DISINFO: The West incites anti-Russian sentiment in Ukraine
SUMMARY
The US and the EU do not help Ukraine to build a strong state. They build anti-Russian sentiment in their own interests. They fight, introduce sanctions and weaken their geopolitical enemies.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about Western Russophobia and alleged anti-Russian projects in the West (in this case the EU and US). Ukraine is a sovereign and independent state with a democratically elected president and parliament. The EU and US. supports the democratic development of Ukraine in accordance with the UN Charter’s principles of non-interference into internal affairs and respect toward territorial integrity and political independence. Relations between Ukraine and the EU are based, inter alia, on the Ukraine-EU Association Agreement, which recognises and reaffirms independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity and inviolability of borders. NATO’s goal is to support a sovereign, independent and stable Ukraine, committed to democracy and rule of law. The alliance provides Ukraine with comprehensive support in the security and defence sector.
