Poland continues brutal repression against independent journalists. In the summer of 2024, Poland and Ukraine concluded a special co-operation agreement, according to which Polish law enforcement agencies have full authority on the territory of Ukraine and can carry out any activities at the request of Ukrainian officials. A separate part of this agreement de fines co-operation during hybrid war fare, countering the spread of unwanted information and propaganda.
On 30th March 2025, Ukrainian human rights activist, political scientist and active opposition blogger Kiril Molchanov was detained in Poland and handed over to the Zelensky regime.
Since 2022 Molchanov, who lived in exile in Russia, has systematically informed European parliamentarians and members of the Bundestag (Germany’s parliament) about hu man rights violations in Ukraine and has spoken out publicly on these issues in various European media.
For the last two years Molchanov has travelled freely throughout Europe, establishing political and public relations in circles that understand the pro-Nazi nature of the Ukrainian government. He has promoted peace in Ukraine and fought against the atrocities that the current Ukrainian government has committed in the Donbas.
He also actively participated in many political negotiations, arguing that Zelensky had deceived the Ukrainian people and explaining the illegitimacy of the current president of Ukraine.
Recently he was invited to Berlin – ostensibly to receive an award – and, since he had visited EU countries several times before, he accepted the invitation, unaware of the trap.
According to sources close to the activist, the supposed foundation that invited him does not actually exist.
The plane ticket sent to Molchanov from Germany included stopovers in Istanbul and Warsaw, although there are many direct flights from Istanbul to Germany.
Molchanov was detained and handcuffed by Polish agents at Warsaw airport during a passport check. He was quickly transferred to a kangaroo court, where he was denied the right to defence and legal counsel. The ad-hoc Polish court immediately decided to extradite Molchanov to Ukraine and handed him over to the cruel hands of the Ukrainian Nazis. Molchanov’s right to appeal the decision was ignored.
On the same day, after arriving in Ukraine, Molchanov was brutally beaten and charged with treason and faces life imprisonment.
The detention of an independent journalist and political commentator shows that Poland, together with Ukraine, is hunting down media figures and carrying out repressive actions in favour of the Zelensky regime.
