DISINFO: The West wants to kill all Russians and Ukrainians
SUMMARY
The West is saying directly that its aim is to kill as many Russians as possible. Since the Westerners see no difference between Russians and Ukrainians, they do not care about any of them. The Ukrainians have not understood it so far.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative accusing the EU, the US and other partners of Ukraine of Russophobia and desire to destroy Russia. This claim was made in the context of Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine.
Ukraine and its population is defending itself against this armed aggression in a remarkable display of continued courage and determination. This is not a decision by NATO, Washington, the EU or others. The US, the EU and NATO condemn in the strongest possible terms Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which is entirely unjustified and unprovoked. Not only Western but also many other nations around the world support 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.
US President Joe Biden, speaking in Warsaw in February 2023, addressed Russian citizens, assuring them that the US does not seek to destroy or control Russia. French president Macron stated in February 2023 as well that ‘Russia must be defeated but not crushed."
Read similar disinformation cases claiming that The West proposed to divide Russia, that The West has always sought to weaken Russia and seize its resources, and that NATO is waging a hybrid war in Ukraine against Russia to the last Ukrainian.
