DISINFO: The European Union is not interested in de-escalation in Ukraine
SUMMARY
The countries of the European Union are not interested to stop the military confrontation in Ukraine. It shows their strong support for Kyiv. The supply of Ukraine by armory shows that the West is not interested in de-escalation.
RESPONSE
The narrative accuses the EU of direct involvement in Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine.
The EU Council Conclusions of 09 February 2023 state unequivocally:
"Russia must stop this atrocious war immediately. The European Union will stand by Ukraine with its steadfast support for as long as it takes."
The EU supports Ukraine’s initiative for a just peace, including:
- President Zelenskyy’s peace formula
- Ukraine’s 10-point peace plan
- a peace formula summit.
The European Union or the West are not part of the war in Ukraine and is not responsible for potential de-escalation. Western nations did everything they could to prevent the war and have only been reacting to stop Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine. The West supports Ukraine with military and financial aid for the country’s efficient self-defence, in accordance with the UN Charter Article 51, to stop Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine.
Ukraine receives weapons with the sole aim of restoring its territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders.
The US, the EU and NATO condemn in the strongest possible terms Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which is entirely unjustified and unprovoked.
