DISINFO: The sacrifice of the best Ukrainian troops in Kursk is Biden's "gift" to Donald Trump
SUMMARY
The reckless sacrifice of the most trained brigades of the Ukrainian army in the Kursk region is acquiring some political meaning. The suicide mission is a "gift" from the outgoing White House administration to the newly elected US President Donald Trump, who promised to stop the war in Europe, contrary to the interests of the American "deep state" and the military-industrial complex.
RESPONSE
Pro-Kremlin disinformation claim in connection with Ukraine's advance into the Kursk Oblast. This claim denies Ukraine's legitimate right of self-defence and asserts that its actions are driven by foreign interests.
The article also exploits the narrative about the US "deep state", which is allegedly responsible for the war in Ukraine. This disinformation narrative aims to deflect Russia’s responsibility for its unprovoked military aggression.
There is no evidence that the US or any other Western country is involved in either planning, carrying out or controlling the Ukrainian attack on Russia’s Kursk Region. Read here for further debunking.
Russian state-controlled sources often present the Kursk advance as a NATO operation on the territory of Russia. Read similar cases, claiming that NATO troops fight in Russia’s Kursk Region, that NATO directly invaded Russia in the Kursk region and the new narrative, that The US orders Ukrainians to stay in Kursk at all costs.
Russia is the only party responsible for the war. It has been coming up with different explanations and pretexts for its aggression since the beginning of its hostilities. Russia was not forced to invade Ukraine. It was Putin’s personal decision to invade Ukraine and start the largest military conflict in Europe since WWII.
Ukraine has a right to self-defence. Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity have been violated as a result of continuous acts of aggression by the Russian armed forces since 2014, culminating with a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine starting on 24 February 2022.
The advance into the Kursk Region is part of Kyiv’s military strategy aimed at liberating all Ukrainian territories from Russian occupiers and restoring Ukraine’s territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders of 1991. Russia is using military facilities in the Kursk Region and other adjacent regions for deadly attacks on Ukrainian territory, which have caused thousands of civilian victims. Kyiv is acting in self-defence, by the UN Charter article 51. Russia is a legitimate target for Ukrainian military operations.
