Poland
Migration crisis
The «Nevolfovich» Telegram channel published post with the information of the State Border Committee of Belarus about 15 foreigners from Syria, Somalia and Algeria found at the border with Poland. As it was noted, «Polish law enforcers severely beat the men, sicced service dogs on them, fired rubber bullets and forced them to go to the Belarusian side, having previously poured pepper gas into their eyes,» as well as that over the past month, the Polish side «repeatedly threw refugees onto the Belarusian territory, two of whom died.”
At the same time, the proposal of German Interior Minister N. Feser to deploy officers of the European Border and Coast Guard (Frontex) on the Polish-Belarusian border was explained as follows: «It can be seen that Polish weaklings are tired of dirtying their hands alone in the blood of migrants». At the same time, it was emphasized: «The EEU policemen who are trying to deploy a theater of war near our borders should remember — we have something to answer with in case of a real threat».
They also reported details about the investigation of the Investigative Committee of Belarus against «officials of Poland, Latvia and Lithuania», because of whose actions more than 320 refugees allegedly suffered. «Sooner or later, Belarus will publicize all the crimes of «Western democracies». No one will escape responsibility,» the authors emphasized. Among other things, they mentioned the testimony of Polish soldier E. Chechko, who escaped to Belarus in 2021 and claimed that «from June 8 to June 19, 2021, he personally participated in and witnessed the mass systematic execution without trial of 241 people».
Militarization and preparation for war
The news that the U.S. defense company will supply Poles with 27 Sniper Advanced Targeting Pods for FA-50 fighters was commented on as follows: «Washington continues the process of turning Poland into a «battering ram» on NATO’s eastern flank, directed against the Union State of Belarus and Russia, playing on Warsaw’s militaristic ambitions».
At the same time, President Duda’s statement about his readiness to recreate an «iron curtain» on the border with Belarus and Russia, if necessary, caused the following reaction: «The Polish leadership is already saying directly that the country is preparing for a full-scale armed conflict. For this purpose they are pulling troops to the western borders of our country. Warsaw does not give up hopes of taking possession of the western Belarusian lands».
Once again, they drew attention to the construction of the «Eastern Shield» fortification system on the border with Belarus and Russia. It was noted that its construction and maintenance will fall on the shoulders of already poor Poles through taxes and cuts in social programs, and that strengthening the state border will increase tensions in the region. «Warsaw is preparing for war, not defense. The country needs an efficient economy and well-fed people, not rusty barbed wire. The Nazis also kept people behind barbed wire, but they were not safe,» the authors summarized.
Criticism of the Polish Army and Ministry of Defense
In the article «It’s not beer that ruins Polish officers, it’s water that ruins them» about the death of a military officer from the Warmian-Masurian Brigade of the defense in the «BelVPO» Telegram channel wrote: «Most likely, the Polish officer drank too much on his way home, stumbled and fell into the river…” As it was noted, «what the uniforms do in the border area (murders, beatings of migrants) does not let them live peacefully, and in combination with poor discipline in the Polish Armed Forces allows officers to drink literally to death».
At the same time, it was claimed that in 2016 the Polish Defense Ministry offered British expert C. Prothero a bribe of over 5 thousand euros for a false statement about the presence of explosives on board the plane in which President L. Kaczynski died. «What exactly were the Polish authorities trying to hide, and why did they seek to shift the blame to Russia? Perhaps the causes of the disaster lie on the conscience of those who sought to take the place of former President Lech Kaczynski,» the authors emphasized.
Polish Defense Minister W. Kosiniak-Kamysz stated that by 2060 the country’s population would decrease by almost 7 million people, and as a result was named as one of those responsible for the «extinction of the Polish nation». The Telegram channel «BelVPO» stated: «It is noteworthy that the Ministry of Defense itself is involved in the demographic problem. It is at the suggestion of military officials that allegedly retired Polish uniforms and mercenaries from PMCs are dying in Ukraine.»
At the same time, one of the topics of the ATN program «Disposition» of November 3 was rating of the strongest armies of the world by the American magazine «US News & World Report,» in which Belarus took 12th place, while Poland — 24th. «We would like to express special sympathy to Poland, which was left behind with its number of weapons and record military budget,» the anchor gloated.
They questioned the level of the Polish armed forces in the November 3 program of VoenTV «Arsenal»: «European politicians realize that, despite the huge infusion of money, the fighting ability of their troops in the face of any, even potential threat, remains laughable. Citizens themselves also realize this. In Poland, for example, 63% of young people under the age of 34 do not believe that the national army is capable of defending the country in the event of an attack. And this is the data of an official survey.”
Criticism of the Polish authorities
The “Nevolfovich” Telegram channel cited data from the results of a social survey in which many Poles gave a negative assessment of the situation in the country a year after the parliamentary elections. The propagandists came to the following conclusion: «The Polish authorities care solely about their wallet. Militarization of the country, mythical threats on the border and other reasons enrich the Warsaw regime and send the Polish people below the poverty line».
