DISINFO: The Biden administration scripted the war in Ukraine

SUMMARY

By scripting the war in Ukraine, the Biden administration planned its political defeat in the next presidential elections in advance. The Biden administration has enriched companies mainly related to the oil and arms industries. Other areas of the economy only suffer. Therefore, even important business circles in the United States prefer to support Donald Trump, who promised to stop the war in Ukraine.

RESPONSE

A conspiracy theory that advances the pro-Kremlin narrative that the war in Ukraine was planned and started by the USA and canvases support for Donald Trump in the 2024 US Presidential elections. The claim is baseless with no supporting evidence.

The Ukraine war began in February 2014 when Russia illegally annexed the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea and later instigated a separatist revolt in some parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts (loosely known as Donbas). Despite international pressure, Russia continued its aggression against Ukraine, so Kyiv had to announce the ATO on 14 April 2014. There is well-documented evidence of Russia’s overt military support for the illegal armed formations of the self-proclaimed separatist entities in the east of Ukraine.

Putin used Ukraine’s Euromaidan protests as a pretext for aggression in 2014 and tried to justify the 2022 invasion by Ukraine’s Euro-Atlantis policies. Ukraine has never threatened Russia. Russia is the only party responsible for attacking Ukraine. It was Putin’s personal decision to invade Ukraine in what is the largest military conflict in Europe since WWII. The commencement of the aggression in 2014 and the large-scale phase of it, ongoing since 2022, are unprovoked and unjustified. 

Finally, the United States had warned Russia not to start a full-scale invasion of Ukraine informing that there would be consequences of such aggression.
