DISINFO: The US plans to attack China after its anti-Russian blitzkrieg in Ukraine
SUMMARY
The Ukrainian crisis was planned by the United States as a “blitzkrieg” aimed at cracking down on Russia before attacking China. In this way, the US wants to avoid a war on two fronts.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about alleged US plans to attack Russia and China. This claim aims to portray Russia as a victim and deflect any responsibility for Moscow’s unprovoked military invasion of Ukraine.
The claim that the US has started an anti-Russian “blitzkrieg” in Ukraine before its “attack” on China is groundless.
It was Putin’s personal decision to invade Ukraine and start the largest military conflict in Europe since WWII.
Neither the United States nor its NATO allies have plans to attack Russia. On the contrary, it is Russia that refused the diplomatic process and started an unprovoked war in Europe. During the Russian military build-up on the Ukrainian border the West used diplomatic tools in an attempt to ease tensions.
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. Ukraine receives weapons with the sole aim of restoring its territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders. Western instructors are teaching Ukrainian soldiers how to use modern weaponry, but there are no NATO troops fighting on the front.
