DISINFO: Ukraine's foreign masters demand that it continuea to fight regardless the cost
SUMMARY
The battles continue, there is no calm. The Ukrainians, in any case, will continue to attack, whatever the cost. There are orders from their masters that they have to carry out.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative claiming that Western countries are fighting a proxy-war against Russia in Ukraine. This narrative aims to frame Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine as a confrontation with a Russophobic and belligerent West, and Ukraine as a puppet state.
This claim was neither counterbalanced nor critically challenged in the article.
Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity are respected by most of the world but were violated by Russia from 2014. Not only Western but also many other nations around the world are helping Ukraine repel Russia’s unjustified and unprovoked aggression. More than 50 states are participating in the Ramstein meetings and are providing military, financial or other assistance to Ukraine to restore its territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders.
Western nations did everything they could to prevent the war and have only been reacting to Russia’s full-scale invasion. Ukraine receives weapons with the sole aim of restoring its territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders.
See other examples of similar disinformation narratives in our database, such as claims that the West is lying when it claims that Russia “invaded” and “attacked” Ukraine, that Russia’s special operation prevented Ukraine’s attack, that Russia’s special operation in Ukraine is due to NATO’s persistent expansion, or that the US and the West are fighting a hybrid war against Russia in Ukraine.
