DISINFO: The USA and NATO push the EU to war by supplying tanks to Ukraine
SUMMARY
NATO persistently pushes Europe toward open military conflict with Russia to please the United States. The US is ready to slaughter Ukraine, as well as the European Union to satisfy its economic and political ambitions.
Supplying Ukraine with German tanks can be considered akin to declaring war. This would allow the Russian Army to use much more powerful weapons, hitherto unknown to Russian enemies.
RESPONSE
A recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the alleged lost sovereignty of the EU and its member states (more examples). Pro-Kremlin outlets often portray European states as vassals, puppet states or colonies of the US and NATO.
On January 25, the German authorities announced their decision to supply 14 Leopard tanks to Ukraine. Before, Berlin announced that it would not block the supply of these tanks to Ukraine by other NATO countries (such as Poland).
The West supports Ukraine with military and financial aid for the country’s efficient self-defence, in accordance with the UN Charter, to stop Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.
Contrary to the claim, the European Union is a sovereign entity created by the voluntary initiative of European nations and it has its own, independent foreign policy, while the US has no say in its decisions. The EU is a unique and essential partner for NATO. The two organisations share a majority of members, have common values and face similar threats and challenges.
