Polish special services are preparing for possible Russian sabotage operations aimed at inflaming tensions between Poles and Ukrainians, according to Tomasz Siemoniak, minister in charge of special services.
Russia’s Information Warfare
Siemoniak stated that Russian information warfare against Poland has intensified in recent weeks, with trolls and bots seeking to amplify disputes and influence Poland’s online space. He noted that Russia’s goal is to create the greatest possible tension between Poland and Ukraine.
Siemoniak also mentioned that authorities are not suggesting any specific plot is imminent but had to anticipate attempts by Russia to exploit current tensions. Western intelligence agencies are concerned about the risk of Russian hybrid or kinetic attacks against Poland and the Baltic states.
