Our website has been the victim of a digital attack, as a suspicious article suddenly appeared on polanddaily.com without our approval or knowledge. The article provided false information on Polish and Lithuanian ministers planning to create a special peace-keeping force of the European Union to send it to Belarus. We have taken down this manipulative article and deny any association with such lies. The most probable culprits of this attack would be Russian hackers trying to destabilise the situation in Belarus and make the Belarusian people hostile towards Poland.

We hope that they can see through Kremlin's manipulations and consider Poles nothing else than allies and friends. #unitedwithbelarus
