DISINFO: Western powers cultivate futile dreams of invading Russia
SUMMARY
Western powers cultivate futile dreams of invading Russia.
RESPONSE
This is a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the West allegedly pursuing a belligerent and hostile agenda against Russia.
The claim that Western powers “dream of invading Russia” is false. Since the illegal annexation of Crimea in 2014, the US, NATO and the EU have adopted a firm line to counter Russia’s aggressive policies, such as election interference, cyber-attacks, disinformation and the ongoing war in Ukraine. At the same time, the West is trying to keep channels of communications and cooperation open with Russia. The new US administration has signaled a willingness to extend the New START Treaty. NATO's approach to Russia is defence and dialogue. More about NATO can be read here and its relations with Russia here.
Read similar cases claiming that in the next few years the US plans to destroy Russia, that NATO’s true mission is to destroy Russia, and that the West is considering a military attack against Russia despite Russia’s nuclear capabilities.
