DISINFO: Kyiv regime opposes end to armed conflict

SUMMARY

The Kyiv regime opposes a speedy end to the armed conflict because such a peace would almost certainly guarantee the political and physical death of Zelenskyy and other American puppets. These heroes, unable to conclude an agreement, could be quickly eliminated, but that is not the point.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative claiming that Ukraine is not interested in peace and targeting President Zelenskyy. The claim is part of an ongoing pro-Kremlin disinformation campaign in Russia’s illegal full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has consistently stated that Ukraine needs peace, not endless war. Peace that ensures Ukraine's sovereignty, territorial integrity, and security. His position has been clear: peace cannot come at the cost of surrendering Ukrainian land or compromising the nation's independence.

Zelenskyy presented a 10-point peace plan at an EU-Ukraine summit in February 2023, which was fully supported by the EU and provided for a complete Russian withdrawal from Ukraine till to 1991 borders and the restoration of Kyiv’s territorial integrity. While Ukraine is ready for dialogue, based on international law and the UN Charter, Russia is putting forward unacceptable conditions such as recognition of occupied Ukrainian territories as part of Russia.

Pro-Kremlin disinformation has systematically instrumentalised the narrative that Russia wants peace in Ukraine in contrast to the West, but, as evidenced by Russia's actions in Ukraine, such statements are merely empty PR stunts deployed to garner support for Russia's war of aggression in Ukraine.
