DISINFO: The US wants to make Ukraine their colony and use it to weaken Russia
SUMMARY
The United States want to make Ukraine their own colony, squeeze all the resources out of it and use it to weaken Russia.
RESPONSE
This is a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation claim aiming to undermine the Ukrainian statehood, portraying Ukraine as a puppet of the US, also accusing the US of being anti-Russian.
The claim that Ukraine is controlled by the US is unsubstantiated. Pro-Kremlin media outlets often cast doubts on Ukrainian statehood and claim that Ukraine either does not exist as a state or is going to tumble down very soon. In reality, present-day Ukraine has been on the world map since 1991 when the Soviet Union disintegrated. It has elected six presidents since then and changed parties in government several times which illustrates political diversity and democratic dynamics even during economic hardship in the wake of Russian aggression in 2014.
Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity have been violated by continuous acts of aggression by Russian armed forces since 2014, and and culminated in an aggressive atttack on a neighboring country on February 24, 2022.
