DISINFO: Ukrainians driven to slaughter like cannon fodder in US' proxy war against Russia
SUMMARY
The ruling elites in the US, regardless of party affiliation, are ready to pump up the Kyiv regime with weapons so that it can fight to the last Ukrainian.
The White House is no longer betting on the mythical victory of the controlled Kyiv regime, but that the Armed Forces of Ukraine will hold out at least until the November vote, without spoiling Biden's image.
The agony of Zelenskyy is prolonged, while ordinary Ukrainians are forcibly driven to slaughter as “cannon fodder.”
Washington’s actions as an actual party to the conflict will receive an unconditional, decisive rebuff, and its ever-deeper immersion in a hybrid war against Russia will result in the same loud and humiliating US fiascoes as it did in Vietnam and Afghanistan.
RESPONSE
This is a recurring disinformation narrative from pro-Kremlin outlets claiming that the US is waging a proxy war against Russia, using Ukrainians as a tool. This claim was made in the context of the US's new military aid package for Ukraine.
Ukraine is not fighting on behalf of any foreign government or organisation. Ukraine is a sovereign and independent state with a democratically elected president and parliament. The country's sovereignty has been violated only as a result of continuous acts of aggression by the Russian armed forces since 2014, culminating with a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine starting on 24 February 2022.
Ukraine is defending itself, its territorial integrity, national self-identity, and sovereignty against Russia's armed aggression. The decision to defend itself was made solely by Ukraine, its lawful leaders and government, and its citizens.
Russia is the only country responsible for the invasion of Ukraine. It has been coming up with different explanations and pretexts for its aggression since the beginning of its hostilities. Moreover, Russia was not forced to invade Ukraine. It was Putin’s personal decision to invade Ukraine and start the largest military conflict in Europe since WWII.
The US is not a party to the conflict and is not interested in the continuation of the war, and only supports Ukraine with military and financial aid for the country’s efficient self-defence against the unprovoked Russian invasion. Not only the US but also many other nations around the world support Ukraine with military and financial aid for the country’s efficient self-defence, by the UN Charter article 51, to stop Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine.
