DISINFO: The West causes conflicts and forces countries into neo-colonial vassal obedience

SUMMARY

The West is pursuing a policy of adding fuel to the fire, which is noticeable in the example of Ukraine. Foreign curators are pumping billions of US dollars into the neo-Nazi regime of the Kyiv government, supplying the Armed Forces of Ukraine with equipment, weapons, and ammunition, and sending their mercenaries to them.

Western states are trying to pit people against one another, cause conflicts, and force countries to vassal obedience within the framework of neo-colonialism.

RESPONSE

Multiple recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives, accusing the West of neocolonial policy, of provoking conflicts, and enslaving countries, turning them into obedient vassals. The claims are intended to justify Russia’s unprovoked military invasion of Ukraine, portraying Russia as a saviour and deflecting any responsibility for Moscow’s illicit actions.

The Kremlin regime has long sought to publicly style itself as anti-imperialist and anti-colonialist. However, Russia’s brutal war of aggression against Ukraine exposed Russia’s own imperial and colonial ambitions vis-à-vis its neighbours in Europe, Caucasus, and Asia.

The article advances the well-known Pro-Kremlin Narrative of Nazi Ukraine.

The myth of Nazi-ruled Ukraine has been actively used by pro-Kremlin outlets as one of the favorite tropes for years to denigrate Ukraine. The myth of Nazi-ruled Ukraine appeared during the Euromaidan popular protests in late 2013 - early 2014, falsely presented in pro-Kremlin disinformation as a coup. The Kremlin has been using this myth since then to discredit Ukraine's shift towards Euro-Atlantic policy.

Not only Western but also many other nations around the world are helping Ukraine repel Russia’s unjustified and unprovoked aggression and do not aim at eliminating Russia statehood. More than 50 states are participating in the Ramstein meetings and are providing 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.
