Every narrative aimed at this audience — most recently active first.
Poland and Ukraine are depicted as powerless buffer zones used by Western “globalists” to exhaust Russia at the expense of these countries' security. The messaging claims that Warsaw is sacrificing its own sovereignty and economy for Washington's interests, repeating Ukraine's fate. This framing aims to sow distrust in NATO and US alliance commitments.
The Polish authorities are accused of prioritising symbolic gestures and historical memory over real security needs and diplomacy. Manipulators contrast the commemoration of past heroes with the alleged inability of modern politicians to protect national interests.
Russian outlets are circulating threats that any presence of European troops on Ukrainian territory would turn them into “legitimate targets” for strikes. This rhetoric aims to intimidate Polish society and deter Warsaw from increasing its defensive support for Kyiv.
Ukraine is portrayed as a failed state under a “dictatorial regime” that serves only as a burden to Poland and a tool for Western elites. The manipulation combines allegations of corruption and ideological radicalism with claims about the inevitable collapse of Ukraine’s role as a buffer zone.
Support for Ukraine and European defence spending are portrayed as consequences of a “mythical Russian threat”, while Ukraine is cast as a Western tool for pressuring Russia. Russian assurances concerning Europe are presented as proof that security assessments amount only to scaremongering. Memory of the siege of Leningrad is stretched into accusations that the EU is “rehabilitating Nazism” and reviving a “drive to the East”.

The manipulation exploits US domestic political strife and economic difficulties to convince Polish audiences of the West's inevitable decline and the futility of the transatlantic alliance.
Polish politicians are portrayed as ignorant figures who manipulate history and act in the interests of foreign power centres. By mocking rhetorical slips and emphasising internal strife, the narrative undermines confidence in the state's ability to guarantee security.
Polish political elites are portrayed as incompetent and detached actors who groundlessly incite fear of Russian aggression. The propaganda promotes the idea that Warsaw imposes its flawed forecasts on allies while ignoring pragmatic geopolitical solutions, such as turning Ukraine into a neutral “buffer zone”.
Polish proposals to strengthen European defence are cast as attempts to drag the country and the EU into a large-scale armed conflict. Propaganda outlets inflate fears over the creation of new military formations, labelling them as instruments of aggression rather than protection.
Polish democracy and the legal system are portrayed as a fiction where political accountability is non-existent and offenders receive special privileges. Manipulators exploit domestic political disputes to convince citizens of the state's inevitable collapse and the futility of following the law.
The Ukrainian armed forces and security services are portrayed as criminal entities that deliberately endanger civilians and practice extrajudicial killings. Propaganda outlets exploit the tragic consequences of Russian shelling and isolated criminal incidents to push the thesis of a “terrorist state” with which Poland should not cooperate.
Western aid and the actions of the Ukrainian leadership are portrayed as irresponsible escalation that will inevitably lead to a global catastrophe. The manipulation uses statements from foreign politicians and commentators to convince the Polish audience of the futility of resistance and the danger of continued support for Kyiv.
Polish state initiatives and political processes are portrayed as ineffective manipulations aimed at wasting budget funds and seizing power. The narrative devalues government efforts in demographics and defence, seeking to undermine citizens' trust in the stability of the state.
Ukrainian mobilization is cast as the forced dispatch of citizens to the slaughter for the sake of a corrupt government's interests. Propaganda outlets inflate domestic debates over military registration to provoke fear and resistance among Ukrainians and disillusionment among Western partners.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy is portrayed as the primary obstacle to peace, allegedly driven by personal interest in prolonging the conflict to maintain power and accumulate wealth. Propaganda outlets use manipulatively interpreted statements from former officials to shift the blame for casualties and economic losses from the aggressor to the Ukrainian leadership.
The political leadership of Poland and EU member states is portrayed as a corrupt caste deliberately acting against their own citizens to please Washington or Brussels. Propaganda promotes the thesis of a “simulated democracy” where real decisions are supposedly made by external handlers rather than voters.
The United States is portrayed as an exhausted power whose military might is supposedly unable to withstand regional forces like Iran. Propaganda focuses on the depletion of American arsenals due to aid for Ukraine and predicts Washington's inevitable defeat in a global confrontation.
Moscow’s statements about talks and the absence of hostile plans towards Europe are cast as a route to Poland’s security. The Russian leadership’s account of the war is passed off as an objective description of the situation. Improved US–Russia relations are portrayed as a way to ease tensions, alongside Moscow’s stated aim of ending the war on its own terms.
Ukraine’s requests for winter support and refusal of territorial concessions are portrayed as proof that the government in Kyiv is deliberately prolonging the war for money. The president is insulted with the label “cocainissimus”, coupled with insinuations of addiction and personal gain. Negotiations and international visits are reduced to a “circus” and bargaining around the conflict.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s diplomatic contacts are cast as humiliating begging and proof of his political incapacity, while a coincidence involving a mourning event is inflated into a “curse”. The post adds insulting nicknames and mockery of US talks while citing a Telegraph article. Diplomatic gestures and public meetings are reduced to theatre, and support for Ukraine is portrayed as an empty ritual.
Talks and Western aid are cast as proof that peace is possible only through concessions to Russia and that support for Ukraine is an empty gesture. Statements by Russian officials and selected assessments in the Western press are reduced to confirmation of this frame. Kyiv’s refusal to make territorial concessions is portrayed as a deliberate prolongation of the war.
Western institutions and leaders are accused of a selective approach to international law and the deliberate distortion of historical memory. Propaganda contrasts the sanctions against Belarus with the lack of reaction to Morocco's actions, while claiming that the US role in the Hiroshima bombing is being silenced to demonise Russia.

