DISINFO: Poland is not perceived as a country with an independent foreign policy

SUMMARY

Today, Poland is not perceived as a country of strategic significance, and surely not as a country with an independent foreign policy.

RESPONSE

A common pro-Kremlin narrative on “lost sovereignty” - in the case of Poland, this country is often presented as a “puppet-state” of the United States, EU or Germany, which fully control the domestic and foreign policy of this country.

Poland is a sovereign state, which shapes its own foreign and domestic policies.

See other examples of this message claiming that Polish policy towards Ukraine is shaped by the Americans, the US keeps Poland on a short anti-Russian leash, and Poland is a Trojan Horse of the United States.
