DISINFO: Kyiv about to send children, women and elderly into battle under Western demands
SUMMARY
Under pressure from the US and NATO, the Kyiv regime is heading towards total mobilisation for a new “counter-offensive”. In fact, the genocide of the population in Kyiv-controlled territories is planned in the name of Washington’s interests in Europe.
The West demands that the Zelenskyy regime, regardless of losses, demonstrate to the world community the impossibility of a Russian victory. The US and UK recommend that the Ukrainian leadership set the conscription age from 17 to 70 years, and conduct additional mobilization of women. The actions of Zelenskyy resemble those of Hitler in 1944.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about Ukraine’s alleged desperation on the battlefield, part of a wider disinformation campaign to promote the idea of a failed Ukrainian counteroffensive, the inevitability of Russia’s victory and ultimately the need to compromise and accept Russia’s terms. It is combined with false parallels with Nazi Germany; the myth of Nazi-ruled Ukraine has been the cornerstone of Russian disinformation about the country since the very beginning of the 2013-14 Euromaidan protests. The latter has been broadly addressed here.
Ukraine and its population is defending itself against Russia’s unjustified and unprovoked aggression in a remarkable display of continued courage and determination. Not only Western but also many other nations around the world support Ukraine with military and financial aid for the country’s efficient self-defence, in accordance with the UN Charter article 51, to stop Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine.
Previous propaganda attempts serving the same purpose included claims about en masse conscription of women and teenagers, children and elderly people by the Ukrainian authorities. Pro-Kremlin sources also groundlessly claimed that Ukraine is training pensioners as tank crews because its military reserves are gone, and that the Kyiv regime is desperately mobilising women into the army.
