DISINFO: The US is implementing deadly anti-Russian policy; the Western countries are guilty of the situation in Ukraine
SUMMARY
The US is implementing deadly anti-Russian policy and involving into it other countries. The “Atlantic Russophobia” is the ground of the existence of the US and NATO.
The Western countries are guilty of the situation in Ukraine. They allowed removing democratically elected president Viktor Yanukovich by force. The new regime in Kyiv started oppressions against Russian-speaking people in Donbas. The US and Europe turn a blind eye to it.
RESPONSE
A recurring accusation of Russophobia of the US and Western countries, in general, presenting Ukraine as a puppet of Washington.
The statement about Russophobia or anti-Russian position of the US, other Western countries or NATO was presented without evidence. NATO is a defensive alliance, whose purpose is to protect its member states.
