The Center for Countering Disinformation under the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) of Ukraine has issued a statement refuting recent claims that Poland is planning to end its visa-free travel agreement with Ukraine. The NSDC, a key body in Ukraine’s national security apparatus, has been actively working to debunk misinformation that could impact Ukraine’s diplomatic and international relations.
The reported allegations, which surfaced on social media, have been widely circulated, raising concerns about the potential impact on bilateral relations between Poland and Ukraine. The NSDC has emphasized that these claims are part of a broader disinformation campaign aimed at sowing discord and undermining trust between nations. The statement serves as a reminder of the NSDC’s commitment to safeguarding Ukraine’s interests and maintaining the integrity of its diplomatic engagements.
Despite the NSDC’s refutation, the situation remains sensitive, given the current geopolitical landscape. Both Ukraine and Poland have been navigating complex diplomatic relationships amid ongoing regional tensions, which can often be exacerbated by the spread of misinformation. The NSDC’s swift response underscores its role in monitoring and countering disinformation, especially in an era where social media can rapidly spread unverified information.
