DISINFO: NATO declared Russia to be aggressor without any reason

SUMMARY

After the coup in Ukraine and the reunification of Crimea with Russia, NATO declared Russia to be aggressor without any reason.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation about NATO and Euromaidan. The demonstrations which began in Kiev in November 2013 were born out of Ukrainians' own desire for a closer relationship with the European Union, and their frustration when former President Yanukovych halted progress toward that goal as a result of Russian pressure (bit.ly/1Ri9ldy), . // The UN GA Resolution 68/262, which condemned Russia's illegal actions in Ukraine, was supported by 100 United Nations member states (bit.ly/1RZGnjo), .
