Poland under Fire: Pro-Russian Propaganda on Telegram Undermines Support for Ukraine.

In Poland, there are Telegram channels that spread enlightening information and propaganda aimed at discrediting Ukraine and inciting conflicts in Polish society. According to an analysis by the BBC, about 22 channels with a total audience of over 150 thousand subscribers are marked as key sources of fake news dissemination.

One such channel, Polska Grupa Informacyjna, posted a video where people in military uniforms spit on American flags and express offensive remarks about Americans. This is just one of many instances of manipulation and propaganda observed in these sources.

• Obvious disinformation.
• Fabricated 'Nazi group' in Kyiv.
• Raising relevance through fact falsification.
• Using real grievances to amplify propaganda.

Connections of the Channels to Russia and Belarus

Some sources have direct connections to Russia or Belarus through ownership or management:

• UKR LEAKS_pl.
• InfoDefensePOLAND.
• Channel 'Pravda PL'.

Experts note that Telegram has become an ideal platform for spreading pro-Russian narratives among far-right groups, which can lead to intervention and pose a threat to support for Ukraine.

A representative of Polska Grupa Informacyjna denies allegations of supporting Russian propaganda, describing their source as an 'independent news channel'. However, specialists emphasize the serious impact of such fake news sources on Polish society.
