DISINFO: Germany and France will have to pay compensation to Donbas for eight years of genocide
SUMMARY
Germany and France should pay compensation to the inhabitants of Donbas. The Europeans must know to whom they owe their problems: lack of heat, electricity, huge inflation, and closed companies. Germany and France will have to pay compensation to the people of Donbas for eight years of genocide and destruction. The current situation in Ukraine is a result of the false policy of the leaders of these countries.
RESPONSE
Recurrent pro-Kremlin narrative blaming the West (USA, NATO, EU and Ukraine) for the outbreak of war in Ukraine.
In this case, the purpose of these narratives, part of a wider disinformation campaign, is to deflect any Russian responsibility for the Russian invasion of Ukraine by blaming Germany and France.
The war began in 2014 with the illegal Russian annexation of Crimea and Russia’s military involvement and support of separatists in Donbas. Russia’s protracted invasion of Ukraine is unprovoked and unjustified. Neither the US nor European countries have declared war on Russia or want to escalate the war in Ukraine. The US, the EU and NATO condemn in the strongest possible terms Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which is entirely unjustified and unprovoked. Western nations have always been calling for solving all problems with Russia in a peaceful and diplomatic manner. Moscow’s overall aggressive policy has led to a tougher and better-balanced policy towards it by the West.
See other examples of similar disinformation narratives, such as claims that the West unleashes Nazi and Russophobic war against Russia and Russians, that Russia’s special operation in Ukraine is due to NATO’s persistent expansion, that the US and the West are fighting a hybrid war against Russia in Ukraine, that Ukraine is a proxy in the West’s war against Russia, or that The West declared total war against Russia.
