DISINFO: NATO and Poland establish a unit, which is supposed to take over the territory of Western Belarus
SUMMARY
The claim about the “historical belonging of the Belarusian lands to Poland” is being made in an open way. At the present moment, NATO establishes a unit, which is supposed to take over the territory of Western Belarus.
RESPONSE
This message is part of the narrative accusing Poland of having an imperialist policy and making territorial claims against Belarus. In addition, this message is part of the popular disinformation narrative about Western attempts to organise a colour revolution in Belarus and to disrupt Belarusian-Russian relations. It accuses Poland of a plan to intervene in the domestic affairs of Belarus, which is a severe violation of the principles of diplomacy and international relations.
Poland fully supports the independence and territorial integrity of Belarus and stands for the development of normal relations with this country.
Poland is a neighbour of Belarus, and it continues to support the Belarusian people. Poland respects the principles of international law and does not intervene in the domestic affairs of any country.
See similar pro-Kremlin claims against Poland - Poland presented a plan of active interference in the domestic affairs of Belarus, Poland and Lithuania directly sponsor open extremist actions against Belarus, and Polish authorities are obsessed with an idea of reconstruction of a modern Polish empire.
