Polish Security Services Uncover Russian Guide on Causing Chaos in Ukraine

Polish authorities have uncovered a Russian guide that instructs individuals on how to destabilize Ukrainian institutions and aid Russian occupiers. The document, discovered on the phone of a Ukrainian suspect arrested for attempting to set fire to a paint warehouse in Wroclaw, was reportedly prepared by Russian propaganda groups and widely circulated on Russian-language Telegram channels.

Russians described how to organize resistance against representatives of the Ukrainian state and army, but also in cases where they are, for example, employees of various companies, institutions, administration. How to paralyze the functioning of these institutions in a way that helps Russian occupiers.

Marek Kozubal, a journalist, explained that the instructions detail how to organize resistance against representatives of the Ukrainian state and army, as well as how to disrupt the functioning of companies, institutions, and administrations to assist Russian forces. The guide is not limited to actions in occupied territories; it contains universal elements applicable to individuals residing outside Ukraine, particularly targeting Russian-speaking Ukrainians in other countries.

It is definitely an instruction with a universal element, aimed at Russian-speaking Ukrainians who are also staying in other countries.

The discussion also delves into the concept of 'harming,' a term increasingly used by special services. Kozubal clarifies that this refers not to traditional espionage or sabotage, but to actions that destabilize institutions from within. This covert form of spreading anarchy is difficult to detect, as it often appears as simple incompetence or poor decision-making. "It is difficult to prove that someone is intentionally a useful idiot, and in essence, that's what it comes down to," the journalist noted.

This is a more camouflaged form of spreading anarchy within various institutions, hindering the activities of these institutions.

Kozubal also addressed Poland's and NATO's preparedness for contemporary threats, emphasizing the importance of strengthening national defense capabilities and deepening allied cooperation. "First and foremost, we should build our own armed forces, arm ourselves, and invest in our own security," he stated. The podcast episode explores whether security services can distinguish between incompetence and deliberate action for a foreign state, the nature of modern hybrid warfare, and how chaos can be as effective a weapon as missiles.
