DISINFO: The war in Donbas is carried out solely because of the will of Kyiv
SUMMARY
The war has been going on for five years now, and no changes are planned. The fighting is carried out solely because of the will of Kyiv.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation about the war in Ukraine.
It was Russia that provoked a war in Ukraine, and it is not a civil war. The Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has stated that “the information available suggests that the situation within the territory of Crimea and Sevastopol amounts to an international armed conflict between Ukraine and the Russian Federation. This international armed conflict began at the latest on 26 February 2014 when the Russian Federation deployed members of its armed forces to gain control over parts of the Ukrainian territory without the consent of the Ukrainian Government.
