Political Theatre: According to John Helmer Report Based on Polish Sources “The Zelensky Summit Meeting in Kiev” Took Place in Poland
Things Are Not What They Seem
Reports by John Helmer
THE ZELENSKY SUMMIT MEETING IN KIEV ON MARCH 15 WITH POLISH, CZECH AND SLOVENIAN PRIME MINISTERS WAS A FAKE DEVISED IN WARSAW – THE MEETING WAS AT PRZEMYSL, POLAND; ZELENSKY ALSO
The summit meeting of East European leaders, hosted in Kiev by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky on March 15 was fabricated by the Polish government, with Polish secret service agents playing the part of journalists, and fake photographs of the meeting, press briefing, and train journey prepared by Zelensky’s press office.
The operation was designed by the Poles to promote their role in support of the Ukraine, the Ukrainian refugees, and in defence of Europe against Russia, and seek new European, American, and NATO alliance funds and military equipment.
According to the Ukrainian publicity, the operation was designed to promote the appearance that Zelensky’s regime is in control of Kiev, and to accelerate their application for admission to the European Union (EU).
The Anglo-American media have reported the meeting, as announced by Petr Fiala, the Czech prime minister, with “the aim…to express the European Union’s unequivocal support for Ukraine and its freedom and independence,”
The result of the summit meeting, according to the Financial Times in London, was “a show of European solidarity even as Russian shelling continued on residential neighbourhoods in the Ukrainian capital. The trip by the prime ministers of Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovenia is the most high-profile visit to Kyiv since Russia invaded the country on February 24.”
“It is here, in war-torn Kyiv, that history is being made,” the Polish prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki announced. “It is here that freedom fights against the world of tyranny. It is here that the future of us all hangs in the balance.”
Morawiecki and the western press were lying – there was no meeting in Kiev. Instead, the meeting was staged at the Polish rail junction town of Przemysl, 95 kilometres west of Lvov (Lviv), and 20 kms inside the Polish frontier with the Ukraine.
In a report published by the Associated Press (AP) bureau in Warsaw, “the long journey over land from Poland to Kyiv by Morawiecki, Poland’s deputy Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski and Prime Ministers Petr Fiala of the Czech Republic and Janez Jansa of Slovenia sent the message that most of Ukraine still remains in Ukrainian hands.”
The evidence gathered from sources in Warsaw and from analysis of the videos and photographs published on the meeting proves there was no “long journey”; no meeting in Kiev or in Lvov, the Galician region capital, which is the operating headquarters of the Ukrainian government. From the evidence provided by the Poles and also by Zelensky’s publicity staff, it is now clear that only a small part of western Ukraine remains in Ukrainian hands. Zelensky himself is now in Polish hands.
The Warsaw sources say the idea for the summit meeting was initiated by Polish Deputy Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski. Since the death of his twin brother in an aircraft crash at Smolensk, Russia, in 2010, Kaczynski has been one of the most influential politicians in Poland; he is in charge of the defence, security, interior and justice ministries. He is fiercely anti-Russian.
Associated Press (AP) presented this photograph of Kaczynski at the summit meeting with the disclaimer that it did not originate the photograph itself. Instead, it had been supplied by the “Ukrainian Presidential Press Office.”
The Polish sources believe there was no possibility that Kaczynski, Prime Minister Morawiecki, or the Czech and Slovenian delegations would have applied to Moscow for safe conduct to Kiev; nor would they have risked their own security by running the gauntlet of Russian electronic and air surveillance and missile attack on a two-hour train journey from Przymysl to Lvov, or on the seven-hour journey to Kiev.
Instead, the Czech and Slovenian officials flew into Rzeszow Jasionka, the nearest airport to Przemysl; the airfield is also a NATO logistics and security base. They then drove to Przemysl. There the Ukrainians had despatched one of the luxury versions of the regular train service between Przemysl, Lvov, and Kiev. This had been fitted up for fabricated photographs of the Polish, Czech and Slovenian officials meeting as they purportedly travelled towards Zelensky in Kiev. The press which has published these pictures knows them to have been faked and has assisted in concealing the real location.
THE FABRICATED TRAIN JOURNEY
The red line is known as Rail Line No. 92 -- https://mediarail.wordpress.com// and
THE TRAIN
In a converted train compartment, left to right: Jansa of Slovenia; Morawiecki and Kaczymski of Poland; Fiala of the Czech Republic. The individuals on the extreme left and right cannot be identified. The red file on the table appears to be standard issue for the Polish intelligence services which report to Kaczymski.

