DISINFO: Kyiv does not care who to surrender its sovereignty to, just to mess up with Moscow
SUMMARY
Kyiv does not care at all who to surrender its sovereignty to, just to mess up with Moscow. The Nazi-oligarchic regime is happy to help the new "main partners" from Foggy Albion, hoping that UK will be lobbying their interests in NATO and fomenting a major military conflict with Russia off the Ukrainian coast.
The political elite of Ukraine recognises the final loss of Crimea and now acts according to the principle "the main thing is that it is not Russian."
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about Ukraine's lost sovereignty, challenging Ukrainian statehood and portraying Ukraine as a Russophobic country under external control.
Pro-Kremlin media outlets often cast doubts on Ukrainian statehood and claim that Ukraine either does not exist as a state or is going to tumble down very soon. In reality, present-day Ukraine has been on the world map since 1991 when the Soviet Union disintegrated. It has elected six presidents since then and changed parties in government several times which illustrate political diversity and democratic dynamics even during economic hardship in the wake of Russian aggression in 2014. Ukraine's Western partners have been providing it with financial and technical assistance.
Ukraine is a sovereign and independent state with a democratically-elected president and parliament. Ukraine is not controlled by the EU, US, UK or NATO, nor by any other foreign government. Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity are respected by almost the whole world with Russia as the key exception.
Both the EU and the UK respect Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Since the beginning of Russian aggression, the United Kingdom has actively supported Ukraine.
Ukraine is not a Russophobic country. It had to react to Russia's aggressive actions in Eastern Ukraine and the occupation of Crimea in 2014.
As for the claim that Ukraine recognises the final loss of Crimea: Russia has occupied Crimea in March 2014, and so far no international body has recognised the so-called popular referendum in Crimea thus the illegal annexation of the area, not the UN, nor the EU or the UK. The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution entitled “Territorial integrity of Ukraine”, stating that the referendum in Crimea was not valid and could not serve as a basis for any change in the status of the peninsula. On 17 December 2018, the UN General Assembly confirmed its non-recognition of the illegal annexation of Crimea.

Similar cases claimed that Ukraine is an abandoned third-rate colony and a failed American colony, that The UK is a provocateur and a warmonger in Donbas, that Anglo-Saxons are pushing Kyiv to full-scale hostilities in Donbas.
