29 / 100
Mostly False Poland

Zelensky is blamed for attacks on Ukrainians in Poland, according to Krzysztof Gawłowski, who criticized Zelensky for praising fascists.

Infact verdict: Mostly False (29/100).

The claims regarding Zelensky's blame for attacks on Ukrainians in Poland and his alleged praise of fascists are controversial and lack strong evidence. The evidence suggests that Zelensky denied Ukraine's involvement in a missile strike in Poland, and there is no direct evidence linking him to the attacks on Ukrainians in Poland. The claim about Krzysztof Gawłowski being the Minister of Information is incorrect; he is the Minister of Digital Affairs. Zelensky's actions related to WWII figures have caused tension but do not equate to praising fascists. Overall, the claims are either unsupported or incorrect based on the available evidence.
