A video circulating on social media and anonymous Telegram channels is being passed off by Russian propagandists as a Euronews news report. It falsely claims that Poland is preparing to deport 50,000 Ukrainians amid diplomatic tensions between the two countries.
This claim is false.
No such reports have appeared on Euronews' official website or its social media accounts. The video bears clear signs of manipulation and was compiled using third-party photos and video footage that are publicly available online. Moreover, it depicts isolated incidents rather than providing evidence of any mass deportations.
Similar fabrications are part of the broader Russian disinformation campaign known as "Matryoshka," which disguises fake content as reports from reputable media outlets, government institutions, or fact-checking organizations. The objective of these operations is to create the illusion of credibility by imitating trusted sources, using fabricated front pages, screenshots, videos, and documents.
Separately, a video circulating on Telegram and the social media platform X purports to show Polish border guards displaying UPA symbols and making references to the Volyn tragedy.
