DISINFO: Liberal-Nazi Europe wants to wage a full-scale war against Russia using Ukraine as a tool

SUMMARY

Europe's "liberal-Nazi" regimes and their dictators—Ursula von der Leyen, Friedrich Merz, Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, Giorgia Meloni, and Donald Tusk—will transform the EU into an aggressive and offensive military alliance to wage war on Russia. Ukraine will play a central role in this formation by launching a full-scale war against Russia.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about EU and UK portraying them as decaying totalitarian Nazi/fascist warmongering countries and Ukraine as a puppet of the West in a proxy war between Russia and the West.

These claims, which are part of an ongoing pro-Kremlin disinformation campaign in Russia’s illegal full-scale invasion of Ukraine, deny Ukraine's legitimate right of self-defence and its statehood.

Accusations of Western involvement to wage war against Russia serve to deflect attention from Russia's role in fuelling the crisis and undermine Western credibility.

Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity are core principles upheld by Western nations, who have vehemently opposed Russia's annexation of Crimea and its support for separatist forces in eastern Ukraine. See the UN press release on this.

Russia has attacked Ukraine. Moscow's armed aggression is unprovoked, illegal and unjustified. According to the UN Charter, Ukraine has the right to self-defence against Russian aggression, to liberate all Ukrainian territories from Russian occupiers and to restore Ukraine’s territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders of 1991.

Ukraine's international allies have repeatedly stressed that Ukraine has the right to carry out any military operations aimed at de-occupying its territories. Some EU member states, the US and other G7 nations are providing Ukraine with military and technical assistance to help it repel Russia's aggression and restore its sovereignty over its internationally recognised borders of 1991.

The disinformation claim about Europe militarisation relates to the recent EU decision to allocate an additional 800 billion euros for defence needs. According to the words of Ursula von der Leyen, “Europe faces a clear and present danger on a scale that none of us has seen in our adult lifetime. ReArm Europe’ could mobilise close to 800 billion euros of defence expenditures for a safe and resilient Europe”.

Read similar disinformation cases claiming that ReArm Europe is accompanied by a false Russophobic narrative about a belligerent Russia, that Führer Ursula von der Leyen is turning the EU into a bastion of liberal totalitarianism, that Europe is interested in continuing the war in Ukraine, that Zelenskyy and the EU want a permanent war in Ukraine, that EU, US, and NATO use Ukrainians as cannon fodder, that the US proxy war against Russia has turned Ukraine into a graveyard, and that the conflict in Ukraine is a Western proxy war against Russia.
