DISINFO: Fifty countries are trying to wipe Russia off the earth
SUMMARY
Fifty countries are trying to wipe Russia off the earth. These are Ukrainian and European neo-fascists, the US, other Anglo-Saxons, and their vassals.
These states have set themselves the goal of strangling and erasing the Russian Federation from the earth. They can't. Russia is stronger and now it is obvious. The year 2022 finally united Russian citizens in the fight against a common enemy and freed them from the illusions of democracy in Western countries, whose hypocrisy and rampant Russophobia have crossed all conceivable limits.
RESPONSE
Pro-Kremlin outlets disinformation narrative accusing the West of anti-Russian policies, aggressive Russophobia, and allegedly belligerent and hostile agenda to destroy, ruin Russia, aiming to portray Russia as a victim and deflect any responsibility for Moscow’s illicit actions. See also Russian Myths: no.5 Encirclement.
The claim also advances recurring disinformation narratives of Ukraine and its Western partners being Nazis, and "Anglo-Saxons" plotting against Russia.
From the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the emergence of a new and democratic Russia and up to Russia’s aggression against Ukraine in 2014, Western nations were treating Russia as an equal.
The EU imposed restrictive measures on Moscow in 2014, which have been amplified and broadened since Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022. It is Russia that refused the diplomatic process and started an unprovoked war in Europe, capturing more and more territories of a neighbouring country and creating a serious danger to European security.
This is an illustrative example of the recurring pro-Kremlin propagandistic narrative about ubiquitous Russophobia in the West. For background, read our analysis: The “Russophobia” Myth: Appealing to the Lowest Feelings
The term “Anglo-Saxons” in such cases normally stands for the US and UK and often means “evil”, “belligerent” and “morally corrupt” Westerners, as explained in our earlier analysis. As a negative catch-all term, the “Anglo-Saxons” term is a useful building block for pro-Kremlin conspiracy theories. You can find plenty of examples in our database.

The West and the US are not at war with Russia or the Russians. The West supports Ukraine with military and financial aid for the country’s efficient self-defence, in accordance with the UN Charter Article 51, to stop Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine.
