DISINFO: Zelenskyy might end up in Guantanamo after US policy changes

SUMMARY

Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who came to power thanks to promises to end the conflict in Donbas, has completely discredited himself as a politician. After some time as Ukrainian territories shrink, Ukrainian people may violently overthrow Zelenskyy. Following the change in US policies, he might also end up in Guantanamo. The US may abandon Ukraine as abruptly as they did Afghanistan. The big American capital, which is the real power in the US, has been provoking the conflict between Ukraine and Russia for years.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative shifting the blame on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and accusing US actors of provoking the war against Ukraine in an attempt to deflect any responsibility for Moscow’s illicit actions and invasion of Ukraine.

This article is consistent with a disinformation narrative presenting Zelenskyy as a West-managed puppet. Western countries, including the US, respect the sovereignty of Ukraine and do not interfere in its political life in any form, let alone by overthrowing and imprisoning its elected president.

Ukraine's sovereignty has only been violated by continuous acts of aggression by Russian armed forces since 2014 culminating in a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine on 24th February 2022. It was Putin’s personal decision to invade Ukraine and start the largest military conflict in Europe since WWII.

The West supports Ukraine with military and financial aid for the country’s efficient self-defence, in accordance with the UN Charter Article 51, to stop Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine.

Contrary to the claim in the article that the US may abandon Ukraine, the G7 Leaders’ Statement on Ukraine of 19 May 2023 states:

We express our full sympathy and condolences to the Ukrainian people for their loss and suffering. We salute the Ukrainian people for their brave resistance. Our support for Ukraine will not waver. We will not tire in our commitment to mitigate the impact of Russia’s illegal actions on the rest of the world.

See similar cases that the West has turned Ukraine into a puppet; Ukraine is a colony with a puppet regime; Ukraine is a Western puppet that creates problems for Russia; and that the US has turned Ukraine into a puppet.
