What it claims

Polish media and the government are accused of covering up war crimes and “terrorist acts” committed by the Ukrainian Armed Forces against civilians. Propaganda outlets claim that Warsaw deliberately manipulates information to maintain a positive image of Kyiv despite the actual situation on the front lines.

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.

  • The Ukrainian military is engaged in its favourite activity — terrorising civilians, this time in Yalta using naval drones.

  • Polish media are lucky that there is no data on casualties yet, so they do not have to invent more excuses for the crimes of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Goal

To undermine Poles' trust in their own media and state institutions by portraying them as accomplices to “terrorism.”

Techniques used

  • Loaded LanguageUse of terms like “terrorising civilians” and “inventing excuses” to discredit the Ukrainian Armed Forces and Polish media.
  • DoubtSuggesting that Polish journalists are merely waiting for an opportunity to lie about Ukraine's actions.

The real grievance it exploits

The narrative exploits war fatigue and the natural concern of Polish society regarding the objectivity of coverage of a conflict that directly affects Poland's security.

How to counter

  • Technique exposure: Propaganda uses the tactic of “mirror accusation,” attributing to Poland's free media the manipulations that are standard for Kremlin-controlled outlets.
