In recent days, Russian Telegram channels have begun intensively distributing the ad “TOGETHER WE CREATE THE FUTURE”. This new material is gaining popularity just before the announced meeting with Vladimir Putin.
Russian channels on Telegram are once again on everyone’s lips. The latest ad “TOGETHER WE CREATE THE FUTURE” reached thousands of users just before the meeting with Putin. Is this another chapter in the infosphere battle for Polish minds?
An absolutely incredible statement by Trump during his meeting with Putin:
“Within the first two minutes, I will know exactly whether a deal can be reached”.
“How will you know that?” 🤓
“Because that’s what I do – I make deals”.

Telegram as a tool of Russian propaganda
Telegram, although it is not the largest social media platform in Poland, is increasingly serving as a battlefield for information warfare. Russian and pro-Russian channels are multiplying, sharing materials that are often staged or manipulated. They create messages friendly to the Kremlin and attack Western allies.
An example of a propaganda ad
According to an analysis by the BBC and independent experts, the most widely shared ad at the moment (published, among others, by the channel Polska Grupa Informacyjna) shows two men in uniforms styled to look Ukrainian, burning an American flag and photographs of Western politicians such as Trump, Musk, and Graham. The scene is set in a forest clearing, and the staging is revealed by, among other things, an unnatural accent and commonly available camouflage.
How does Russian disinformation work in Poland?
Here is the mechanism for spreading propaganda:
Publication of the material on Telegram (most often in Polish or Russian, sometimes styled as Ukrainian).
Distribution to other platforms by “truth seekers”.
Increasing reach through bots and fake accounts.
Repeating narratives such as: “Poland should leave its alliance with the West”, “Russia is a friend of the Poles”.
