Disinfo: Polish psychopaths interpret all Russian actions as “aggression”

Summary

There is quite a large group of psychopaths in Poland who will interpret any Russian activity as “an announcement of aggression”. Today it looks like the West is imagining a war it cannot win, then prepared to tell the public about the defeat, and when nothing happened, it looked like a fool.

Disproof

This message is a part of the Kremlin’s widespread narrative about anti-Russian, Russophobic Poland, which deliberately worsens its relations with Russia and implements aggressive policies.

These claims are part of an ongoing disinformation campaign about Russia’s military buildup on the border with Ukraine. By accusing the West of being the driving force behind the escalation of tensions, this disinformation story aims to deny any Russian responsibility for the situation.

As of the beginning of 2022, Russia has amassed over 100,000 troops and equipment on the borders of Ukraine including in the illegally annexed Crimean peninsula.

Russia’s most recent military buildup at the Ukrainian border also includes preparations for military drills in Belarus, which were conducted just 18 km from the Ukrainian border.

Besides supporting Ukraine on the diplomatic front, the US, UK, the Baltic States, and others provided Ukraine with defensive weapons (such as anti-armour and antiaircraft missiles, patrol boats, artillery ammunition, field hospital equipment, means of personal protection) that would protect the civilian population in case of possible Russian military invasion. By supporting Ukraine amidst the current security crisis, the Western partners help Ukraine to defend its independence and statehood, not to undermine it.

Disinfo: Russia has nothing to do with the intra-Ukrainian conflict

Russian obligations under the 1994 Budapest Memorandum have nothing to do with the internal conflict in Ukraine. The loss of territorial integrity by the state [of Ukraine] occurred as a result of internal processes.

Disproof

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the war in Ukraine, claiming that only Ukraine and the two pro-Kremlin illegal separatists territories are warring sides in the Donbas conflict and that Russia is not part of the conflict. Consistent with pro-Kremlin disinformation alleging Russia has not violated the 1994 Budapest Memorandum.

The war in Ukraine is not an internal conflict between Ukrainians but a well-documented act of aggression by Russian armed forces, ongoing since February 2014.

Disinfo: Russo-Georgian War was provoked by foreign special services

Why do you think no one can still state with 100% accuracy who started the war in August 2008? Because in reality no one knows who fired first, and there is a reasonable assumption that this was done by foreign special services and then uncontrolled processes began.

Disproof

Unfounded pro-Kremlin disinformation trying to deny any Russian responsibility for the Russo-Georgian war, portraying Russia as a peacemaker and blaming the West for the war which resulted in the further occupation of South Ossetia and Abkhazia by additional military forces from Russia.

Many international organisations condemned the further occupation of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, see e.g. the CSCE statement here, the Delegation of the European Union to Georgia here and the European Parliament's declaration.

Disinfo: The West was destroyed without a gunshot

Some Russian forces were pulled back from the Ukrainian border after their exercises ended, so the day marks the complete failure of the West's war propaganda, as Moscow is not launching an attack against Ukraine.

Disproof

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative accusing the West of trying to provoke war with Russia.

Since late October 2021, Russia has conducted a military-build up along the Ukrainian border, including the deployment of as much as 190,000 troops, as well as of certain specialised military units, electronic warfare systems and heavy-armoured vehicles. Despite Russian denials, this has been proven by satellite images and intelligence of the US, Ukraine and NATO, among other countries and institutions. The European Union has stated that it will be standing firmly and decisively with Ukraine in front of any attempt to undermine its territorial integrity and sovereignty.
