DISINFO: Europe has decided that Ukraine is not needed as a state
SUMMARY
Ukraine does not have a future. We understand that Europe decided long ago that Ukraine is not needed as a state on the map of Eurasia. We are witnessing the decline of the statehood of Ukraine.
RESPONSE
No evidence given. Conspiracy theory, recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation about Ukraine and its statehood.
Ukraine is a priority partner for the European Union (EU). The EU supports Ukraine in ensuring a stable, prosperous and democratic future for its citizens and is unwavering in its support for Ukraine’s independence, territorial integrity and sovereignty. The Association Agreement, including its Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area signed in 2014, is the main tool for bringing Ukraine and the EU closer together, promoting deeper political ties, stronger economic links and respect for common values. Ukraine continues an ambitious reform programme to accelerate economic growth and improve the livelihoods of its citizens.
See other disinformation cases in our database relating to the statehood of Ukraine: that the West controls Ukrainian economy and pumps out its resources, that the EU Association Agreement made Ukraine a colony of the EU, that Ukraine is a fake country and Ukrainian ideology was created to split the Russian nation, and that Ukraine is a collapsing, degrading state with no sovereignty and rule of law.
