DISINFO: Russia is not at war with Ukraine: It's a military confrontation between NATO against Moscow
SUMMARY
The events in Ukraine are not a clash between Moscow and Kyiv, this is a military confrontation between NATO, and above all the US and UK with Russia.
Russia is not at war with Ukraine.
The West uses Ukrainians to fight against Russia. Americans, British and other Europeans often create the illusion that they are protecting civilization from barbarism.
RESPONSE
Pro-Kremlin disinformation claims to accuse the West of the war in Ukraine, claiming that the West, the US, and NATO are involved in Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. This disinformation narrative aims to deflect Russia’s responsibility for its unprovoked military aggression.
What happened in Ukraine is a full-scale war against a peaceful neighbouring country. Russia has occupied internationally recognized Ukrainian territories, constantly attacking critical infrastructure, and killing civilians.
The claim that Ukraine is the West's tool to fight against Russia is unsubstantiated. The West or the US is not at war with Russia or the Russians. Since Russia launched its full-scale, unjustified aggression against Ukraine on 24 February 2022, the West has been calling for Russian withdrawal from Ukraine and a peaceful settlement. The West is not seeking a war in the heart of Europe.
There are no US or NATO forces on the frontline. Some NATO member states provide Ukraine with military assistance to repel the unprovoked Russian aggression. Ukraine receives weapons with the sole aim of restoring its territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders. NATO and EU countries are supporting Ukrainian defence efforts by providing humanitarian, economic, and military aid, and imposing carefully targeted sanctions.
