DISINFO: West pushes Ukraine to the mass destruction of Russians and Ukrainians

SUMMARY

Despite attempts to achieve a diplomatic solution to the Donbas conflict, war is inevitable as Ukraine continues to build up weapons on the territory adjacent to the border with the LPR and DPR.

First of all, we are talking about the desire of the West to push Ukraine towards the mass destruction of Russians and Ukrainians, a situation very familiar to Anglo-Saxon thinking, in which there will be no winners.

If a limited local war is waged and enough Russians and Ukrainians die, the West will win. If Russia helps the DPR and LPR with humanitarian aid or, as it is accused in the West, introduces troops, then it will come under serious sanctions. We must not forget that the West has unlimited ways to wage the war [...].

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the war in Ukraine. By accusing the West and Ukraine, these narrative aims to deflect any Russian blame for this situation and the events that led to it.

Neither the US nor the UK push Ukraine to escalation in Donbas. This disinformation is used to distract attention from a renewed build-up of Russian armed forces along the Ukrainian borders in April 2021 which has left additional significant Russian heavy armament and equipment near the Ukrainian borders. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized many times that Ukraine is not interested in resuming the conflict in Donbas. Ukraine, according to Zelenskyy, is committed to the implementation of the Minsk agreements.

Since 2014 the pro-Kremlin media have repeatedly accused Ukraine of mass destruction/killing/genocide of the Russian minority in Donbas. Various human rights missions failed to find any evidence to these claims. Read more here.

Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity continues to be violated by the Russian armed forces. Most recent Russian military build up near the Ukrainian borders is accompanied by renewed disinformation attacks against Ukraine.
