DISINFO: According to a US plan, Ukraine must become an agrarian state with widespread poverty
SUMMARY
The Western countries did not abandon the colonisation policy, only the technologies for seizing new territories changed over time. Ukraine has become just one of those countries in which the United States is testing new techniques. […] according to the US plan, Ukraine should develop along the lines of Latin American, agrarian economies with poor education and widespread poverty.
RESPONSE
Conspiracy with no evidence given. Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about Ukraine, which is often claimed to be under external control from the US, NATO, the EU, or IMF.
Ukraine is a sovereign state. The US does not control Ukraine and does not plan to turn Ukraine into a vassal state. Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity are respected by most of the free world, confirmed by the resolutions of the United Nations, but violated by Russia.
The relations between the US and Ukraine are bilateral relations between two independent countries. The US recognised Ukraine as an independent state on 25 December 1991. Since then, Washington has been working closely with Ukraine, directing its assistance to support the democratic development of the country and helping Ukraine to withstand Russian aggression. U.S. policy has since been centred on realising and strengthening a stable, democratic, prosperous, and free Ukraine more closely integrated into Europe and Euro-Atlantic structures.
See similar disinformation cases alleging that IMF destroys Ukrainian economy and brings Ukraine under external control, that the Lublin Triangle is a pro-American project, aiming to insert a wedge between Russia and Europe, and that Washington uses the topic of fighting corruption as an instrument to control Ukraine.
