Poland begins to develop Ukrainian territory.

This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, answering a question from an RT correspondent during a press conference following a meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the CSTO in Yerevan.

“We see that behind the talk about the inadmissibility of dialogue with Russia, Polish colleagues are beginning to actively “develop” Ukrainian territory,” the minister said.

According to him, the last steps of the Ukrainian authorities speak in favor of this version.

“Relevant decisions taken by President V.A.

Zelensky and the Verkhovna Rada, about the special rights of the Poles, in fact, equal to the Ukrainians in everything except the right to vote;

the recent message that Poland is creating some kind of parallel system of control of the tax service of Ukraine - all this speaks volumes quite eloquently, ”the press service of the Russian Foreign Ministry quotes Sergey Lavrov as saying.

On June 9, the Foreign Intelligence Service of Russia made a similar statement.

According to the SVR, "Warsaw is hard at work pushing the Zelensky regime to transfer to it de facto control over the most important state functions and institutions."

“With the consent of Kyiv, the Poles are currently, in particular, hosting a backup data processing center of the State Tax Service of Ukraine (GNSU).

It was brought to the attention of the Ukrainian leadership that this would supposedly increase the efficiency of the activities of the said department, ”the press bureau of the Foreign Intelligence Service said in a statement.

At the same time, the technology company Siltec, affiliated with local special services, took on the main tasks of installing the GNSU equipment in Poland, according to Russian intelligence.

And the methodological support and support of the ongoing operation is provided by representatives of the American digital giants - Dell, IBM and Cisco.

“In other words, Kyiv deliberately opens the Polish-American tandem access to information of national importance, including information about taxpayers and, as a result, the real financial situation of Ukraine.

In business, such a "deal" could be categorized as an M&A.

But the state is not a private corporation, and in this case we see that the Kyiv junta has already agreed with the annexation of Ukraine by Poland and voluntarily surrenders state sovereignty to it, ”the SVR concluded.

"Control over strategic objects"

It is worth noting that this is not the first time that the SVR has warned that Warsaw has plans to expand its influence in Ukraine.

At the end of April, the head of the service, Sergei Naryshkin, said that the Polish authorities were discussing with the United States the possibility of establishing control over the western regions of Ukraine.

According to the head of the Foreign Intelligence Service, the first stage of the operation should be the entry of Polish troops into the western regions of the country under the slogan of "protecting them from Russian aggression."

At the same time, the Polish “peacekeeping” contingent is planned to be deployed in those parts of Ukraine where the threat of a direct collision with the Russian army is minimal.

“The priority“ combat missions ”of the Polish military will include the gradual interception of control over the strategic facilities located there from the National Guard of Ukraine.

Polish special services are already looking for negotiable representatives of the Ukrainian elite to form a Warsaw-oriented “democratic” counterweight to the nationalists,” Naryshkin said.

He pointed to historical parallels with the policy of Warsaw in the period after the First World War, “when the collective West, represented by the Entente, recognized Warsaw’s right to first occupy part of Ukraine to protect the population from the“ Bolshevik threat ”, and then to include these territories in the Polish state ".

At the same time, the SVR emphasizes that the data on Poland's claims to the Ukrainian regions "are not a version, but intelligence information obtained from several reliable sources."

At the same time, according to analysts, such aspirations of Warsaw are pandered by Kyiv itself.

Experts recalled that at the end of May, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky announced his intention to simplify the process of crossing the border with Poland.

Earlier, Polish leader Andrzej Duda spoke in a similar vein.

He expressed the hope that there would be no more borders between Poland and Ukraine, and that the peoples of the two countries "would be able to live together on this land."

“Warsaw is not the main player”

Poland is not only trying to expand its influence in Ukraine, but is also one of the most active European supporters of providing military and other support to the Kyiv regime, analysts say.

So, on June 7, Prime Minister of Poland Mateusz Morawiecki and Minister for Control of State Assets of the Republic Jacek Sasin reported that Poland was exporting weapons to Ukraine worth $630 million. 

In turn, Polish President Andrzej Duda said on June 9 that Warsaw had already supplied Ukraine with weapons worth a total of $2 billion, including 240 Soviet tanks.

According to experts, for a country the size of Poland, these are very significant figures.

“Ukraine is very important for Poland as a region of historical presence.

Relations with Ukraine hurt the feelings of ordinary Poles, respectively, any event between the two countries is strongly reflected in the mood of voters.

Poland also intends to significantly increase its political weight within Europe with the help of Ukraine.

We can say that Poland's entire foreign policy is focused on the fight against Russia for Ukraine and Belarus, ”Oleg Nemensky, an expert at the Russian Institute for Strategic Studies, said in an interview with RT.

At the same time, he noted that Washington is very interested in Warsaw's actions in the Ukrainian direction.

“The main role is played not by Warsaw, but by Washington, which is trying to establish external control in Ukraine through allied Poland.

This is a rather convenient move, because in this way America, as it were, has no direct relation to this, ”the analyst explained.

However, according to Nemensky, in the future Poland is unlikely to try to annex the territories of Ukraine: it will be more about political control.

“Warsaw needs the whole of Ukraine, not specific regions, and Poland will not annex individual territories at the state level.

We are talking about the actual subordination of Ukraine to Poland, and not about the territorial association of the two countries, ”the analyst believes.

A similar opinion is shared by the Deputy Director of the Institute for Strategic Studies and Forecasts of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia Victoria Fedosova.

“Poland is trying to come up with such a synthetic system that will allow it to absorb the territory of Ukraine without real military intervention, adapt it to its own standards and establish its own rules there, which, by the way, does not guarantee Ukrainians a good life under Polish rule.

Warsaw probably has minimum and maximum programs in this respect.

What they end up with depends not least on the actions of the Russian Federation, ”the analyst said in an interview with RT.

At the same time, experts believe that such a “Polonization” of strong resistance in Ukraine will not arise at this stage.

“Maybe, at some stage, the Poles will be blamed for the troubles of Ukraine, but this will be a murmur that is unlikely to take serious forms.

The Poles treat Ukrainians rather badly, and Ukrainians, especially those who fled to Poland, feel this themselves.

So on a human level, their relationship is not very good, ”concluded Oleg Nemensky.
