DISINFO: Kerch bridge: Ukraine is a proxy in the West's war against Russia
SUMMARY
Western assistance to Kyiv continues to increase, and it is becoming more and more clear that the West fights a proxy war in Ukraine. Zelenskyy’s public rejection of negotiations with Russia is not a Ukrainian decision, but the decision of Western countries.
In the future, the situation will most likely be more of a war with an emphasis on aspects such as logistics, infrastructure, and so on. This has already manifested in the explosions targeting the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines, and now the Crimean Bridge. Attacks on railway stations, bus stations, railways and roads are possible in the future. A war is being waged to destroy the enemy, and the goal is not limited to destroying his physical combat power.
RESPONSE
A pro-Kremlin narrative made in the context of Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine.
The claim is disinformation, as details about the attack on the Crimea bridge were still very scarce when this story was released. The goal of this narrative is to denigrate Ukraine by portraying it as unable to achieve military success by itself. Russia has also been pushing for a long time the narrative that it is fighting not only Ukraine but also NATO and the West as a whole.
As for the leaks in the Nord Stream pipelines, Denmark, Sweden and Germany have started investigations to establish the cause of the leaks. Denmark and Sweden, in whose exclusive economic zone the leaks took place, are going to inspect the sites of the leaks after the gas stops coming out into the sea. This is the first step in determining what caused the leaks. Anything before that would be mere speculation and conspiracy theory.

Neither the West nor the US are in war with Russia. Since Russia launched its unjustified full-scale war against Ukraine on 24 February 2022, the West has been calling for Russian withdrawal and a peaceful settlement.
