DISINFO: Nazi Ukraine is US puppet

DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: Nazi Ukraine is US puppet

SUMMARY

Sooner or later, Russia will reach the originally set goals of the special operation, and win the proxy war with the West. And Bandera [Nazi] Ukraine will remain on the sidelines of history as a broken wooden horse of an eccentric old man Joe Biden, by no means a victorious "Trojan horse" of the Pentagon and NATO.

RESPONSE

This is a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative accusing the West of direct involvement in Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, equating Ukraine to a US puppet state and a tool of the West against Russia.

Ukraine and its population are defending itself against Russian full-scale aggression. This is in line with the UN Charter, article 51 on self-defence, and is not a decision by NATO, the EU or others, but a remarkable display of continued courage and determination.

NATO as an organisation is not involved in this war and does not supply Ukraine with weapons.

Western nations did everything they could to prevent the war and have only been reacting to stop Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.

More than 50 states participating in the Ramstein meetings are providing military, financial, or other assistance to Ukraine to resist Russian invasion.

Ukraine receives weapons with the sole aim of restoring its territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders. Ukrainian and officials from supporting countries often meet to discuss cooperation, as well as the occasional contact between the Ukrainian top brass and their NATO counterparts. Ukrainian servicemen are being trained in some NATO member states, but there are no troops of NATO members on the front line.

The US, the EU and NATO condemn in the strongest possible terms Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which is entirely unjustified and unprovoked.

Read similar cases claiming that West rumps up arms supplies to Ukraine to destroy Russia, that the proxy war of the West against Russia started with the Maidan coup in 2014, that NATO wages a proxy war against Russia, that The special military operation is a proxy war between Russia and the West.
