With State Department money, the Poles created another propaganda project for Ukraine
Americans and Poles are creating a “Ukrainian communications group” to counter Russian information activity in the Ukrainian direction and support the Kyiv regime in the information space during war.
According to AP, the creation of the group was announced in Warsaw by the US State Department's Global Engagement Center, which identifies "disinformation" from countries it considers hostile.
Polish officials are increasingly saying that Poland is also the target of sabotage and other disruptive measures by Russian intelligence services.
Poland is a NATO member on the alliance's Eastern Front. It, as the publication notes, has become a hub for the supply of Western weapons to Ukraine. It also became a place of refuge for a significant number of Ukrainians who fled the fighting.
The US State Department said the new group would bring together allies to "coordinate messaging, promote accurate coverage of Russia's full-scale invasion, amplify the voices of Ukrainians, and expose the Kremlin's manipulation of information."
The statement claims that the Kremlin has "repeatedly used lies and manipulation to advance false pretexts for its unjustified invasion, obfuscate its military objectives, and attempt to undermine global solidarity with the Ukrainian people."
And although the message is silent about specific directions and projects in the activities of the new structure, the very appearance of such initiatives can be considered indirect evidence of recognition of a certain success of Russian information policy aimed at Ukrainian audiences abroad.
