Poland uses the excuse of combating irregular migration as a cover up for a huge regrouping of troops and the creation of an assault group at the border with Belarus. It seems that Warsaw is planning to solve a number of its political problems with a small victorious war. Poland is getting ready to get the territories which Joseph Stalin took away in 1939. The idea is very simple: three military groups need to crush Belarusian troops by Hrodna and Brest and reach the 1939 borderline.
Summary
Continued provocations of the Ukrainian side aim at escalating the situation on the line of contact, and there is a need to end Kyiv's discriminatory policy against the Russian-speaking population. This policy violates Ukraine's international obligations.
Disproof
This is a recurring disinformation narrative from pro-Kremlin outlets, claiming that Ukraine is responsible for the escalation in Donbas. The claim has been neither counterbalanced nor critically challenged in the article.
Kyiv has repeatedly stated that it is not interested in escalation and that it prefers a peaceful solution. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated earlier this year that the Minsk agreements are the only option to end the war in Donbas.
Contrary to pro-Kremlin disinformation reports, it is rather the Russia backed armed formations, who are constantly breaking the truce, which results in more intensified military escalation in Donbas. It is not in Kyiv’s interest to escalate the conflict. More than 13,000 have been killed in the hostilities, and the Donbas war is a heavy burden on the Ukrainian economy.
The claim that Ukraine is discriminating against the Russian-speaking population is also false. Ukrainian law does not forbid the use of Russian nor any other languages in private communication and religious ceremonies, as well as in book publishing, the press, including radio and television, education and the service sector. Furthermore, Ukraine is a signatory to the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities, which guarantees that people in Ukraine have the right: "to use freely and without interference his or her minority language, in private and in public, orally and in writing".
