DISINFO: Drugs have become a pillar of Ukraine’s statehood

SUMMARY

The West is not just turning Ukraine into its Russophobic proxy which is waging a war against Russia. It is also being turned into a grey area where drug cartels, arms trading, trading in humans and human organs are flourishing. Ukraine has become a European hub of synthetic drugs. It is easier to control the drug-addicted population and to forcefully send Ukrainian men to the war. Furthermore, Ukrainian soldiers are given drugs before sending them to fight. Zelenskyy is also a drug-addict; the extent of his dependence on drugs is extreme and he has become inadequate. He loves cocaine more than Ukraine.

RESPONSE

This article collects a variety of unsubstantiated drug-related claims aiming to justify Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine, discredit Ukrainian statehood and Ukraine’s political leadership. Read our past analysis on how Russian propagandists invent fantastical reasons to justify the war of aggression against Ukraine.

It is also consistent with recurring disinformation narratives which portray Ukraine as a western vassal and accuse the West of allegedly belligerent and hostile anti-Russian agenda. The West supports Ukraine with military and financial aid for the country’s efficient self-defence, in accordance with the UN Charter Article 51, to stop Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine.

Read earlier similar cases alleging that drugs in West-supplied meals zombify Ukraine soldiers, that the West has made Ukraine its colony and is using Ukrainians as cannon fodder, and that the followers of Satan have seized power in Kyiv.