FAKE ARRIVAL AT KIEV RAILWAY STATION, ACTUALLY PRZEMYSL
Left to right: Fiala, Jansa, Kaczymski taking the lead position in front of the group, and Morawiecki.
Top: shadows at the feet of the official group photograph reveal the picture was taken in the open-air, sun-lit section of Przymysl station as revealed in the photograph at bottom. All photographs confirm the paving design of the rail platform is specific to Przemysl.
KIEV AND LVOV RAILWAY STATIONS
Left, the interior of the Kiev railway station; right, Lvov. The platform paving is similar in Kiev and Lvov but quite different at Przemysl. The roofing of the two stations covers the length of the platform and allows no open-air section as at Przemysl.
THE SUMMIT MEETING
The staff man on Kaczynski’s left is wearing a bullet-proof vest indoors, indicating he is from the Polish secret services and has either forgotten he is pretending to be in the Kiev presidency safely under Ukrainian control, or else he has forgotten he is supposed to be a civilian. The video screens with the Ukrainian propaganda slogans on both walls appear to have been photo-shopped in the preparation of the photographs by Zelensky’s press office.
The picture on left has been tagged as an official one by Zelensky’s staff for publication on their Facebook account. The Ukrainian symbol on the wall is unlike those fixed to the walls of presidential meeting rooms in Kiev. The right picture is a closeup of the paper cups on the table. They are evidence of an improvised meeting room, not one at Zelensky’s office in Kiev. Likewise, the contemporary-style chairs shown are incompatible with Ukrainian presidential seating style.
PRESS CONFERENCE OUTSIDE THE MEETING ROOM
The sign pasted to the door over the heads of Fiala and Jansa says “Situation Room” in Ukrainian. It has been improvised. If the meeting had taken place in a genuine situation room, the absence of computers belies it.
Left, interior camera set-up for the media; right, reporters shown at the exterior of the building. All the purported journalists are men with military haircuts; no women appear to have been included in the press briefings.
The Associated Press (AP) – a US-owned corporation based in New York — has provided the most detailed bulletin on the meeting, its participants, and what they discussed. The agency byline reveals that its reporters filed their story from Warsaw; they were not present at the events they claim to have verified. The only direct source for the AP report was reported to be a Polish official who was reported as saying: “The visit had been planned for several days but was kept secret for security reasons, said Michal Dworczyk, chief of staff for Morawiecki”.
In the fine print under AP’s publication of photographs of the meeting, the agency issued a source disclaimer. The images came from “video provided by the Ukrainian Presidential Press Office”, AP said.
WHAT HAPPENED – MORE EVIDENCE ON THE ZELENSKY SUMMIT MEETING
On Tuesday March 15, the leaders of Poland, Czech Republic, and Slovenia met the Ukrainian President, Vladimir Zelensky (lead image, right), in a room.
Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Moriawiecki (left) and Deputy Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski, together with Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala and their Slovene counterpart Janez Jansa insist in unison that their meeting room was located in Kiev; that they got there by taking a 7-hour train ride from the Polish railway station of Przemysl, and that they returned the same way after 24 hours.
In yesterday’s report we presented the evidence available at the time to indicate there was no geolocational evidence that the room was in Kiev, and that the summit meeting took place there. This account is being disputed by some sources; corroborated by others. A Warsaw government source who reviewed yesterday’s report comments: “we will probably never know the truth.”
According to another Polish source, “no head of the Polish security detail would allow the PM and the Deputy PM to travel together to a theatre of military operations. Especially after the close encounters in Georgia in 2008 when [President Lech] Kaczynski blamed the Russian Army for shooting at him. And if the head of the SOP [Polish State Protection Service, Służba Ochrony Państwa], allowed it, he should be fired.”

