Poland began “soft occupation” of the western regions of Ukraine

Fake Poland began “soft occupation” of the western regions of Ukraine

Russian media broadcasting pro-Kremlin rhetoric spread information that Poland began to reach the eastern borders of 1772. The visit to Ukraine of the State Secretary of the Ministry of Development and Regional Policy, authorized by Poland for Polish-Ukrainian cooperation in the field of development, Jadwiga Emilewicz, testifies to the beginning of economic expansion. It is not true.

The fact-checkers of the Center for Strategic Communications drew attention to the case. Jadwiga Emilewicz’s visit to Ukraine was connected with a project that attracts Poland to restore Ukraine. She arrived at the seminar “Polish-Ukrainian cooperation and prospects for the restoration of Ukraine”. And this pilot project itself includes the restoration of 8 western and central regions.

Thus, Russian agitprop is systematically spreading messages that Poland wants to take over the western part of Ukraine. All this in order to sow discord between the two states and reduce Poles' support for Ukraine. Earlier, we refuted the fake that Volodymyr Zelenskyi and Andrzej Duda met in Lutsk to implement the first stage of the Warsaw Union.
