Ukraine has invaded and occupied parts of Donbas in eastern Ukraine. The West is not doing anything to deescalate the situation.
Recurring disinformation narrative about Donbas. Ukraine cannot invade and occupy Donbas as it is a Ukrainian territory recognized by international law.
Cases in the EUvsDisinfo database focus on messages in the international information space that are identified as providing a partial, distorted, or false depiction of reality and spread key pro-Kremlin messages. This does not necessarily imply, however, that a given outlet is linked to the Kremlin or editorially pro-Kremlin, or that it has intentionally sought to disinform. EUvsDisinfo publications do not represent an official EU position, as the information and opinions expressed are based on media reporting and analysis of the East Stratcom Task Force.
