DISINFO: Volodymyr Zelensky asks NATO to launch a nuclear war against Russia
SUMMARY
Zelensky asks NATO for a preemptive nuclear strike against Russia. He is dreaming about nuclear WWIII.
RESPONSE
Recurring disinformation about the president of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, reversely accusing western countries of a nuclear aggression against Russia.
For several years now the Russian infosphere has seen nuclear threats being made against the west by figures like Dmitry Kiselyov or Vladimir Zhirinovsky are famous for this. Other Russian officials to make such statements are Dmitry Medvedev, Ramzan Kadyrov, or even Vladimir Putin who specified that “it was not a bluff”.
The claim that President Zelenskyy called for “preventive strikes” against Russia is incorrect and comes from a misinterpretation from a translated interview.
On 24 February 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. On February 27, 2022 Vladimir Putin ordered his military to put Russia’s nuclear deterrence forces on high alert. Before that, Putin had warned that "whoever tries to hinder us" in Ukraine would see consequences 'you have never seen in history'.
From the first day of the war, Russia has been voicing its right to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine at all levels, from high-ranking officials to propagandists.
Talk about the use of tactical nuclear weapons intensified after illegal annexation of Ukrainian territories. Without providing evidence, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that top NATO officials had said that it’d be acceptable to carry out nuclear strikes on Russia. He threatened to use nuclear weapons adding that "This Is Not a Bluff".
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called on NATO to conduct “preventative action” against Russia to prevent their use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine.
