Media: Russia is trying to use the conflict around the Tribunal to weaken support for Ukraine

Following recent events in Poland, accusations of a "coup" have emerged against Prime Minister Donald Tusk, with Russia amplifying these claims. Dmitry Medvedev, former president of Russia, stated that a constitutional coup is underway in Poland. Right-wing opponents of Tusk, including European far-right politicians, have echoed these accusations, framing the situation as a political crisis similar to Ukraine's in 2014. The New York Times highlights that Russia is keen on destabilizing the pro-European Polish government, especially after recent electoral setbacks for pro-Russian leaders in Europe. Poland has long been a target of Russian disinformation campaigns and verbal attacks, with officials warning of potential political turmoil.