The only evidence of the meeting and its location so far made public has come from Zelensky’s press office and the offices of the chief Polish ministers. Czech prime minister Fiala has published a tweet image of himself in a sleeping car on the train, but the carriage in which he appears is not the same train as the one which the Poles have published. Slovenian prime minister Jansa has published nothing of himself except for the group photographs originating from the Polish and Ukrainian governments.

No European or Anglo-American newspaper or broadcaster has reported the summit meeting on the spot. Their reporters in Warsaw, Berlin, and elsewhere have repeated the Polish and Ukrainian claims without direct and independent verification.
On the photographic and other materials available through Wednesday, we reported there was no evidence that the meeting of the four leaders had taken place in Kiev. Moreover, evidence was presented to indicate that the locational data which had been published pinpointed Polish territory as the site of the meeting, the press briefing, and the train station.
Dozens of open-source analysts and commenters have spent the past 24 hours searching for fresh location evidence to prove Moriawiecki and Zelensky wrong, as we originally reported; or us wrong for our interpretation. As this second report is published, no new evidence has been found to identify with reliability the locations of what took place in Kiev, nor indeed is there a verifiable image of the summit group anywhere in Ukraine along the 670 kilometre train track which the heads of government say they took over more than fourteen hours between March 15 and 16.
That goes for the train, train station, press briefing, and meeting room, as well as details of walls, floors, tables, furniture, windows, curtains, bottles of water, costumes, helmets, and body armour. The heads of government also appear to have spent the two days of their traveling, meeting, and presenting themselves to the press without a change of clothes.
One Naked Capitalism reader identifying himself as JHG has uncovered two Ukrainian government records of meetings Zelensky had held with US politicians on September 5 and December 24, 2021. The first session was face to face; the second was a virtual video conference. The published images appear to match the room in this week’s media reports.
JHG has written: “I am having some trouble with some of Mr. Helmer’s video evidence that this meeting took place in Poland instead of Kyiv Ukraine. Specifically, the ‘Situation Room’ that Mr. Helmer asserts is actually in Poland. There are other photographs available of that room showing President Zelensky and his staff in video conferences at different times. This set of photos is on a page of the official website of the President of Ukraine. The date is 16 March 2021 [an error – the date is September 6, 2021] and it shows a video conference with members of the US Congress and the Senate. This conference room looks identical to the room presented by Mr. Helmer. Granted this source is the official website of the President but the date is the previous year. The photos are all expandable and show the room from a variety of angles.

An alert reader has identified the seats in the room as aluminium chairs designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1958, and available for purchase at about €4,000 apiece from this source. Until now the source says this type of chair has not been seen in Zelensky’s office furniture.
“The next set is from a Ukrainian News Website called Ukrinform. Once again it is a Ukrainian source but the date is 25 December 2021 and shows a video conference with another group of US politicians.

“There is also a photo of this meeting on Twitter dated 24 Dec 2021 uploaded by a Ukrainian Government official at another angle.”

In this week’s meeting room (above),there is only one flag on display – the national Ukrainian flag.In the two meetings with the Americans, Zelensky displayed two -- the national flag and also the flag of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN), the fascist organization which assisted the German Army in the liquidation of Poles,Jews,and Russians.
“The room in the above photos match very well with Mr. Helmer’s photos from the style of chairs, the video monitors on the wall, the flags, and the Ukrainian ‘symbol’ on the wall. The arrangement of the tables. Even the shapes of the water bottles.”
“Given the dates when these photos were alleged to have been taken it would seem to me that this is an actual government conference room that Mr. Zelensky and his staff use for video conferences and it would seem unlikely to me that Mr. Zelensky would have to travel to Poland to have video conferences with US politicians. I would also submit that this room is in Ukraine and not Poland. I am aware that these are all Ukrainian sources and I am not an expert in photogrammetry. Perhaps I am reading this completely wrong. I am only looking at the dates of the photos or when the web pages were published and that this room looks identical to the room in Mr. Helmer’s article.”
PHOTOGRAPHS AT PRZEMISL STATION

