DISINFO: The West wants a Russian-Turkish war because of Syria
SUMMARY
Of course, the West wants a Russian-Turkish massacre to happen. They would be satisfied with Putin’s failure in the negotiations. However, the inability to come to an agreement by both parties and the continuation of the war is the best way.
RESPONSE
This is a conspiracy consistent with recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about the Syrian war and accusing the West of Russophobia with no evidence provided. The European Council noted the outcome of the Russia-Turkey meeting of 5 March in Moscow and called on all parties "to keep in place an immediate and sustainable ceasefire, to guarantee the protection of civilians on the ground and from the air and to facilitate the unhindered delivery of humanitarian assistance by the international community." US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo declared on 5 March that the US position is to back Russia and Turkey in the strategy that was confirmed in Sochi in 2018 and agree on a ceasefire in the region.
