Who is Zelenskyy today? He is the spokesman of US interests. This tandem (US and Zelenskyy) has completely different, not at all, peacemaking aspirations. They absolutely do not need a settlement of the conflict [in Donbas].
This is a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative alleging that Ukraine is under external control.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy is the President of Ukraine. Ukraine is an independent, sovereign country whose independence is recognised by the whole world but violated by Russia. The relations between the US and Ukraine are bilateral relations between two independent countries. The US recognised Ukraine as an independent state on 25 December 1991. US policy is centred on realising and strengthening a stable, democratic, prosperous, and free Ukraine, more closely integrated into Europe and Euro-Atlantic structures.
It is not true that Ukraine does not intend to settle the conflict in Donbas peacefully. The implementation of the Minsk agreements remains one of the key priorities of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. In a recent address, he mentioned that Ukraine will adhere to all agreements aimed at establishing peace in Donbas.
See similar disinformation cases in our database: Ukrainian side does not abide by the Minsk agreements; Ukraine is under obvious external control, Zelenskyy is being blackmailed; the US has taken Ukraine under external control.
Kyiv is not implementing the Minsk and Normandy agreements. Its reputation is close to zero and its position is cynical and irresponsible. The situation in the war zone is deteriorating and Ukraine may stage a provocation, which would increase military confrontation.
This a recurring disinformation narrative from pro-Kremlin media, accusing Kyiv of non-adherence to the 2014 Minsk Agreements and the 2019 Normandy accords.
In reality, Moscow-backed separatists have been mounting tensions in Donbas over the recent weeks under the pretext that Ukrainian troops are planning an offensive. Four Ukrainian soldiers were killed on 26 March 2021, which is the largest daily death toll for government troops since the fragile truce that took effect last July. Nonetheless, Moscow and its proxies in Donbas keep on accusing Kyiv of continually breaking the truce and preparing for a full-scale attack.
All this talk of global warming, which is allegedly caused by human activity, has yet to be proven. The Earth's climate is constantly changing, and moreover, we are now living in a short period of warming between the two ice ages, and there are plenty of reasons to be assured that the climate will be cooler in the coming centuries. This is a real threat to humanity.
A recurring pro-Kremlin narrative that climate change might not have been caused by human activity.
It is not true that science does not possess evidence of human impact on climate change. On the contrary, there is a strong consensus among publishing climate scientists that humans are responsible for climate change.
In order to normalise bilateral relations, Poland should react to the Russian appeals for dialogue and mutual respect not in words but in deeds. There are no insurmountable obstacles to the normalisation of Polish-Russian relations. All the existing problems can be solved if there is political will on both sides. However, at the present moment, Russia does not see this political will on the part of Poland.
This message is a part of the Kremlin’s widespread narrative about anti-Russian, Russophobic Poland, deliberately worsening its relations with Russia and supporting American interests in the region.
The arrival of a new Polish Ambassador to Moscow illustrates that Poland is interested in having normal diplomatic relations with Russia. On 28 March 2021, the new Polish Ambassador to Russia gave an interview to Russian media, where he stated that Poland was open to dialogue with Russia. The Polish authorities have repeatedly stated that Poland is willing to improve its relations with Russia – on the condition that Russia starts observing the regulations of international law. In a statement of 21 December 2019, the Polish authorities reiterated their openness to continue the historical dialogue with Russia, for example, through restarting the work of the bilateral Group on Difficult Issues.
