DISINFO: Ukraine ceased to exist as a state

SUMMARY

Ukraine simply ceased to exist as a state. This began long before the coup, when government posts were turned into a feeding trough, and the state into a single corruption mechanism, where everyone steals from everyone.

RESPONSE

Recurrent pro-Kremlin propaganda narrative undermining the Ukrainian statehood. See more examples of disinformation narratives claiming that there is no Ukraine, that Ukrainians are Russians, not Ukrainians, or that a myth about Ukraine as a separate nation was created in the Soviet Union.
