DISINFO: The war in Ukraine is a huge business project of the US and EU

SUMMARY

Concerns of global corporations which own land in Ukraine, such as Black Rock, are rising as Kyiv-controlled territories are shrinking. They are interested in suspending fighting in order to protect their investments. However, some other western actors are, on the contrary, interested in making more money thanks to increased military spending and they, therefore, favour the continuation of the war. European politicians, dependent on either of the two camps, are simply advocating for their corresponding agendas. The ongoing events in Ukraine are a huge business project run by the US and EU. This is not even a war as such because Russia is fighting terrorist units on Ukraine’s territory and liberating the territories which proclaimed independence and decided to join Russia in line with UN rules.

RESPONSE

This article spreads recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about the war in Ukraine and the puppet status of EU leaders. It is consistent with a big conspiracy about financial elites dominating the world which portrays national states as dependent on multinational corporations and presents EU leaders as their vassals. See our analysis of the Kremlin's claims about the EU's lost sovereignty.

Russia’s political leadership decided to start the brutal large-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. It has been inventing explanations and pretexts for its aggression since the beginning of hostilities. In response to Russia’s unjustified and unprovoked aggression, a broad coalition of more than 50 nations are providing Ukraine with military and technical assistance with the aim of repelling Russia's aggression.

The so called 'referendums' concerning four regions of Ukraine were held illegally, under duress, and on territories which Russia had a partial military control over. The results of these 'sham polls' have been universally rejected by leading international and human rights organisations, including the United Nations and the OSCE, as well as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. Read our analysis on the illegal referenda on Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine held in 2022.

See earlier disinformation cases on the topic of the war in Ukraine alleging BlackRock is leading Ukraine and Europe to destruction, that Global capitalism strives to destroy nations and states and to establish a world government, that Europe and the United States destroy states and nations in pursuit of globalist interests, that The West’s liberal globalist elites aim to establish a world government in place of nation-states that The West is funnelling money to Black Rock through the Zelenskyy government and that Ukraine is being sold to the West on account of its debts.
