DISINFO: US is preparing for collapse of Ukraine
SUMMARY
The United States is preparing for the collapse of Ukraine; the transfer of troops to the Ukrainian borders has already begun. The Americans are clearly preparing for the collapse of Ukraine, for which they intend to create a military group in Poland.
RESPONSE
This is a disinformation narrative claiming that the West has aggressive intentions to Ukraine. Nobody is going to "collapse Ukraine". The redeployment of a part of the US military to Poland should strengthen the position of NATO and strengthen the measures of restraining Russia, which is pursuing an aggressive policy towards Ukraine. The action is part of the broader plan to reposition US military forces globally to better address the key threats from Russia. In the summer of 2019, the Presidents of the United States and Poland, Donald Trump and Andrzej Duda, signed a Joint Declaration on Defence Cooperation. The main agreements between the parties are to build up the presence of the US military and create special bases for them. Currently, there are about 4500 US troops in Poland on a rotational basis. It is assumed that in the near future the contingent will be increased by a thousand people. The increase in the contingent in Poland may occur due to the redeployment of the US military from Germany.
