The head of the Polish National Security Bureau, Jacek Siewiera, said in an interview with Polskie Radio that Poland currently has no plans to send peacekeepers to Ukraine. One of the reasons for this decision is the desire not to contribute to the spread of Russian disinformation about Warsaw's alleged plans to annex the western regions of Ukraine. This is reported by the Centre for Strategic Communication and Information Security.

“This narrative that Poland is allegedly interested in seizing western Ukraine has been used for years, but since the start of a full-scale war it has been further intensified. If our troops are involved, it will receive additional fuel”, Siewiera noted.

At the same time, he suggested that the possibility of sending European peacekeepers to Ukraine remains potentially discussable in the future. However, for Moscow, this is an undesirable scenario, which is why Russian propaganda is intensifying the information war, trying to “mine” the public space with fabricated fakes.

Russian propaganda spreads disinformation about possible Polish plans to annex western Ukraine to achieve several goals. It creates the impression that Poland has hidden geopolitical interests in Ukraine, which could cause tension between the countries. The spread of such messages is intended to sow doubts about the sincerity of European countries' support for Ukraine. These messages are designed to turn Ukrainians against Poland and split the unity of the West.
