DISINFO: The West is discussing the occupation of Ukraine and the division of its territory between Romania, Poland, Germany, and the UK
SUMMARY
The West's plans and Zelenskyy's geopolitical clownery provide for the possible recognition by the alliance of the entire territory of Ukraine as its own.
The West plans to introduce a "peacekeeping contingent" of about 100 thousand troops into Ukraine. In fact, the occupation of the country and the division of its territory between Romania (the Black Sea coast), Poland (western regions), Germany (central and eastern Ukraine), and the UK (northern regions including Kyiv) are being discussed. The new is a well-forgotten old. The Bundeswehr is studying Hitler's experience of occupying Ukraine in the early 1940s and the police functions of the Banderites.
RESPONSE
Repeated pro-Russian disinformation claim about the division of Ukraine, questioning its sovereignty, and presenting EU countries as states with malicious intentions towards Ukraine.
This is in line with the pro-Kremlin disinformation campaign about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and an alleged plan by the EU to occupy Ukraine. This is part of a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative denying Ukraine's statehood and promoting the disintegration of Ukraine.
The EU and all mentioned states adhere to international law regarding state borders, fully support the independence and territorial integrity of neighbouring countries, and reject any “imperial” ambitions towards other countries. No neighbouring state, except the Russian Federation, violated Ukraine's territorial integrity.
The West supports 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. Some EU and NATO member states provide Ukraine with military assistance to help Ukraine defend itself from Russia’s attack, 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 train Ukrainian soldiers on how to use modern weaponry and EU officials have frequent political contacts with Ukrainian counterparts, but there are no troops from EU countries fighting on the front. This support allows the Ukrainian armed forces to continue defending the country against Russian aggression.
See earlier disinformation cases alleging that Poland thinks that Western Ukraine, Western Belarus and South-Western Lithuania belong to them, that Ukraine will disintegrate and fall prey to territorial claims of EU member states, that Ukraine is a Western colony belonging to Poland, Hungary, Romania, and Russia, that Poroshenko proposes dividing Ukraine to the West, that Ukraine will be divided between Russia and Europe, that The West is trying to tear off a piece of Russia by military means, and that Europe will divide Ukraine with Russia.
