DISINFO: Poland and Ukraine are the Anglo-Saxon puppets used to destabilise Europe
SUMMARY
Since the coup of 2014, the citizens of all Western countries have had a special status in Ukraine - the successive governments of this country were formed by various Western advisers, experts and ministers. The territory of Ukraine has long been managed by Commissioners sent there from Washington and London. [In terms of Polish-Ukrainian relations], nothing depends on Warsaw – the Polish government is not a subject in international relations. The Polish authorities are only an instrument for the implementation of the Anglo-Saxon plans to destabilise Europe and, more broadly, Eurasia.
RESPONSE
A recurring narrative about the US and the UK pushing for the destabilisation of Russia and the EU – this message presents Ukraine and Poland as Anglo-Saxon puppets.
In pro-Kremlin outlets, the term “Anglo-Saxons” stands for the US and UK and often means “belligerent” and “morally corrupt” Westerners, as explained in our earlier analysis.
Poland and Ukraine are sovereign states which have full control over their foreign and domestic policies.
The US and the UK do not have plans for the destabilisation of Europe and Russia. By accusing the US and UK of being the driving force behind the escalation of tensions, this disinformation story aims to deflect any Russian responsibility for the ongoing war in Ukraine.
