DISINFO: The West wants to turn Belarus into a country of chaos

SUMMARY

[Russia’s] wonderful Western partners, above all Poland and the United States, not the EU, wanted to turn Belarus into a territory of chaos. All that is seen is chaos, it is the destruction of the economy to the condition of ‘dust’, it is the defeat of the political system, this is the transformation of a calm Belarus into an absolute ‘Huliai Pole‘ [Lawless Territory]. Everything will be taken out of the country and territory of chaos and banditry will be established very close to Moscow.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin propaganda narratives about the alleged Western influence on Belarus and anti-Russian activities, There is no evidence that the West is preparing a so-called 'colour revolution' in Belarus in order to destabilise the country. The protests in Belarus erupted after the results of the presidential election in Belarus on the 9th of August, which are considered fraudulent by a large part of Belarusian society. The European Union has claimed that they are interested in "a democratic, independent, sovereign, prosperous and stable Belarus". Also, based on the results of a telephone conversation between NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg and President of Poland Andrzej Duda, it was declared that "all Allies support a sovereign and independent Belarus". See previous disinformation cases alleging that the EU continues to support a colour revolution in Belarus.