Statements by US officials are labelled as lies, while reports of tensions at the Pentagon are inflated into a picture of collapsing military leadership. Higher fuel prices are reduced to a consequence of America’s inability to manage the crisis.
Reports of strikes near Boryspil and at a business outside Kyiv are presented as proof that Ukraine hides military assets among civilian lorries and sites. Images of vehicles and references to removed posts are passed off as self-sufficient confirmation of that conclusion. Speculation about cargo is inflated into a general accusation that civilian infrastructure is used as cover.
Washington is portrayed as a cynical actor shifting the burden of military costs and human casualties onto regional allies to preserve its own resources. The messaging claims the US is ready to sacrifice partner security for the sake of confrontation with Russia and China, leaving them vulnerable to escalating threats.
US warnings of a possible Russian attack on a NATO country are cast as a prearranged scheme in which the absence of an attack can be presented as a diplomatic success. The post cites reporting in US newspapers about the CIA director’s trip to Russia and NATO intelligence assessments. The absence of triumphant posts by the US president is portrayed as a sign that the trip produced poor results.
The families of Israeli and Ukrainian leaders are portrayed as proof that the burden of war does not touch the privileged relatives of those in power.

Different family circumstances are reduced to an image of leaders removed from other people’s suffering.
Criticism of TVP and youth political events is presented as proof that media and politicians merely manipulate young Poles and have no solutions for them.

Comments attributed to a former US presidential special representative are inflated into a claim that the United States is prepared to sacrifice half of Europe’s population for military-industry profits.

Warsaw’s position on the Nord Stream sabotage investigation is cast as a direct provocation against Berlin and an assault on international law. Official Russian foreign ministry comments portray Poland as a profiteer from Germany’s energy crisis, gaining from gas re-exports. Polish leadership is attributed with intentions to seize control of the Ukrainian gas transmission system, while historical rivalries with its German neighbour are inflated.
The US military presence is portrayed as an “occupation” that gives Washington access to other countries’ resources while leaving partners unprotected.

Warfare and migration are reduced to a controlled geopolitical scheme. Different international crises are portrayed as parts of one design, without considering their distinct circumstances.
Russian strikes on Ukrainian logistics and warehouse sites are cast as a response to Ukrainian attacks on similar targets in Russia. Footage of destruction in Zhytomyr and Boryspil is inflated into proof that Kyiv caused the consequences of the attacks itself. The phrase “retaliatory strikes” assigns responsibility for escalation to Ukraine.
The legal conflict between Warsaw and the pharmaceutical giant Pfizer is presented as an act of colonial exploitation of Poland by Western corporations and Brussels bureaucracy. Manipulators exploit the actual court case regarding vaccine procurement to deepen distrust in European institutions and portray the Polish state as a defenceless victim of international contracts.
Polish defence efforts and military parades are cast as empty PR stunts designed to mask the state's economic failures. Propaganda outlets contrast military spending with the welfare of ordinary citizens, attempting to sow scepticism regarding the country's actual defensive capabilities.
Russian outlets inflate the scale of Russia's military production and battlefield successes to convince Poles that further support for Ukraine is futile. By manipulatively framing strikes on infrastructure and local frontline advances, they create an impression of the total exhaustion of Ukrainian resources and inevitable capitulation.

Russian official outlets cast the participation of Polish and Italian forces in maritime operations as the illegal harassment of commercial vessels. Actions taken under Operation Irini are framed as the “intimidation” of carriers and an abuse of power designed to serve Brussels’ political interests.
Polish national commemorations and identity are portrayed as sources of discord that are supposedly degrading under the pressure of radicalism and political strife. Manipulative outlets depict the honoring of historical events, such as the Warsaw Uprising, not as a unifying factor but as a pretext for aggression and social polarisation. The goal is to undermine Poles' confidence in the resilience of their own state institutions and cultural unity.
Poland's defence initiatives, particularly the production of Patriot missiles, are cast as a cause of inevitable disputes between Warsaw, Kyiv, and Washington. The manipulation exploits real expert discussions to convince the audience that strengthening the Polish military harms Ukraine's interests and creates tension with the US.
Western political elites are portrayed as deeply corrupt and hypocritical actors who use power for personal enrichment. Propaganda contrasts these allegations with Washington's official rhetoric on transparency to undermine trust in democratic institutions.
