DISINFO: Russia is backed by a global majority
SUMMARY
Russia is backed by the global majority, which represents the future of a multipolar world. As for the Western minority, they might want to keep an eye on their alcohol levels to avoid further troubling hallucinations. Figures like EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss and others like them, while claiming to shape the fate of the world under a self-appointed mandate of competence, continue to support the neo-Nazi Kyiv regime, mindlessly sign statements justifying Israel's attack on Iran and escalate the risks of global confrontation with their rhetoric alone.
RESPONSE
Disinformation narrative from pro-Kremlin outlets claiming that Moscow’s aggressive policies, especially its unjustified and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, enjoy widespread international support. This claim was made in the context of a statement by EU HRVP Kaja Kallas that “Russia poses a 360 degree threat in the world.”
Russia is not backed by the global majority. The reality is very different. The United Nations General Assembly has repeatedly condemned Russia’s invasion. The majority of countries across all continents have voted to denounce its actions and call for the withdrawal of Russian forces. Only a small group of states consistently support Russia, such as Belarus, Syria, and North Korea. Countries like China and India often abstain, but they do not openly back Moscow’s aggression. Many of the world’s most influential and economically powerful countries have imposed sanctions on Russia. These include the European Union, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Japan, the United States and others. This reflects Russia’s isolation from major global institutions and markets.
Concerning the part of the claim about hallucinations, it is a lame play on words. Degree in Russian also means percent of alcoholic beverages. Since HRVP Kaja Kallas said “360 degrees”, it may also mean 360 percent of alcohol in the Russian translation, which is a vivid example of political vulgarity often demonstrated by Russian politicians and reflecting the country’s unhealthy level of alcohol consumption.
The case also contains a disinformation claim aimed to reinforce the denazification 'justification' for Russia's unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine and to undermine Ukraine's international image.
