War in Ukraine. Russia about Andrzej Duda

Stanisław aryn added that as part of propaganda activities related to the war in Ukraine, a new thread emerged, satirizing Andrzej Duda’s relationship with Ukrainian nationalist Mikhail Ivanovich Duda, who was involved in the Volyn Crime. The same name was used by Russian propagandists to denigrate the Polish president by suggesting false links to UPA activists who took part in the fighting with Poland during World War II, asserts colleague Mariusz Kamiński.

According to the spokesperson’s information, from the very beginning of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the grandparents of several European politicians were linked by Kremlin propaganda with Nazi ideology. The action against Andrzej Duda was part of a wider campaign against the West, Stanisław aryn stressed. Russian propaganda for years has used lies about history to denigrate the West or justify its imperial actions against other countries and peoples, he added.

Only Ukraine has the right to decide its future. Nothing about you, without you – Andrzej Duda announced. – There are disturbing reports that Ukraine should bow to Putin’s demands. Only Ukraine has the right to decide its future. Nothing about you, without you, said the president.

According to the Ukrinform agency, the Polish president spoke about the need to sign a new good neighbor agreement with Ukraine. According to the president, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has shown that the road, rail and infrastructure connections between Ukraine and Poland are insufficient. – The Polish-Ukrainian border should be united, not divided. A sign of good Polish-Ukrainian relations are the high-speed rail links between Kiev and Warsaw. We will build it together – he assured.
