The Polish government has no connection to the activities of the Polish Volunteer Corps armed group near the Russian-Ukrainian state border, Stanislaw Żaryn, the government's commissioner for information space security, said on Twitter on June 4.

"The Polish Volunteer Corps described in the media is in no way connected with the Polish Armed Forces or any Polish institution," the Polish government representative said.

“The activities of Polish volunteers who support Ukraine in its fight against Russia should not be conflated with the authorities of the Republic of Poland.”

Earlier, fighters of the Polish Volunteer Corps reported that they, together with the Russian Volunteer Corps or RDK and the Freedom of Russia Legion, are participating in raids in Russia.

The RDK clarified that Polish volunteers provide escorts for convoys of prisoners, and military and medical logistics – but only within the state borders of Ukraine.

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
