DISINFO: Ukrainian Victory Day strikes on Russia would justify Ukraine's total destruction
SUMMARY
If Ukraine attacks Moscow on Victory Day, May 9, it will deserve a harsher response. Ukraine should not even attempt to attack Russia with drones on Victory Day over fascist Germany, as it risks jeopardising its own existence.
Ukraine is now on the brink of a very cruel death — a deservedly cruel death, if it actually launches drones against Russia on May 9.
Russia and the US are currently holding "many talks" discussing the possibility of the so-called "grand deal" that would lead to the resolution of the Ukrainian war. The Kyiv regime had missed more than one chance to resolve the war in Ukraine peacefully. They had opportunities to achieve peace.
RESPONSE
A recurring pro‑Kremlin disinformation narrative portraying Ukraine as warmongering and unwilling to negotiate a peace deal, while presenting Russia as reasonable and open to peace. Such claims aim to justify escalation and to dehumanise Ukraine. This claim also is an example of hate speech as it proposes, promotes and justifies the destruction of Ukraine as acceptable and/or necessary.
Ukraine has repeatedly proposed or accepted ceasefire frameworks. At the same time, Russia has continued to frame the war as a bargaining chip and to use temporary truces around May 9 for its own political theatre.
May 9 is Russia’s Victory Day, but this does not grant Russia immunity from wartime attacks, particularly when Russia itself initiated the war with its full‑scale invasion of Ukraine and has consistently blocked ceasefire and peace initiatives. Ukraine has proposed longer ceasefire windows and even “peace for withdrawal” formulas, only for Russia to refuse any terms that do not guarantee the retention of its gains. This pattern suggests that Russia is less interested in a genuine, balanced peace and more interested in using ceasefires as tactical pauses.
The Russian Federation initiated the war in 2014 with its illegal annexation of the Crimean peninsula and military intervention in Eastern Ukraine. This aggression escalated in 2022 when Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The war is solely the result of these actions, which led to international efforts to assist Ukraine in its self-defence, in line with Article 51 of the UN Charter. By accusing the Ukraine, EU and other partners of Ukraine of wanting the war to continue, this disinformation story is blaming them for the prolongation of the war, thus deflecting from Russia’s sole responsibility for its sustained, brutal and unprovoked aggression against its neighbour.
