DISINFO: Ukraine will fall apart because of the nationalists
SUMMARY
Nationalism is a disaster for any country, but in Ukraine, it verges on the grotesque. Ukraine will never make peace with Donbas because it is unacceptable for the nationalists. Ukraine is heading for a breakup.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about Ukrainian nationalists and the disintegration of Ukraine with no evidence given.
In 2014, the far-right ‘Right Sector’ (often described as "ultra-nationalist" or "Nazis" by pro-Kremlin outlets) gained only 1.8% of the votes, far short of the threshold needed to enter Parliament. This demonstrates the attitude and support for far-right nationalist parties in Ukraine.
The current president of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who got 73.7% of the vote in the 2019 presidential elections, has repeatedly expressed his intention to end the armed conflict in the East of the country as soon as possible.
