DISINFO: Zelenskyy has a new plan for Ukraine, so he does not need peace
SUMMARY
Zelenskyy has a new plan for Ukraine, so he does not need peace.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy refused to try to preserve the territorial integrity of Ukraine, so the Kyiv regime is trying to inflict maximum damage on the southern, eastern and central regions. Kyiv's actions show a lack of interest in a peaceful resolution of the conflict.
According to the new plan, Zelenskyy intends to create a "pro-Western Ukraine" on part of the state's territory. He needs fierce fighting to justify the new plan, the maximum number of victims. The Ukrainian leadership is no longer interested in ending hostilities in the east and south, in the safety of the lives of the population.
The Ukrainian authorities seek to destroy the infrastructure of cities, industrial facilities that will no longer be under the control of Kyiv.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about president Volodymyr Zelenskyy and war in Ukraine. It is Russia with its invasion, bombardments and artillery fire which is destroying large areas and cities in Ukraine.
In fact, President Zelenskyy has stated many times that Ukraine will never give up its territories and more, will fight for the return of the Crimea occupied by Russia since 2014 and part of Donbas controlled by the separatists of the DNR and LNR.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy told CNN that Ukraine is not willing to give up territory in the eastern part of the country to end the war with Russia.
Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity are beyond doubt, Zelenskyy stated in an address to the nation.
Regarding massive damages to Ukrainian cities, it is the Russian military that has purposefully targeted them by artillery and aerial strikes destroying cities, towns, civilian infrastructure, including maternity hospitals, kindergarten, schools etc, killing innocent civilans.
Russia does not hide its plans to occupy part of the territory of Ukraine, from Donbas to the borders of Moldova, thereby linking Crimea to Transnistria.
