Kremlin Uses Disinformation to Turn Poles Against Ukrainians — Sikorski

The Kremlin is waging a massive campaign to divide European societies, using disinformation to turn Poles against Ukrainians, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski said, UATV English reports.

Sikorski made the remarks in an interview with Kathimerini.

“Rest assured, Russia has already declared war on us, just without tanks. The Kremlin is waging a massive campaign to divide our societies. They use disinformation to turn Poles against Ukrainians and stage crude provocations, such as throwing pig heads into mosques,” he said.

According to the Polish foreign minister, Europe is facing state- acts of sabotage, including assassination plots, attempts to sabotage railways, arson attacks carried out for money across Europe, and incursions by hostile drones into the airspace of EU countries.

“Just a few days ago, another Russian cruise missile violated Polish airspace,” Sikorski added.

The minister noted that Poland has more than five centuries of experience resisting Russian imperialism and therefore knows the methods used by Moscow.

“What has changed is the scale and the desperation. There is a clear correlation: the worse Russia performs on the battlefield in Ukraine, the more aggressively the Kremlin tries to destabilize the West in order to destroy our solidarity with the victim of its aggression,” Sikorski said.

Earlier, a district court in the southern Polish city of Sosnowiec sentenced a Russian citizen to seven years in prison for spying for Russian intelligence services and involvement in sending a parcel containing explosives.
