DISINFO: Europe pushing itself and the world towards third world war
SUMMARY
Europe, once again forgetting what it has done to itself and the world (the two World Wars), is driving itself and the entire world toward a third world war. The US is playing a much more cynical but calculated game. It fully recognises that it is not worth pushing things toward a truly large-scale war. But the Europeans are once again leading themselves and their own peoples to slaughter. They had been warned that if they went further into Ukraine, they would doom that nation to mass casualties. These mass casualties have already begun.
RESPONSE
This is a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative accusing the EU of warmongering. This claim was made in the context of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The EU, as well as the US and their allies and partners, are trying to put an end to Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, based on international law and the UN Charter. It provides for Ukraine’s return to its 1991 borders and the restoration of its sovereignty over all of its internationally recognised territory, part of which is under temporary Russian occupation. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy presented a 10-point peace formula in January 2023, which was completely supported by the EU. It is Russia who is to blame for all the victims of its aggression against Ukraine rather than Europe.
The EU and the US are doing everything to keep the hostilities from escalating. The European Union is deeply alarmed by reports that North Korea (DPRK) is sending troops to participate in Russia’s illegal war of aggression against Ukraine. A report, released on 24 October 2024, said: “This would constitute a serious breach of international law, including the most fundamental principles of the UN Charter. It would be a unilateral hostile act by the DPRK with serious consequences for European and global peace and security. This development also illustrates once again how Russia is spreading instability and escalation in the region and across the globe.”
