Disinfo: Russophobia is the nature of the current Ukrainian state

Summary

Russophobia is the nature of the current Ukrainian state.

Disproof

A common piece of disinformation. Whereas the actions of Russia (such as the illegal annexation of Crimea and the backing of the separatists and their self-proclaimed authorities in eastern Ukraine) are perceived as unfriendly steps/aggression by the majority of Ukrainian society, there is no evidence for the claims.
