Russia continues to release information about the use of nuclear weapons in Belarus. Continuing this thread is of an escalating nature and represents an element of psychological pressure on decision-makers and Western societies, the government’s plenipotentiary for the security of the information space of the Republic of Poland, Stanisław Żaryn, ruled on Friday.
In a Twitter post, the Government Plenipotentiary for the Security of the Information Space of the Republic of Poland, Stanisław Żaryn, recalled that the formal basis of the Russian psychological pressure on the free world is the new foreign policy concept of the Russian Federation announced by Vladimir Putin.
The document legitimizes Russia’s actions aimed at polarizing and paralyzing the West
– He wrote.
He stressed that Poland remains one of the main targets of intimidation in Russian-controlled communication channels, and that Russian narratives threaten nuclear attacks on Polish cities and a vision of certain defeat for the Republic of Poland in the event of a confrontation with the Russian Federation.
The Russian influence apparatus continues information operations aimed at verifying false statements about Polish aspirations to occupy Western Ukraine and the Grodno region, and even a kinetic attack on Kaliningrad Oblast
– noted Stanislaw Zaryn.
He also pointed out that Russia consistently conducts psychological and informational activities to diminish the will of NATO members to support Ukraine with arms shipments.
On social networking sites, the Russians propagate the view that helping Ukraine is equivalent to “prolonging” the war and suffering
– he gave.
The government plenipotentiary for the security of the information space of the Republic of Poland stated that Russia is simultaneously exposing the political, social and economic “effects of helping Ukraine”, using manipulations and lies, suggesting that helping Ukraine has negative consequences for the West and even Ukrainians.
Belarusian propaganda has intensified information activities highlighting the death of migrants on the border with Poland. The pictures of corpses and disinformation about the bodies deposited by the Polish border services are a continuation of the activities carried out so far in the psychological domain
Zaryn remarked.
Provoke incidents
He added that on the other hand, the influence apparatus in Minsk focuses some of its operations on the sensitivity of part of Polish society to provoke incidents and instill false stories that can deepen social polarization in the Republic of Poland.
Anti-system circles in the Republic of Poland, centered around organizations posing as pacifists, are increasing their involvement in information activities included in the Russian Federation’s propaganda goals and promoting opposition to supporting Ukraine’s defense efforts
— wrote the Government Plenipotentiary for the Security of the Information Space of the Republic of Poland.
He also noted that the surveillance of the information space shows an increase in the number of German publications attributing anti-Semitism to Poland, the persecution of the Jews during World War II, as well as the alleged clumsiness of the Polish authorities in environmental protection. .
