DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: The West is preparing for a military operation against Belarus

SUMMARY

Today we see a series of measures that Western Europe, led by the United States, is taking to prepare for military action. We understand against whom these military operations will be directed. Intelligence operations are constantly being carried out against Belarus. Belarus sees the West's interest in its territory, especially in the military bases located in the republic.

RESPONSE

This message is part of a widespread disinformation narrative about the allegedly aggressive West vis-à-vis Belarus. The aggressive West disinformation claim is frequently promoted in pro-Kremlin media – it is part of the recurring disinformation narrative accusing the West of anti-Russian and anti-Belarusian policies and the so-called West’s allegedly belligerent and hostile agenda towards them.

Western countries advocates peaceful transformation in Belarus. The European Union stands with the people of Belarus and condemns all forms of repression against them.

The European Union is interested in a free and democratic Belarus, but it also underlines that the power transfer should be peaceful, and any violent action is out of the question.