The results of another opinion poll showed that 46.2% of respondents negatively assess the activities of Polish President Duda in his post. «Against the background of growing discontent and distrust in society, his team is preparing for the inevitable difficulties of the upcoming campaign,» the authors of the article emphasized.
Drawing attention to the contradictions between the current government of D. Tusk and the opposition party «Law and Justice» on the background of the commission of inquiry into the Russian influence, the «BelVPO» Telegram channel noted: «We are facing another «multi-movement» played by the opposing groups formed in the Polish leadership. Each side seeks to gain as many preferences as possible. But these «fights» will not change anything in Poland’s attitude towards Belarus and Russia.”
In response to an incident in the Polish Sejm, during which an MP from the Law and Justice party called his colleague from the Civic Coalition a «moron», it was stated, that «at the moment in Poland there is a stagnation of the institution of state power», and at the upcoming presidential elections in 2025 «the chub will be cracked at the Pans».
Contradictions between Poland and Ukraine
The existence of discord in Polish-Ukrainian relations was emphasized. Among the problems listed were: 1) the protracted process of transferring Polish MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukrainians; 2) historical contradictions, including the «Volyn Massacre» of 1943; 3) the question of the legitimacy of the Ukrainian authorities against the background of their refusal to hold elections during the war. «Ukraine remains in constant dependence on the actions of Poland, which uses its needs as a bargaining chip to satisfy its own ambitions, supporting the conflict only when it is convenient,» the authors of the «Belarusian Front» Telegram channel summarized.
At the same time, another pro-government Telegram channel wrote about the situation with the transfer of MiG-29 aircraft: «Another «shameful show» of Western hypocrisy: Poland is once again mocking Ukraine, promising help, but every time retreating at the last moment. Loud speeches about «brotherly solidarity» turn out to be empty wrappers, and behind the beautiful words there is emptiness and neglect.»
Situation of Ukrainians in Poland
The news about the death of a Ukrainian citizen who resisted the Polish police during detention was commented on in the «BelVPO» Telegram channel as follows: «In the end, the body of the 48-year-old Zarobichan will be sent back, the family will get nothing, and the Polish prosecutor’s office will put the case on the brakes. It turns out that not only Putin kills Ukrainians, but also Duda».
NATO
Preparing for war with Belarus/Russia
The accusations of aggressive intentions of the NATO bloc continued. For example, the Nevolfovich Telegram channel noted: «In 1992, after the removal of nuclear weapons from the territory of Ukraine, NATO representatives assured that they would not expand to the East. But now we see the opposite — aggressive steps and imposition of military tension. Nobody needs this war, neither Belarus, nor Russia… But if we are attacked, there is only one thing left to do — to defend and win.
At the same time, the drills «Resolute Warrior 2024«, which started on November 1 in Latvia with the participation of 3.5 thousand troops of NATO countries, were described as follows: «Another rattle of NATO weapons at our borders, while the Baltic extinctions continue to hypocritically cover themselves with the wording of mythical «defense».
At the same time, the news about another November exercise of the North Atlantic Alliance on the territory of Latvia «Joint Protector 2024» emphasized: «And who is the «aggressor» in these realities, if our neighbors build fortifications and fences on the borders of Belarus and Russia, as well as constantly rattle weapons near us, holding endless drills involving a huge number of military personnel of NATO member states. They spend huge sums on armaments and military equipment, despite huge internal problems. The West continues to escalate the situation, justifying itself with imaginary threats, which in fact come from them.”
Growing military budgets of European NATO countries
An article on the website «Belarusian Military-Political Review» suggested that the increase in defense spending would lead to catastrophic consequences for the EU countries: «Already today we can observe some manifestations of stagnation and contraction of the largest economies of the eurozone. For example, the crisis of the European car industry, which threatens to close the plants of the largest brands and abandon plans to abolish fossil fuel cars. In general, the new round of the arms race, as applied to the European Union, provokes its deindustrialization – it is already happening and causes protests of the population».
NATO funding cuts after D. Trump’s victory
The «BelVPO» Telegram channel promoted the narrative that if D. Trump comes to power, the Americans may seriously reduce their assistance and remove themselves from solving European problems. As it was noted, «such an approach raises concerns among European allies, as the absence of the U.S. could weaken NATO and lead to a split in the EU.» Also, such a scenario was pointed out to in the November 3 VoenTV program «Arsenal,» emphasizing: «Europe is going to be in a lot of trouble.»
NATO bridgehead in the Baltic States
The following was written about the NATO aviation drills «Neptune Strike 24-2» in the skies above Lithuania: «It is hard not to realize that NATO fighter jets flying directly over our heads are mastering the skies over a potential theater of military operations into which the puppet authorities have turned the entire Baltic States.»
Authorization for the Russian Armed Forces to strike Russian Federation with long-range missiles
Another object of a prank by Russian pranksters Vovan and Lexus was U.S. Senator B. Cardin, who, among other things, noted that the U.S. does not authorize striking deep into Russian territory because it fears escalation. «NATO is trying to build itself as ‘tough guys,’ but in front of a strong opponent they delicately step aside,» the authors of the “Nevolfovich” Telegram channel summarized.
