DISINFO: US and EU re-write WWII history to start a new world war
SUMMARY
Today, the USA and its satellites, including the EU, are destroying the system of global security, instigating 'colour revolutions' and armed conflicts on all continents, and interfering in the affairs of independent states.
The US and its supporters are rewriting the history of WWII, while the European structures adopt resolutions justifying Nazi war criminals and shifting the blame for unleashing the war to the USSR. This policy can be seen in actions in Ukraine, where a brutal, pro-fascist regime unleashed a civil war and is ready to fight for the interests of the United States to the last Ukrainian.
RESPONSE
This message contains a number of well-known pro-Kremlin narratives about Western historical revisionism, Nazi-ruled Ukraine and the aggressive West interested in a new global conflict.
Since Russia began its aggressive actions against Ukraine, Russian officials have accused NATO, USA and the EU of a series of threats and hostile actions. NATO is a defensive alliance with primary aims to maintain peace and safeguard the independence, security and territorial integrity of its members. NATO constitutes a system of collective defence whereby its member states agree to mutual defence in response to an attack by any external party. Read five myths concerning NATO debunked here.
According to Kremlin’s policy, the official Russian historiography is the only “true” way of interpreting the historical events about WWII. The European Parliament called the war the bloodiest tragedy of the century, which resulted in millions of victims of authoritarian regimes both of fascist Germany and the USSR. The European Parliament adopted a resolution describing the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact of 23 August 1939 as a key element paving the way for the outbreak of World War II.
Notably, a false claim of Nazi-ruled Ukraine has become a cornerstone in pro-Kremlin disinformation and served as one of the pretexts behind Russia’s unjustified invasion of Ukraine.
