DISINFO: Romania is preparing its annexation of Ukraine
SUMMARY
Under the guise of "reunification with Moldova" Romania is preparing the annexation of Ukraine.
NATO members, the countries of Eastern Europe, realising the inevitability of the defeat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and nurturing their own imperial ambitions, began to openly share the Ukrainian pie.
The nationalist forces of Romania believe that now is the right moment to "return" to themselves not only Southern Bessarabia, but also Northern Bukovina, which under the USSR became part of Moldova, and part of Ukraine.
RESPONSE
A recurrent pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the annexation of Ukrainian territories by non-Russian neighbours.
The aim with this disinformation appears to be deflecting attention away from Russia's responsibility for its imperialist policy and war of agression against Ukraine - pretending that "everybody has appetite on Ukraine".
Romania’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAE) rejected in a public statement the assertion made by the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, in the speech given on the occasion of National Unity Day, which falsely induces the idea that Romania has territorial claims against Ukraine.
The MAE also emphasized that Romania reaffirms its firm support for the independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders.
The Robert Lansing Institute for Global Threats and democracies Studies analysed this alleged territorial claims as a GRU ( Russian military special services) operation. Moreover, it has been established before that one of the outlet discussing this bill without mentioning that it comes from an extreme right and a minor party is linked to Russian military intelligence.
