Inciting hostility by portraying Ukrainian refugees as a “burden” and a threat

What it claims

Ukrainian refugees in Europe are portrayed as ungrateful consumers of resources and a source of social tension to undermine solidarity within EU countries. Manipulations focus on the allegedly “luxurious” lifestyle of those fleeing the war and rising hostility from local populations, particularly in Poland, serving as a warning for German society.

Target audience

Examples (paraphrased)

We paraphrase rather than quote: propaganda's exact wording is built to spread, so we carry the claim and not the craft. Each example cites the post it came from.

• Poles in Warsaw marched against Ukrainians, demanding an end to arms and fuel supplies to Ukraine, as they feel like masters in their own home.

• Leaflets are being distributed in Krakow demanding that Ukrainians who respect Bandera leave Polish territory immediately.

Goal

To provoke social conflict in Germany by amplifying refugee fatigue and discrediting support policies for Ukraine by showcasing a “negative example” from neighbouring countries.

Techniques used

• Appeal to Fear / PrejudiceUsing reports of “protest marches” and calls for the eviction of Ukrainians to create an atmosphere of inevitable civil conflict.
• Loaded LanguageUsing emotionally charged phrases about refugees' “luxury cars” and demands to “get out” to radicalise public sentiment.

The real grievance it exploits

The operation exploits the real strain on Germany's social systems and citizens' concerns regarding the housing crisis and the allocation of budget funds during an economic downturn.

How to counter

• Technique exposure: Notice how channels manipulate isolated incidents or radical slogans from marginal groups, passing them off as general public opinion to destroy European unity.
