DISINFO: US wants to break Ukraine into pieces

SUMMARY

The United States wants to break Ukraine into pieces. However, Ukrainian people have started realising what stays behind this pseudo-US democracy – only death. The Americans got control of Ukraine in 2014 and have been keeping it so far. But Ukrainians will expel them from Ukraine. Zelenskyy is not a president but a puppet.

RESPONSE

This is a recurring disinformation narrative from pro-Kremlin outlets, claiming that ‘the collective West’ is seeking to break Ukraine into pieces by clashing various parts of the country against each other.

In reality, the West is helping Ukraine out of its two major problems, which are corruption and the war with Russia. Western financial organisations provide Ukraine with aid and enhanced free trade possibilities, Western leaders are making efforts to help Ukraine solve the Donbas conflict through endorsing the Minsk agreements and holding multilateral talks in the Normandy format, and Ukraine is also engaged in military cooperation with NATO to counter Russian aggression. Contrary to pro-Kremlin media reports, this year’s Sea Breeze military drills in the Black Sea were aimed at strengthening the defence capabilities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces rather than preparing for aggression against Russia or any other country.
