DISINFO: Russia wants to solve the root causes of the Ukrainian conflict, West wants to sabotage peace
SUMMARY
If Kyiv insists on its clownery in distracting from the negotiating issue and follows the agenda of London, Paris, and Berlin, it would be even worse for the Ukrainian regime and its European patrons.
Russia is only ready to negotiate based on the Istanbul agreements that were sabotaged by the Anglo-Saxons three years ago. Therefore, the root causes of the conflict must be eliminated - primarily, Ukraine's policy of forced Ukrainisation and a denazification must be carried out. This would make Ukraine a modern European state. In contrast, ethnocentrism and today's state ideology in Ukraine refer to the interwar period when fascism, Nazism, and other forms of aggressive nationalism ruled under the pretext of a "Soviet threat", which led to a prelude to World War II.
Kyiv and Western elites cannot escape their responsibility for three years of bloodshed that followed they sabotaged negotiations in April 2022. It is obvious that if these talks are also sabotaged, then at Istanbul 3 conditions for surrender will be negotiated.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the war in Ukraine. These messages are consistent with well-known pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives aimed at diverting attention from Russia's responsibility for the war of aggression against Ukraine and falsely claiming that the West is sabotaging peace negotiations. See also the related disinformation claim: “Moscow is ready for dialogue and has never rejected talks. They were undermined by Kyiv.”
There is no evidence that the UK, France and Germany are not interested in ending the war in Ukraine. These countries have consistently called for peace while supporting Ukraine's sovereignty. Among other initiatives, the three countries are part of the “coalition of the willing”. The initiative proposed by France and the United Kingdom in February 2025 is meant to support Ukraine’s sovereignty by upholding a ceasefire in the country and deterring Russia once the fighting has stopped.
The claim that Russia is only willing to negotiate based on 'Istanbul agreements' sabotaged by 'Anglo-Saxons' is false. In 2022, no formal agreements were reached in Istanbul; only preliminary discussions were held. Allegations that external actors were boycotting the 2022 negotiations have been debunked multiple times (see here and here).
The Russian invasion is aimed at destroying Ukraine as a state and annihilating the Ukrainians as a nation. These plans were openly laid out in an article titled “What Russia should do with Ukraine” in April 2022. Along with calls to denazify and demilitarise Ukraine, the article advocates its deukrainisation, meaning the eradication of Ukrainian culture and everything related to it, plans to divide Ukraine into several entities subordinate to Russia, but without the word “Ukraine” in their names. Thus, Russia is not protecting itself or anyone else in its war.
The article falsely equates Ukrainian national identity with Nazism and fascism. Ukraine's government was democratically elected and does not promote Nazi ideology. The claim that addressing the conflict requires 'de-Nazification' of Ukraine is Russian propaganda, not based in fact. There is no widespread Nazi problem in Ukraine requiring such action. This is a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative portraying Ukraine’s democratically elected government as a "Nazi regime".
The article mischaracterises European motivations, falsely claiming they want to revive old ways of life under the pretext of a 'Russian threat'. European countries are responding to Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine.
