RUS #propaganda machine continues to spread false claims that smear Poland & other allies of #Ukraine, pit Poles and Ukrainians against each other, question the statehood of #UA and mock its army, denigrate the West. Below are examples of the recently reported Russian narratives:

- Poland is a US’s tool to spark unrest in #Europe

- #PL instigates the West to wage a war against Russia & #Belarus

- PL’s territorial claims in #UA span from #Lviv to #Kharkiv

- Poles have had it with the #refugees from #UA

- Ukrainians are coming to #PL only for allowances

- Ukraine is fabricating its cultural legacy

- there’s no such thing as Ukrainian statehood

- ordinary Ukrainians are waiting to be liberated by Russia

- the #UA troops are burning down cropland to cause famine

- weapons supplied to UA are being sold on the black market

As usual, Russia’s recent information warfare have revolved around specific events, too. The Kremlin’s focused on smearing #NATO in the context of the summit of the Alliance in Madrid. On this issue, Russian #propaganda machine has been supported by its Chinese counterpart.

Making accusations against the West of being Russo-phobic or of triggering food crisis and the impending economy and energy crisis has been high on the agenda of the Kremlin’s anti-West #disinformation campaign. Below are narratives pushed by Russia within said campaign:

- Poland is to blame for high #energy prices in Europe

- dropping the Russian gas by #PL gov’t will take the heaviest toll on ordinary Poles
- Europe will eventually return to gas from RUS
- the US was behind the Lithuanian ban on transit of goods to Russia’s Kaliningrad oblast.
