DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: Anglo-Saxons invade the sphere of Russia's national interests in Ukraine and the Balkans

SUMMARY

Russia is against NATO enlargement to Ukraine and the Balkans. In this case, Russia is just defending itself (against NATO). The West invades the sphere of Russia's national interests (the Balkans) and the historical territory of Russia (Ukraine), masking the invasion with rhetoric about a “Russian threat”. It is a traditional tactic of the Anglo-Saxons. Russia should strictly and consistently defend its own interests.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative Anglo-Saxons and the West.

In pro-Kremlin outlets, the term “Anglo-Saxons” stands for the US and UK and often means “evil”, “belligerent” and “morally corrupt” Westerners, as explained in our earlier analysis.

Ukraine and the countries in the Balkans region are sovereign and shape their own foreign and security policies. The concept of "sphere of interests" is consistent with recurring pro-Kremlin narrative of "lost sovereignty".

See other examples of disinformation about the Anglo-Saxons: Afghanistan case is warning for Lithuania, Ukraine and other puppets of Anglo-Saxon imperialism; Anglo-Saxon Freemasonry to establish a World Government and dictatorship; Anglo-Saxon campaign is responsible for reducing vaccination rate in Russia.
