukraine issue will overcome the negative trends that the Kremlin indicates in the Polish situation.
The propaganda suggests that the energy crisis, inflation will disappear if the Polish gov’t moves away from 'Russophobia' and the psychosis of war. At the same time, the Kremlin, citing ‘opinions of Poles’, argues that this is the expectation that Polish society now has.
Russian media channels claim that Poles are increasingly frustrated and are demanding the ‘expulsion’ of refugees from Ukraine.
Economic themes have been heavily exploited in recent weeks by Russia, which is using informational and economic pressure to destabilize cooperation between the West and Ukraine and to pressure the West to stop helping Ukraine.
