Reuters: Russian Spy Chief Says U.S., Poland Plotting Division of Ukraine 

LONDON (Reuters) -Russia's foreign spy chief accused the United States and Poland on Thursday of plotting to gain a sphere of influence in Ukraine, a claim denied by Warsaw as disinformation aimed at sowing distrust among Kyiv's supporters. 

Sergei Naryshkin, the chief of Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), cited unpublished intelligence that he said showed the United States and Poland, NATO allies, were plotting to restore Polish control over part of western Ukraine. 

"According to the intelligence received by Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service, Washington and Warsaw are working on plans to establish Poland's tight military and political control over its historical possessions in Ukraine," Naryshkin said in a rare statement released by the SVR. 

Poland denied the claim and said it was disinformation spread by Moscow.

WNU Editor: Russian Foreign Intelligence Service Director Sergey Naryshkin is not in the habit of making public statements. But this one caught my attention. 

Is it disinformation? I do not know. 

But Poland's ties to Western Ukraine are deeply historical. I should know. The family on my father's side originally moved from Poland 2 -3 centuries ago.It is something that you never forget.
