DISINFO: The West is tired of Ukrainian conflict, German parliamentarians are calling to dissolve Nato
SUMMARY
The Kyiv regime tries to stop a voluntary return of Zaporizhzhya, Kherson, and Kharkiv regions, liberated from Nazism, to Russia. In Germany, Bundestag parliamentarians called for peace with Russia and NATO dissolution. Washington and London have put an ultimatum to Volodymyr Zelenskyy that in case the Ukrainian town of Slavyansk is surrendered, military financing will end.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about neo-Nazi Ukraine, which is abandoned by the West, but also a puppet of the West. It cynically calls the Russia-occupated territories of Ukraine 'liberated' under the false pretext of 'Nazi' Ukrainian authorities.
The article promotes a false claim about the German parliament’s anti-NATO position. The position of individual German parliamentarians is presented as of the whole Bundestag. In fact, the majority of the German lawmakers firmly support NATO. In early July 2022, the overwhelming majority of the German Bundestag swiftly backed Finland and Sweden’s bids to join NATO. Furthermore, a conspiracy is promoted concerning the West’s ultimatum to Kyiv regarding the town of Slavyansk and arms support – there is no proof to it whatsoever and is part of a long series of claims meant to undermine Ukraine's statehood and sovereignty.
A false claim about Nazi-ruled Ukraine became a cornerstone in pro-Kremlin disinformation and served as one of the pretexts behind Russia's unjustified invasion of Ukraine.
