DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: Ukraine, Czech Republic, Slovakia, and the Baltic states are American puppets

SUMMARY

Soft power, propaganda, systems of alliances, and all these subtle and complex tools, which were used by the United States of America, cease to function. Increasingly, Washington is resorting to brutal dictatorship and violence. Likewise, the crisis of the current system is reflected in international relations, while centers of power become less inclined to talk to subordinates and agents, and prefer to speak directly with the masters who make decisions.

We can see this very clearly in Ukraine, where the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, is no longer wasting his time discussing the Ukrainian crisis with the American puppet, the Ukrainian President, Vladimir Zelenskyy. He prefers to talk directly with Washington, Berlin and Paris. The same applies to the diplomatic crisis between Russia, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and the Baltic states.

RESPONSE

This disinformation message advances pro-Kremlin narratives undermining the statehood of Ukraine and sovereignty of the Baltic states as a result of their partnership with the US and the EU.

There is no evidence that the West is depriving Ukraine, Czechia, Slovakia or the Baltic states of their sovereignty or that they are used as tools against Russia. The Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania), Slovakia and Czechia are all fully-fledged members of the EU and NATO, where they have the same rights as any other member state.

Ukraine is an independent country. Its sovereignty and territorial integrity are respected by almost all countries. Ukraine is a priority partner for the EU and a strategic partner for the US. The EU, the US, and other Western partners support the democratic development of Ukraine in accordance with the UN Charter’s principles of non-interference into internal affairs and respect towards territorial integrity and political independence.

See similar disinformation cases alleging that The West deprived Ukraine and Baltic states of their sovereignty, Ukraine has become a neo-colony of the West., and that Ukraine is occupied by the Americans.
