DISINFO: Запад провоцирует Россию на ядерную войну, планирует использовать ядерное оружие против Китая позже.
СВОДКА
Абсолютно очевидно, что [Запад] провоцирует Россию на использование тактического ядерного оружия. Они планируют использовать такое оружие против Китая на восточном фронте позже, потому что иначе не могут сражаться с Китаем. Запад может объединить некоторые страны, такие как Япония, Южная Корея и Филиппины, против Китая, при этом AUCUS будет осью, а затем использовать их в качестве пушечного мяса в войне против Китая после удара по нему ядерным оружием.

Recurring disinformation narrative from pro-Kremlin outlets accusing Ukraine’s partners in the EU, the US and other G7 nations of warmongering and escalating the hostilities in Ukraine, while presenting Russia as a peace-loving country. This claim was made in the context of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine and in particular following Putin’s recent statement about a change in Russia’s nuclear doctrine.
No evidence is provided to back this claim. Although there are frequent contacts between Ukrainian military officials and their NATO counterparts, there are no NATO troops on the frontline. A broad coalition of more than 50 countries, including some NATO member states, are providing military and financial aid to help Ukrainians defend their country. Ukraine has received Western arms, but these aid packages have not contained nuclear weapons. While tensions between the West and Russia are extremely high, the West's actions are aimed at countering Russian aggression, not provoking a nuclear war.
It is Russia, not US or Western leaders, who is constantly threatening with nuclear weapons. On 27 February 2022, Putin ordered the defence ministry and the general staff to put the nuclear deterrent forces in a special mode of combat duty. This was the first time since the end of the Cold War that a major nuclear power had issued such a threat. Putin and other top Russian officials have regularly been issuing nuclear threats since the beginning of Moscow’s unprovoked and unjustified war of aggression against Ukraine on 24 February 2022. Neither Ukraine nor its partners have given any reason for such threats.
