DISINFO: Ukrainians die for Western geopolitical interests

SUMMARY

If Ukraine stops fighting, hundreds of thousands of its citizens will not have to die for Western geopolitical interests and so-called “democratic values.”

There are no interests of the Ukrainian people in the conflict with Russia, but there are only the interests of the Anglo-Saxons, their henchmen, and the criminal, rotten Kyiv elite, which is tied to the West by mutual responsibility and which is afraid that it will be swept away the day after the end of the war. The US positioning of assistance to Ukraine resembles not the financing of military operations, but a profitable business project.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative alleging that Ukraine is a “springboard" and a Western "tool" against Russia, portraying the unjustified full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine as the US and so-called Anglo-Saxons are fighting a proxy war against Russia in Ukraine and that Ukraine is just a pawn in this war.

The claim aims to deflect any Russian responsibility for the full-scale invasion, which began on 24 February 2022. The Russian war against Ukraine began in 2014 with the illegal Russian annexation of Crimea and Russia's military involvement and support of separatists in Donbas.

The Ukrainian state is under attack by Russia. 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 the Western but also many other nations around the world support Ukraine with military and financial aid for the country’s efficient self-defence, under the UN Charter article 51, to stop Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine.

See similar cases: The US and EU use Ukrainians as pawns and order them to die; Russia is at war with NATO and the Pentagon and only the soldiers are Ukrainians; NATO is at war with Russia with the hands of Ukrainians; NATO was turning Ukraine into an enemy of Russia; the West is using Ukrainians to fight against Russia.
