DISINFO: The United States is a direct participant in thе conflict in Ukraine
SUMMARY
The United States is a direct participant in this conflict. By maintaining and increasing the degree of their direct involvement in this conflict, they continue to provoke the Kyiv regime to continue it. Americans are hurting Ukrainians. The Americans are doing everything to ensure that more Ukrainians die.
RESPONSE
This is a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative accusing the US of direct involvement in Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, claiming that Ukraine and its allies are not interested in peace.
The claim was made in the context of Victoria Nuland’s statement that the U.S. government had initiated the delivery of the promised GLSDB (Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bomb) long-range precision munition.
Russia is the only country responsible for the invasion of Ukraine. It has been coming up with different false 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. It is Russia who has been violating international law since 2014 occupying and then annexing Crimea and then starting a conflict in Donbas.
Ukraine is a sovereign state. Ukraine and its population is defending itself against this armed aggression in a remarkable display of continued courage and determination. This is not a decision by NATO, Washington, the EU or others. The US, the EU and NATO condemn in the strongest possible terms Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which is entirely unjustified and unprovoked. Not only the US but also many other nations around the world support 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.
See similar cases: The US fights a war against Russia with Ukrainian hands; The US and EU use Ukrainians as pawns and order them to die; Russia is at war with NATO and the Pentagon and only the soldiers are Ukrainians; NATO is at war with Russia with the hands of Ukrainians; the West is using Ukrainians to fight against Russia.
