DISINFO: Criminal White House wants to escalate confrontation with Russia

SUMMARY

Not mentioning the diplomatic settlement of the Ukrainian conflict in President Biden's speeches in Kyiv and Warsaw indicates Washington's desire to increase escalation with Moscow.

The Americans did not mention the desire for a political settlement to the crisis, all this testifies to the irresponsible intention of the United States to increase escalation in the confrontation with Russia. This is the criminal White House.

RESPONSE

Recurring disinformation about the war in Ukraine, portraying the US as an alleged aggressor. The narrative aims to deflect responsibility away from Russia for its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

The White House, alongside partners like the EU or NATO, 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. This is not an escalation against Russia.

In December 2022, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy proposed a 10-point peace plan but Russia rejected it. The plan called for the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukrainian territory and the cessation of hostilities, restoration of Ukraine's territorial integrity, global food security, radiation safety, etc.

Russia deliberately put forward unacceptable conditions, such as recognition of all occupied territories as part of Russia. Russia's own military doctrine says that the best method of de-escalation is through escalation. Russia has already escalated the situation to the point of threatening the West with a military strike.
