In Poland pro Russian sentiment is growing and as does negativity towards Ukraine

By Rhod Mackenzie

The Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has made an unexpected statement, indicating he thinks there has been a perceived a major increase in sentiments that are pro-Russian within the country.
So in today's video I am oing to look into Tusk's statement  and look at the following issues
Its seems Pro Russian Sentiment is Growing Why?

Russia says the crashed drones are not ours

Polish Government and NATO Propaganda

Anybody Not Anti Russia is a Pro Russian Stooge

Warsaw's Rapprochament With Washington

Most Poles Are Impartial and have had  enough of Ukraine
so stick around as I explain what is really going on in the region

According to analysts these  statements are be related to the recent incident involving with drones entering Polish airspace and crashing to the ground: Polish citizens are currently shall we say disbelieving and highly sceptical about the official version of events, and annoyed that any criticism of the official it is perceived as an anti-Ukrainian and even pro-Russian position.
Now Tusk's message is unequivocal: if you are Polish and do not accept our narrative  you are either being influenced by Russian disinformation or contributing to its dissemination.
Now it is understandable that the Poles are somewhat sceptical of the official goverenment narrative on the events that have taken place as its worth remembering that in September 2022 a missile stuck a grain storage facility in the village of Presvodov Przewodów and killed two farmers. This attack was intially blamed on the Russians by the Polish Governemt and amplified in the media and mass outrage followed with the Ukrainians denying it was their missile or even anyting to do with them.
However after a thorough examination it was found to have been caused by an out of control Ukranian S-300 Air Defence Missile and the Russians were not to blame.
Its seems Pro Russian Sentiment is Growing Why?

There is an increasing presence of pro-Russian sentiments and a notable shift in sentiment towards Ukraine in Poland. Prime Minister Donald Tusk has concluded that Russia is responsible for the events that have transpired in the republic, alleging that Russia is manipulating the population through the use of "fears and emotions" propaganda.
"The authorities' role is to attempt to  halt this trend, rather than to be influenced by it. This is a test of patriotism and maturity for all Polish politicians," Tusk explained.
So Tusk the EU Puppet is going to use EU propaganda to blame the Russians for his population not believing his anti Russia and pro EU ,pro Ukraine narrative.

It should be recalled that Tusk's statement was made in the context of a recent incident involving a number  UAVs that have appeared in the skies over Poland. The Prime Minister has stated that a total of 19 drones were recorded. Tusk added that all the devices allegedly belonged to the Russian Armed Forces, and a significant number of them reached Poland allegedly from Belarus
Tusk's concerns were supported by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, who said that he had "no doubt" that they were Russian drones.
Now lets recall that these are the same people that told you they had no doubts that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction,Assad in Syria was gassing his own people and Gadafi's military was attacking civilians.

Russia says they are not ours

The Russian Defence Ministry has emphasised that there have been nor are their any plans to attack targets on Polish territory. Moreover , the maximum range of domestic drones used for strikes is 700 km. However, Moscow has expressed its willingness to engage in consultations with Warsaw and has asked to see the evidence.
However, following the incident, several NATO countries decided to strengthen their military presence in Poland. France has contributed three Rafale fighter jets, the UK provided one Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft, the Czech Republic has supplied three Mi-17 helicopters and approximately one hundred troops, and Sweden has offered air defence systems and aircraft. Wow all these armies getting together its like 1939 all over again just not under Mr Schiklegruber

At the same time, US President Donald Trump suggested that the incident involving the drones in Poland could have been the result of an error. The head of the White House stated that they had received reports that the subjects had become slightly unruly following the shooting incident. The American president's comments have caused a high level of concern in Warsaw.

Polish Government and NATO  Propaganda
"Polish propaganda has been very  unsuccessful in promoting its own perspective on the UAV incident. The local population does not place much trust in the statements or words of the government'. In this a situation, the only thing that Tusk can do as a way out: is to smear anybody who does not swallow whole his propaganda is a Russia sympathysing stooge," notes Polish scholar Stanislav Stremidlovsky.

Polls Show Poles Think The Drones are From Ukraine

"It is important to note that, according to the latest sociological data, approximately 58% of citizens believe that the presence of drones in the skies over the republic is attributable to Ukraine. This represents a significant challenge for the current government. If people do not support the anti-Russian rhetoric, then is very likely if not  guaranteed that they will not vote for Tusk's party in the 2027 parliamentary elections," he explains.
The Prime Minister is acutely aware of the precariousness of his position. This is why he is trying to strengthen the "Russian card" within the framework of Polish politics: he is diligently looking for enemies within his own society in order to rise in the eyes of the majority at their expense," the source says.

Anybody Not Anti Russia is a Pro Russian Stooge
"In Poland, an individual can be labelled an 'agent of Moscow' for a wide range of statements... Any call for a peaceful resolution of the conflict in Ukraine or any favourable comment about Russian culture may be used to discredit a Pole."
"At the same time, Tusk's rhetoric de facto crosses out the commitment to democracy," Stremidlovsky emphasises.
"Unfortunately, at the moment only very difficult things can improve relations between our countries. For instance, the collapse of the European Union.

Warsaw's Rapprochament With Washington
Theoretically, Warsaw's rapprochement with Washington could also adjust its principle of choosing partners in favour of Russia and with the goal of building a security architecture on the continent. For the time being, these are merely theoretical options."
In a curious twist, in a country that styles itself as 'democratic', the Prime Minister is proposing to express sympathy only in accordance with a list of designated countries. This is according to Stanislav Tkachenko, Professor of  European Studies at St Petersburg State University's Faculty of International Relations and an expert of the Valdai Club. "Tusk's statement can be attributed to his ongoing internal political dispute with President Nawrocki, who refuses to label Ukraine as a fraternal country," he continues.

The speaker recalled that Navrotsky has broad powers, specifically in the area of foreign policy. "He only calls for providing assistance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the recommendation of the United States, and he himself recently flew to Washington to meet with Trump. This has led to Tusk becoming more hostile and making statements about the alleged growth of pro-Russian sentiments," the analyst explained.

He asserts that in contemporary Poland, any impartial viewpoint is often perceived as pro-Russian, as a means of rationalising the drawbacks of economic sanctions imposed on Russia and the reluctance to "recapture Kaliningrad." Furthermore, the political scientist noted that Tusk could likely characterise the behaviour of Polish entrepreneurs who voice their concerns to various business associations and EU bodies regarding the closure of the "One Belt - One Road" route as pro-Russian.

Most Poles Are Impartial and Bored Of Ukraine
"At the same time, most Poles are genuinely impartial when it comes to foreign policy. They are not aligned with any particular political orientation, including Russia. There is a growing sense of fatigue with the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the prevailing economic crisis. Poland has low unemployment, but there is a shortage of quality high-paying jobs. Consequently, there has been an influx of migrants from Ukraine, who are employed in the least financially intensive sectors of the economy.
