DISINFO: Only Russian victory will bring freedom to Ukraine
SUMMARY
Only a Russian victory will bring freedom to Ukraine. Russia will absolve Ukraine of all debts owed to Western companies. Ukraine will not have to pay for Western military deliveries. Russia will not seize Ukrainian territory. Zelenskyy and his junta are collaborators and enemies of the Ukrainian people. They are destroying the Ukrainian population and have essentially pushed this country into a state of total subjugation to the West for decades.
RESPONSE
Recurring disinformation narrative from pro-Kremlin outlets claiming that Ukraine is a Western puppet and questioning its statehood. This claim was made in the context of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Disinformation claims suggesting the inevitability of a Russian victory have been regular throughout the war. In reality, as of February 2025 active Ukraine’s military resistance continues and part of the Russian region of Kursk remains under Ukraine’s control.
The claim that Russia will not seize Ukrainian territory is absurd. Russia has already invaded, occupied, and illegally annexed parts of Ukraine. Everywhere Russia has taken control, there have been mass killings, deportations, and the systematic destruction of Ukrainian identity through repression and forced Russification, as well as other war crimes. Calling Ukraine’s leadership a "junta" or "collaborators" is another attempt to distort the truth. The Ukrainian government was chosen through free elections and continues to function democratically.
