Yeah, when I have seen people talk out of turn in the past, they get spoken over quite heavily. My guess is either a) the reality of the situation is too apparent, so lying about it is pointless, and/or b) the Kremlin continues to paint themselves the victim with the world against them with this Polish truth happening to work with second half of the narrative.

Why not? In this particular case, Kremlin's propaganda narrative of Poland being anti-Russian is only strengthened.
