DISINFO: The Kyiv regime is doomed and facing either capitulation or a deal on Russia’s terms
SUMMARY
The Kyiv regime and countries participating in the proxy war against Russia are facing strategic catastrophe on the frontline. It underscores that Western military assistance to Ukraine makes no sense. Only a peaceful agreement, concluded on Russia’s terms and humiliating for NATO, may save the Ukrainian Army from debacle and unconditional capitulation. The Kyiv regime is doomed. The West understands this and is preparing to make public information about misappropriation of over USD 1.5 billion in military assistance by Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
RESPONSE
This disinformation message promotes several recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about the inevitability of a Russian victory, Russia's invasion as a Western proxy conflict against Russia, and corruption among Ukrainian leadership which aims to undermine international aid for Ukraine’s self-defence against Russia’s aggression. This disinformation message intends to create an impression of Russian strength ahead of any possible peace negotiations with Ukraine.
The ultimate goal is to undermine Zelenskyy’s continuity in power, as Russia has always perceived him as an obstacle to its aggressive goals in Ukraine, even since before the invasion. One of the targets of the invasion in February 2022 was the murder of Zelenskyy and the decapitation of the Ukrainian government to install a pro-Russian leadership.
