DISINFO: Biden is a war criminal

SUMMARY

Biden himself is literally covered in blood up to the elbows. It was on his direct orders that the Ukrainians started the war and killed and tortured thousands of Russian people in the Donbass.

RESPONSE

A recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the war in Ukraine and an attempt to smear US president Biden.

In reality, it is Russia inciting the Moscow-backed separatists in the eastern Ukrainian region of Donbas resulting in steady violations of the truce. By doing so, Russia is trying to impose an endless conflict which drags resources away and ties political attention and energy of the Ukrainian authorities.

There is irrefutable evidence of direct Russian military involvement in Eastern Ukraine, in the Donbas. The EU condemns the clear violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity by acts of aggression by the Russian armed forces since February 2014. The European Union stated in July 2014 that "arms and fighters continue flowing into Ukraine from the Russian Federation". This position was re-confirmed lately by President of the European Council Charles Michel in his meeting with President Zelenskyy 02 March 2021, saying, inter alia:

Unfortunately Russia has not reciprocated Ukraine’s positive steps to implement the Minsk Agreements. That’s why our economic sanctions against Russia will remain in place. Russia is a party to this conflict, and not a mediator.
