Recent crises in Polish-Ukrainian relations are being leveraged by Russian and Belarusian propaganda efforts. A surge of anti-Ukrainian content is appearing on social media within Poland, however, the source isn’t solely external. Dr. Michał Marek of NASK indicates a significant portion of this harmful reach originates from “internal actors” within Poland itself. These domestic sources are actively contributing to the spread of negative sentiment towards Ukrainians residing in the country. This suggests a more complex dynamic than simple foreign interference, with elements inside Poland amplifying tensions. The findings raise concerns about the deliberate fueling of discord and its potential impact on bilateral relations. The situation requires increased scrutiny of internal disinformation networks and their motivations.
