On April 28, the director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, Sergei Naryshkin, spun a conspiracy theory about Polish plans for Ukraine.
Without evidence, Naryshkin claimed that the United States and Poland are working to restore Polish control over their “historic possessions” in Ukraine.
The intelligence service, known as SVR, issued this statement:
“As SVR Director SE Naryshkin stated: ‘According to information received by the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, Washington and Warsaw are working on plans to establish strict political-military control by Poland over ‘its historical possessions’ in Ukraine. ‘. ”
Furthermore, he quoted Naryshkin, stating that the first step would come when Polish troops entered western Ukraine under the pretext of protecting it from Russia.
“Currently, the modalities of the next mission are being discussed with the Biden administration,” Naryshkin was quoted as saying by SVR. “According to preliminary agreements, it will be carried out without a NATO mandate, but with the participation of ‘willing states’. Warsaw has not yet been able to agree on the potential participants of the ‘coalition of like-minded people’. ”
Naryshkin said that Polish forces would be deployed in parts of the country where the risk of encountering Russian troops is minimal.
The Polish government dismissed the baseless accusations as disinformation.
“Lies about alleged Polish plans to attack western Ukraine have been repeated for several years,” Reuters quoted Stanislaw Zaryn, spokesperson for the coordinator of special services in Poland.
“The goal of Russian propaganda is to foster mistrust between Ukraine and Poland in order to undermine PL-UA cooperation.”
Separately, Nikolai Patrushev, secretary of the Russian Security Council and former head of the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB), reclaimed that Western policies could lead to the disintegration of Ukraine.
Speaking to the Russian government newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta, patrushev accused the United States of trying to “suppress Russia” and divide “one people” by “using their protégés in kyiv” to create a force opposing Russia.
Commenting on Patrushev’s statement, Sergei Tsekov, a member of the international affairs committee of the Federation Council, Russia’s upper house of parliament, saying that the collapse of Ukraine “has already happened”.
Tsekov cited Russia’s recognition of two self-proclaimed Russian-backed breakaway provinces in eastern Ukraine, the Russian newspaper Izvestia reported.
Tsekov asserted that Ukraine is not far from being like Nazi Germany, saying that “the Nazi nationalist system” never brought benefits, but “always destroyed countries.”
Driven by the false claims of President Vladimir Putin, Russian propaganda has sought to justify their war as an emancipation and “denazification” effort. There is no evidence to support that portrayal, and plenty of evidence that Putin is projecting.
After annexing Crimea in 2014 and fomenting conflict in eastern Ukraine for eight years, Russia is supposedly preparing to absorb the breakaway Donetsk People’s Republic and the Luhansk People’s Republic into the Russian Federation.
In his remarks, Naryshkin said that the Allied powers accepted Poland’s annexation of western Ukraine after World War I. But unlike the Russian Federation, the modern Polish state has not pursued revenger policies against Ukraine.
Poland was the first foreign country to recognize Ukraine’s independence in December 1991.
The previous year, Poland and Ukraine agreed on the “Declaration on the bases and general directions in the development of Polish-Ukrainian relations”.
Article 3 of the declaration state that neither country has, nor wants to, make territorial claims against the other.
Poland has been on the “front line to help Ukraine” by providing weapons and humanitarian support, and accepting refugees, following Russia’s February 24 invasion. saying UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss.
While Russian officials accuse the West and even the Ukrainians themselves of bringing about Ukraine’s destruction, it is Russia’s policy, which some argue. constitutes genocidethat seeks the dismemberment of Ukraine.
Days before launching the war, Putin argued that Ukraine is not even a real country and falsely claimed that the Ukrainian government is fascist. Putin called Ukraine part of Russia’s “own history, culture, spiritual space.”
Russian forces have indiscriminately shelled populated areas, killing civilians and destroying hospitals, schools and other civilian infrastructure.
United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet saying those actions may have been war crimes.
She also said “[t]The scale of summary executions of civilians in areas previously occupied by Russian forces is also emerging.”
One such atrocities in the city of Bucha allegedly I saw hundreds of civilians systematically murdered.
putin has called the Bucha Murders a provocation or a forgery, while also rewarding military honors to the Russian forces suspected of committing the atrocities.
“Russian practice of mass murder, rape and deportation, the claim that a nation does not exist is the rhetorical preparation to destroy it,” said Yale history professor Timothy Snyder. wrote in The New Yorker magazine.
Snyder noted that Poles, “whose ancestors were the main victims of Ukrainian nationalism, have admitted almost three million Ukrainian refugees.”
That, he wrote, shows that “there are other ways to handle history than stories of eternal victimhood.”
Numerous reports say that Moscow is deport by force Ukrainians to Russia, a violation of the Geneva conventions.
Moscow has also been accused of “kidnapping” Ukrainian children and sending them to Russia, where they allegedly face the prospect of illegal adoption.
During world war II, kidnapped nazi germany tens of thousands of children, many of them Poles, and forcibly “Germanized” them.