Comparing the top picture with the bottom row, the costumes of the leaders appear to be the same. However, the shadow cast by the sunlight – reportedly morning – is different. Morawiecki said in his accompanying text: “Passengers of the line Warsaw-Kiev with the brave crew of the train. Thank you very much for the journey together and its happy ending.” / This has been interpreted to mean he was describing the end of the train journey and the return of his delegation from Kiev. Morawiecki’s reference to the “Warsaw-Kiev line” is mistaken.
Accompanying the video footage at the train station, TVN24 reported: “The Polish, Czech Republic, and Slovenian delegations have reached Polish territory safely, government spokesman Piotr Mueller confirmed. The train from Kiev came to Przemysl…They reached the Ukrainian capital on Tuesday by train. The visit was kept secret until the very end. Its aim was, among other things, to show solidarity with the Ukrainian people. On Wednesday morning, government spokesman Piotr Mueller said delegations of Polish, Slovenian, and Czech officials had ‘returned safely’ to Poland. Before 10.30 a.m., the heads of government arrived in Przemyśl in the Podkarpacie region.” TVN24 is a US-owned commercial news channel in Poland with a strong pro-Europe orientation; it is critical of the Morawiecki-Kaczynski policies.
MORAWIECKI’S PHOTO OPPORTUNITY WITH POLISH AMBASSADOR CHICHOCKI IN THE DARK

In other frames of this clip, Polish flag patches are visible on the jacket sleeves of those in the picture.
Inside the meeting with Zelensky, front row, Morawiecki, Kaczynski, Polish government translator, and Piotr Muller press spokesman for the Polish prime ministry. At rear, Polish ambassador to the Ukraine, Bartosz Cichocki.
TVN24 reported this 22-second clip as evidence of Kiev. “Mateusz Morawiecki met in Kiev with the Polish ambassador Bartosz Cichocki and other embassy employees. In an interview with them, he emphasized that in this way they are sending a signal that ‘Kiev and Ukraine will survive.’ He estimated that in the face of other diplomats leaving the capital, Cichocki and his associates are ‘a living symbol of Polish solidarity.’ Helmets and vests have been confirmed as Polish Army issue.
Cichocki sat behind Morawiecki during the meeting with Zelensky; he is visible in the picture under the videoscreen. It is unclear why he expressed his thanks outside in the dark when the same photo opportunity might have been more visible inside the building.
THE HANDSHAKE ROOM
Another meeting room during the summit, left to right: Kaczynski, Morawiecki, Jansa, Denis Smyhal, the Ukrainian Prime Minister, and Fiala. The parquetry pattern on the floor, the curtains, and the frames for the heating batteries are not matched in any other interior published. Note the sandbags on the right of the window frame.
THE END OF THE AFFAIR
Source:https://www.se.pl/
Super Express, a Polish tabloid owned by the ZPR group, is one of the few sources for an account of how the operation started. The newspaper appears to have been briefed by Kaczynski’s office. “Politicians are planning a meeting with the Ukrainian authorities. Such a train trip during the war can be very dangerous. The train crossed the Polish border before 8 am. Now it should be getting closer to its goal. The train goes according to the observed safety rules. The possibility of getting to the Kiev station was thoroughly checked beforehand. The visit to war-torn Ukraine was to be initiated and prepared for several days by Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and Deputy Prime Minister Jarosław Kaczyński. Apparently, the latter did not have to be talked into such a risky trip for a long time.”
“Without hesitation, Kaczynski decided to travel to Kiev explaining that this is a civilizational issue for Europe and its future. Just as he was on the Maidan in 2013, now he wanted to be in Kiev. Morawiecki and Kaczyński are accompanied by the delegation of Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala and Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Janša. As a delegation of the European Council, they are to meet with the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky and Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.”
