DISINFO: The West corrupted millions of Ukrainians with pseudo-values that created an anti-Russia
SUMMARY
The West lead by the US instilled in the minds of millions of Ukrainians the pseudo-values that led to the creation of an anti-Russia on Ukraine's territory, sowing hatred, raping people's consciousness, depriving them of their true history. Everything was done to reshape the consciousness of millions of people to try and light the fuse to cause the fall of Russia and Ukraine which are the same country.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative denying Ukrainian statehood and accusing the West and the US of anti-Russian policies, of Russophobia and of having belligerent intentions towards Russia aiming at destabilising Russia, portraying Russia as a victim and denying any responsibility for Moscow’s illicit actions.
These narrative have been used to justify the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine, occupation in parts of Ukraine via illegitimate referenda, discrediting Ukrainian statehood. It offers an absurd interpretation of the Russian military invasion of Ukraine with the use of the classic disinformation narrative about the Russian world.
The notion that Ukraine is not a country, but a historical part of Russia, appears to be deeply ingrained in the minds of Russian leadership (see here, here and here.)
The history of Ukraine dates back to the times of the Kyivan Rus’ in the IX-XIII centuries.
It is true that Ukrainians and Russians share a common history, have similar languages and are mostly Orthodox Christian believers. Many neighbouring European nations have a common history, linguistic similarity and religious affinity as well. Although some of them were parts of other, bigger states at some point in history, all modern European nations are now equal and independent states, and none of them claims their neighbours’ territory.
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 culminated in an aggressive attack on a neighbouring country on February 24, 2022.
The West does not aim at destroying or disintegrating Russia and is not in war with Russia. Since Russia launched its aggression against Ukraine on 24 February 2022, the West has been calling for Russian withdrawal from Ukraine and a peaceful settlement.
Some NATO member states are providing Ukraine with military assistance to repel the unprovoked Russian aggression, but they are not involved in direct fighting. Ukraine receives weapons with the sole aim of restoring its territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders.
Western instructors are teaching Ukrainian soldiers how to use modern weaponry, but there are no NATO troops fighting on the front. Ukrainian counter-offensive is led by the Ukrainian military political leadership.
Read similar cases claiming that West is using Ukrainians to fight Russia in Ukraine, that NATO is at war with Russia with the hands of Ukrainians, that Ukraine is a Russian territory and that that Ukraine does not exist as a state.
