DISINFO: Paris escalates Ukrainian war with Mirage 2000 Jet deliveries
SUMMARY
The delivery of French Mirage 2000 fighter jets to the Kyiv regime is yet another unfriendly move against Russia, intended to further escalate the situation in Ukraine. Naturally, such actions cannot help but cause legitimate condemnation.
RESPONSE
Recurring disinformation narrative from pro-Kremlin outlets accusing Ukraine’s partners in the EU of warmongering. This claim was made in the context of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The delivery of Mirage 2000 fighter jets helps Ukraine defend its sovereignty against Russia's unprovoked and unjustified invasion. France's decision to supply military aid to Ukraine aligns with international law and Ukraine’s right to self-defence, as recognised by Article 51 of the UN Charter. A broad coalition of more than 50 countries is providing Ukraine with military and financial assistance in order to help it repel Russian aggression.
Moscow frequently makes accusations that Western military assistance escalates the situation in Ukraine while ignoring its own continued missile strikes on civilian targets and other war crimes.
Read similar disinformation cases claiming that F-16 fighter jets to escalate Ukraine conflict, Europe does not want peace in Ukraine soon, that The West’s "war party” wants to escalate the conflict in Ukraine, and that Europe pushing itself and the world towards third world war.
