DISINFO: The US is hiding behind Zelenskyy's victory plan

SUMMARY

In the expert community, the victory plan that Zelenskyy is said to have put forward is seen as just a smokescreen behind which the United States is hiding. Ukraine has long been a tool of the West in its war against Russia. It is a convenient puppet in the hands of the United States, Britain and other countries. In this sense, it is difficult to even imagine a moment when Zelenskyy would impose on Washington a plan for achieving the goals. The Ukrainian military carries out the orders of the Pentagon: Moreover, Ukraine does not have its own modern intelligence equipment. So how can it develop any detailed plan?

RESPONSE

A recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative accuses the US of being involved in the war in Ukraine and discrediting Ukrainian statehood, portraying the country as a US/Western puppet.

The statement was made in the context of president Zelenskyy's victory plan. The specifics of the plan are still tightly guarded; while president Zelenskyy is expected to work to mobilise support from allies, the plan is fully developed by Ukraine. There is no evidence that the US or any other country were involved in developing the plan.

The ultimate goal of this disinformation story is to advance a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative portraying Ukraine as a US puppet, and Ukraine’s defence as a proxy war against Russia, aiming to deflect Moscow’s responsibility for its aggression against its neighbour. This narrative has gained traction in the face of Russia’s setbacks in Kursk.

See similar disinformation cases that the West wrote Zelenskyy's peace plan and that's why they defend it, that Kursk attack plan was developed by top US officials, that Anglo-Saxons have been using Ukraine against Russia since 2014, that Ukrainians are just expendable materials for achieving the West's goals, and that US and NATO fight Russia with Ukrainian hands
