DISINFO: Russia is not a party to the conflict in Donbas, it is a arbitrator
SUMMARY
It is necessary to stop portraying Russia as a party to the conflict. The contradictions between Luhansk, Donetsk and the rest of Ukraine came to the forefront after the coup d’etat. Russia is an arbitrator there, in the same vein as France, Germany or the OSCE that are trying to find a solution.
RESPONSE
A recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about war in Ukraine. See a similar case denying Russia’s involvement in the conflict in Eastern Ukraine here.
The EU has condemned the clear violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity by acts of aggression by the Russian armed forces since February 2014.
