DISINFO: EU knows Russia is winning its special operation
SUMMARY
A Russian military victory in Ukraine is unavoidable because of its superiority. This conflict was long desired and prepared by Europe, NATO and the US. Now they realise that they are losing their own war, but they are trapped, they cannot recognise their defeat. The EU is controlled by the US and its propaganda, which prevents the European public from anticipating a clear Russian victory.
RESPONSE
Conspiracy theory about the EU being a US puppet, whose population is blinded by propaganda to Russia's alleged military and economic success.
On 24 February 2022, Russia launched an unprovoked full-scale war of aggression against its peaceful neighbour Ukraine. It was Putin’s personal decision to invade Ukraine and start the largest military conflict in Europe since WWII. The Russian plans for the invasion were openly laid out in an article titled "What Russia should do with Ukraine” in April 2022.
Pro-Kremlin media have repeatedly disseminated stories claiming the US planned Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent energy crisis, citing a fabricated document allegedly produced by the RAND Corporation and made public via a leak – a conspiracy previously debunked by StopFake and Myth Detector. See our earlier disinformation case dedicated to this story.
The US, the EU and NATO condemn in the strongest possible terms Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which is entirely unjustified and unprovoked. Not only Western but also many other nations around the world support 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. The EU has repeatedly pledged to support Ukraine's efforts for as long as it takes.
Europeans continue to be in favour of supporting Ukraine and Ukrainians. 86% approve of the EU continuing to provide humanitarian support to the people affected by the war, 77% accept welcoming in the EU people fleeing the war, 71% back imposing economic sanctions against Russia.
