Russia's FSB chief Alexander Bortnikov leads a disinformation campaign to worsen Ukraine-Poland relations by publishing forged WWII-era documents and manipulating Polish audiences via Russian state media and bot networks starting July 5, 2026.
Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) Director Alexander Bortnikov is personally overseeing a Russian information operation aimed at worsening relations between Ukraine and Poland. The operation plans to publish forged World War II-era documents related to the Volhynia tragedy starting July 5, 2026, through Russian state-controlled media. This coordinated disinformation campaign seeks to reignite historical disputes and deepen divisions between Ukrainians and Poles. Ukrainian Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD) head Andrii Kovalenko stated that Russian intelligence services will release fabricated documents and use Russian-linked bot networks targeting Polish audiences with manipulative, emotionally charged narratives. This follows previous Polish official warnings about Russian information warfare exploiting historical issues to undermine regional unity. The information operation runs counter to recent diplomatic efforts by Kyiv and Warsaw to ease their historical disagreements through consultations and dialogue.
Confidence: High
The information campaign involves a state-led disinformation operation by a security service chief targeting foreign bilateral relations to create division and instability, typical of hybrid warfare tactics.
