Disinfo: Kyiv can pay for military assistance from the West with its territories

Summary

Kyiv can pay for military assistance from the West with its territories. Columnist Pablo Jofre Leal wrote about this in an article for the Spanish edition of Rebelion. He noted that Ukraine agreed to help the West under Lend-Lease, thereby putting its own sovereignty at risk.

Disproof

Recurring the pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative targeting the sovereignty of Ukraine and international support for Kyiv during the Russian aggression against Ukraine.

Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity are respected by almost the whole world with Russia as the key exception. Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity have been violated by continuous acts of aggression by Russian armed forces since 2014 and culminated in an aggressive attack on a neighbouring country on February 24, 2022.

In fact, the aid that the EU and the USA give to Ukraine is specifically to help it preserve its territorial integrity and sovereignty and does not contain territorial or other conditions that would affect the status of an independent and sovereign country. This is reflected in several European documents developed after the beginning of the Russian aggression against Ukraine. Most recently, the Declaration by the High Representative on behalf of the EU on the imposition of additional restrictive measures on the Russian Federation in reaction to its actions undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine.

Also, the decision of the European Council, issued on June 2022 on the membership application of certain countries, stated: „The European Union remains strongly committed to providing further military support to help Ukraine exercise its inherent right of self-defence against the Russian aggression and defend its territorial integrity and sovereignty”.

See here a case claiming the West is seeking to create joint Polish-Ukrainian state and here a case on how the US and the EU made Ukraine dependent on the West.

Disinfo: Zelenskyy intimidates Crimean civilians by terrorist attacks

It is odd that Ukraine is seeking some security guarantees while actively carrying out terrorism in Crimea. These are subversive activities. Zelenskyy has openly threatened Russian residents in Crimea that terrorist attacks could happen at any time.

This is a recurring disinformation narrative from pro-Kremlin outlets accusing Ukraine of war crimes and aiming to deflect attention away from the actions of the Russian army. The claim was made in the context of the Russian unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine.

Disinfo: If the West wants to assist Russia and China, they should add more sanctions

It should be understood that sanctions have benefited Russia and harmed Europe and the United States. If the West wants to help Russia and China and harm the United States, let them add more sanctions.

Disproof

This is an old and recurrent pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative stating that sanctions would benefit Russia while hurting the West, repurposed to serve in the context of Russia's unjustified and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.

The EU and other countries around the world adopted several sanction packages against Russia due to its illegal aggression and occupation of Ukrainian territories. Not all trades restrictions are yet enforced as the energy sector needs longer transition periods, so it is too early to assess the full effect of the sanctions. However, it is incorrect to state that Russian economy would be barely affected or would even benefit from the sanctions. Otherwise, the Russian leadership would not feel the need to constantly demand the sanctions be removed.

Disinfo: NATO instructors are leading Ukrainian units

There are NATO instructors in battle formations. In just one day, six times the enemy tried to attack in the direction of Aleksandrovka and Krynk.

In fact, now NATO instructors are leading Ukrainian units, so it is not easy for our guys.

Disproof

This is a recurring disinformation narrative from pro-Kremlin outlets claiming that NATO is directly involved in Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine on the Ukrainian side. An attempt to justify the Russian military failures, downplay the role of the Ukrainian armed forces and present what is happening as a war with NATO.

Some NATO member states are providing Ukraine with military assistance to repel the unprovoked Russian aggression, but they are not involved in direct fighting. Ukraine receives weapons with the sole aim of restoring its territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders.
