Disinfo: The West is the real enemy of Russia, Ukraine and Poland

Summary

It is important to understand that the responsibility for the bloodshed [in Ukraine] falls primarily on the West, encouraging and forcing Ukraine into aggression against Donbas and Russia. The common enemy of the Ukrainians, the Russians and the Poles is the West, especially the USA and the UK, which clash these brother nations with each other.

The conflict in Ukraine is very favourable for Western elites – they will use it to prolong the emergency state (justified before by the COVID-19 pandemic, which suddenly disappeared). The war propaganda and the rise of militaristic aspirations will be used to postpone the inevitable collapse of global capitalism.

The West is falling into totalitarian and fascist realities, standing against the traditional values of Slavic and Eurasian solidarity. The new Iron Curtain and the Western hunts for the pro-Russian witches will become permanent phenomena.

Disproof

Pro-Kremlin disinformation claim about the war in Ukraine and the Russian invasion of Ukraine unleashed on February 24, 2022.

In 2021, Russia started a large-scale military build-up near the border with eastern Ukraine, generating great concern in Ukraine, Europe and across the world.

On 21 February 2022, after weeks of extreme tensions, President Vladimir Putin decided to recognise the non-government controlled areas of the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts (administrative regions) in Ukraine as independent entities and to send Russian troops into these areas. This followed a positive vote by the Russian State Duma (the lower house of the Russian parliament) on 15 February.

On 24 February 2022, Russia launched an invasion of Ukraine.

The EU condemned in the strongest possible terms Russia's unprovoked and unjustified military aggression against Ukraine and imposed the toughest restrictive measures on Russia. Read more about the EU response and support for Ukraine.

Disinfo: Ukraine has a solution to recognising Crimea, DNR, and LNR

Ukraine has a possible solution to the issue of recognising the territories of Crimea and the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics (DNR and LNR), Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told ABC on Tuesday. “This is another ultimatum and we are not prepared for ultimatums. But we have the possible solution for these [..] key items,” Zelenskyy said, responding to a question of whether Kiev continues to reject Moscow’s demands - recognition of Crimea, the DPR and the LPR, as well as Ukraine’s refusal to join NATO.

Disproof

This is a disinformation narrative from pro-Kremlin narratives alleging that Ukraine is ready to recognise Crimea as a part of Russia and to acknowledge the two non-government-controlled regions in Eastern Ukraine as independent states.

In reality, this quotation is incorrect. The correct quotation in President Zelenskyy’s interview for ABC is as follows: “This is another ultimatum and we are not prepared for ultimatums. What needs to be done is for President Putin to start talking, start the dialogue instead of living in the informational bubble without oxygen,” President Zelenskyy said in the context of the current Ukrainian-Russian talks.

Disinfo: Ukraine and US violated the Biological Weapons Convention

Ukraine and the United States violated the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention by developing biological weapons components w in Ukrainian biolaboratories located in close proximity to Russia.

On 24 February, Russia received documentation from employees of Ukrainian biolaboratories on the emergency destruction of especially dangerous pathogens of plague, anthrax, tularemia, cholera and other deadly diseases. These documents confirm that Ukraine was developing biological weapons in the immediate vicinity of Russia.

The US government tried to delete all information about these as soon as possible because it proves that the US founded 11 biological laboratories in Ukraine. Over the past 10 years, the US has set up several biological laboratories in Ukraine to study the DNA of the Slavs in order to create biological weapons against them.

Disproof

Two of the various pro-Kremlin conspiracy narratives aimed at justification of the Russia's invasion of Ukraine, called in Russia "a limited special operation".

The head of the IAEA, Rafael Grossi, said that there was no objective information confirming Russia's accusations against Ukraine about alleged attempts to develop nuclear weapons."This issue is very clear to us; we do not have any information that would cast doubt on Ukraine's compliance with nonproliferation obligations," he said at a press conference at the IAEA headquarters on Friday, Interfax reports.

Disinfo: A NATO-Labelled Laptop used by the Neo-Nazis proves that Ukraine was about to invade Donbas and Crimea

A laptop with intelligence and NATO markings was found at the Right Sector’s headquarters.

The invasion was planned from land and sea. According to our intelligence and the testimony of Ukrainian captives, the offensive operation was to begin on 8 March this year. The facts indicate that a simultaneous invasion of both the territory of the Donbas Republics and the Russian Federation – Crimea – was planned.

Disproof

Recurrent pro-Kremlin disinformation that Ukraine was planning to attack Russia to justify its aggression, invation and war in Ukraine.

This narrative is part of the support campaign of Russian aggression against Ukraine, which started on 24 February 2022. Leaders of the European Union recognised that Moscow's actions should be evaluated as “acts of violence and the violation of international law”.
