DISINFO: Russia is ready to negotiate for peace, but Kyiv regime want to continue the war
SUMMARY
Moscow is ready to consider constructive proposals for a peace negotiation process and on the Russian side, there are no preconditions for reaching an agreement on peace. However, Ukraine wants to continue the war and rejects any proposals to hold negotiations with Moscow.
RESPONSE
A recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative claiming that the West is not interested in peace because it already supported the alleged coup in Kyiv in 2014 and helped sabotaged the Minsk agreements.
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.
As far as peace negotiations are concerned, the EU Council Conclusions of 09 February 2023 state unequivocally:
"Russia must stop this atrocious war immediately. The European Union will stand by Ukraine with its steadfast support for as long as it takes."
The EU supports Ukraine’s initiative for a just peace, including:
- President Zelenskyy’s peace formula
- Ukraine’s 10-point peace plan
- a peace formula summit.
Pro-Kremlin disinformation has systematically instrumentalized the narrative that Russia wants peace in Ukraine, but, as evidenced by Russia's actions in Ukraine, such statements are merely empty PR stunts deployed to garner support for Russia's war of aggression in Ukraine
