Russia is conducting an influence operation in Poland aimed at undermining trust in the special services and creating an atmosphere of fear and helplessness among the population, according to Poland's Cyber Defense Forces. As reported by Poland's Cyber Defense Forces in X.
Russia's information-psychological operation is linked to recent floods in southwestern Poland. According to Polish cyber troops, Russian propagandists are using selective information dissemination online to evoke negative emotions in Poles. One of the goals of this campaign is to erode trust in Polish special services and security structures.
Polish cyber forces are urging citizens to stay calm and verify information sources carefully to avoid falling prey to emotional manipulation. They emphasized the importance of avoiding content that is designed to provoke strong emotional reactions through images of suffering and destruction.
