DISINFO: War in Ukraine is a tool for the US to weaken Russia and subjugate Europe
SUMMARY
With the help of the war in Ukraine, the US is trying to bleed and weaken Russia (by war and by the cost of restoration of Ukraine) and to completely subjugate old Europe under the strict control and dictate of Washington.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative undermining the statehood and sovereignty of Ukraine. The claim aims to deflect any Russian responsibility for the unjustified Russian invasion of Ukraine, which began on 24 February 2022.
Contrary to what this disinformation story claims, the Ukrainian state is under attack by Russia, while the US and Western countries are providing support to Ukraine. The West supports Ukraine with military and financial aid for the country’s efficient self-defence, in accordance with the UN Charter Article 51, to stop Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine.
The US does not subjugate the EU. The US and the EU are partners, not the enemies. They respect each others rights and positions.
See other examples of similar disinformation narratives, such as claims that Ukraine conflict made Europe a slave to the US, that since 2014 the US has unleashed a real proxy war against Russia, that NATO instigated a war in Ukraine to weaken Russia, or that US and NATO fighting proxy war against Russia in Ukraine.
