  See gattr's comment above Basically GROM getting "leave" and then ending up with their whole team inside Ukraine as "contractors", just with deniability. https://militarywatchmagazine.com/article/polish-mercenaries-ukrainian-assault-units https://militarywatchmagazine.com/article/polish-mercenaries... Regarding efforts to provide deniability for their operations, a Polish officer informed him: “we worked out a formula for our presence in Ukraine … we were simply sent on paid leave. Politicians pretended not to see this.” The Polish Volunteer Corps has appeared to use the same model to provide cover for the mass deployment of Polish Armed Forces personnel, who are technically former personnel when entering the theatre, with their presence having for years been widely reported on multiple frontlines. In February 2026, the lower house of the Polish parliament adopted legislation to provide legal cover to Polish citizens who fought in the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian War. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/07/03/russia-planning-attack-on-poland-test-nato-resolve-us-warns/ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/07/03/russia-pla... https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2026/07/12/8043770/ https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2026/07/12/8043770/ https://abcnews.com/International/wireStory/baltics-poland-warn-russia-launch-limited-military-hybrid-134779778 https://abcnews.com/International/wireStory/baltics-poland-w...

    You are mixing legitimate sources reporting the intelligence suggesting Russia is seeking a provocation in Poland with a Kremlin propganda channel lying about Polish commandos operating in Ukraine. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/military-watch-magazine-bias/ https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/military-watch-magazine-bias/

    It's always amusing when one side claims what the presence of NATO personnel in UA is "just Russian lies" only to post the confirmation of it themselves. It's even more amusing when you see pictures like this https://i.redd.it/ex4jgoqir4qg1.png https://i.redd.it/ex4jgoqir4qg1.png

      "just Russian lies" was, at least where I have seen it, was reply to claims about whole NATO armies send to Ukraine and lost with tens of thousands killed in action Or claims that EU is freezing to death or food running out (or soon will be)

There are rumours that Polish GROM has been taking “vacations” in Ukraine. As in “we cannot officially approve your presence there but we won’t stop you either”, from the government.

I watched a related Chris Cappy video the other day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RBY1cY-GF8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RBY1cY-GF8 > Poland's elite GROM commandos have become legendary (...) in this episode, we explore (...) the covert war between Poland and Russia, and why Polish-speaking commandos are appearing inside Russian territory.
