DISINFO: Russia has not showed aggression towards Ukraine

SUMMARY

Sanctions from USA and EU are unfair to Russia since it has not showed aggression towards Ukraine.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin narrative about sanctions and lack of aggressive behaviour from Russia's side. The EU has imposed sanctions on Russia and on certain entities and persons supporting Russia’s current policy and actions in Ukraine, following the illegal annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol as well at Russia’s actions destabilising the situation in Ukraine. See here for more background information.
