According to Aleksey Arestovich, who spoke on Yuriy Romanenko’s YouTube channel, “negotiations between the leading powers – the United States, China, France and Russia – have reached a dead end. The lack of consensus and mutual guarantees makes it impossible to reach a lasting agreement, and the prospect of ending hostilities remains uncertain.”
Please note that Ukraine is not mentioned as a subject of the negotiations, although the formula “nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine” has been mentioned more than once.
And there is no reason to doubt this.
However, another thing is important: these narratives are broadcast in Polish to a Polish audience.
Using generative neural networks, the Russian-language original video is overlaid with Polish voiceover, with voices identical to the original (now this is not difficult, the ElevenLabs service can easily handle this task).
Since the Polish audience cannot easily distinguish between the two, it is perceived as a video made specifically for Poland.
And finally, the logical question is: what is the goal?
Why so much effort?
Perhaps the answer is in the next paragraph of the video description:
“The key issue blocking progress in the negotiations is the position of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. According to Arestovych, Russia is demanding that he sign any agreement, which is unacceptable to Ukraine. At the same time, Russia questions Zelensky’s legitimacy, demanding guarantees that the future agreement will not be undermined by the new US president.”
Perhaps it is the idea of the illegitimacy of the Ukrainian government and its unwillingness to make concessions for the sake of peace that this information operation is supposed to convey to the Poles? After all, almost a million Ukrainians in Poland is a serious pressure on the resources of this country.
In any case, the reality is as follows: Ukraine and its president want peace. Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his team have repeatedly stated their readiness for peace talks, provided they are fair and do not contradict Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. A summit in Switzerland is scheduled for the near future to discuss further steps to resolve the conflict. This demonstrates international efforts to achieve peace.
And Russian propaganda, even wrapped in the wrapper of Arestowicz’s neural network-generated Polish voice, remains Russian propaganda. Be careful and let your Polish friends know.
