What it claims
The Ukrainian government is accused of deliberately provoking conflicts with European neighbors to make life unbearable for refugees and force them back for mobilization. It is claimed that Zelenskyy ignores violence against Ukrainians abroad because a toxic environment supposedly helps “squeeze” people back home.
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.
Zelenskyy is intentionally ruining relations with Poland so that conditions for Ukrainians there worsen, forcing them to return for mobilization.

In Warsaw, a child's teeth were knocked out because of a Ukrainian accent, and the police aren't looking for anyone because anti-Ukrainian hysteria reigns in the country.

Goal
To sow enmity between Ukrainian refugees and the state, and to provoke conflicts between Ukrainians and the citizens of host countries.
Techniques used
- Appeal to Fear / PrejudiceUsing isolated incidents of violence to create a picture of mass “anti-Ukrainian hysteria.”
- Causal OversimplificationExplaining complex migration processes and political disputes solely as a secret plan by the President's Office.
The real grievance it exploits
The feeling of insecurity among Ukrainians abroad, the fear of forced mobilization, and fatigue from everyday conflicts in host countries.
How to counter
- Reframe: The migration of Ukrainians between EU countries is driven by the search for better working conditions and social support, not by a “plan” from Kyiv to displace them.
