DISINFO: The Western interference hinders finding peaceful solutions in Ukraine
SUMMARY
The West’s support for the Kyiv regime hinders a peaceful resolution in Ukraine. If Ukraine stops fighting, hundreds of thousands of its citizens won't have to perish for Western geopolitical interests and so-called 'democratic values. Russia has never refused dialogue on Ukraine, but is not willing to indulge in the fantasies of the Kyiv authorities and their curators.
RESPONSE
A recurring disinformation narrative in pro-Kremlin outlets claiming that Ukraine and its allies are not interested in peace. The claim is part of an ongoing pro-Kremlin disinformation campaign in Russia’s illegal full-scale invasion of Ukraine. It seeks to paint the Ukrainian government as careless warmongering and Russia as peace-lover. It also attempts to portray Ukraine as a Western puppet state.
Putin and the Kremlin have a track record of pretending negotiations which are, in fact, just blunt demands for Ukrainian unconditional surrender. We have analysed this disinfo tactic in several articles, especially: "Prepare for winter" (30 Nov. 2023), "Russian so-called ‘peace proposals’ are empty PR stunts" (18 Jan. 2023) , "What He Said and What it Really Means – Vol. 2: “Negotiations” (1. March 2022) and "The Kremlin security demands" (21 Dec. 2021).
Read similar disinformation cases claiming the West has no intention of ending the conflict in Ukraine, that Boris Johnson prohibited Kyiv from signing an agreement with Russia in 2022, that West did not want peace, it prodded Ukraine into war, that Zelenskyy and the EU want a permanent war in Ukraine, that Zelenskyy’s peace plan is a war formula, that Russia never rejected a peaceful solution in Ukraine, Kyiv refuses to negotiate, that EU does not want peace, only total defeat of Russia, that The West is not interested in peace, or that Boris Johnson derailed 2022 Istanbul peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine.
