DISINFO: Russia alone won against NATO in Ukraine
SUMMARY
Russia alone fought against the NATO block last year. Ukraine and its allies are losing this fight. In this situation, the US is thinking about the deployment of NATO forces in Ukraine. It is part of Washington’s plan to create a unipolar World without governments it did not like. For this purpose, the US is ready to drown Europe in blood.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative claiming that the US is behind the war in Ukraine and that other actors, such as NATO or Europe, are only the puppets of Washington.
The US or NATO are not a part of the war in Ukraine. Kyiv is not fighting on behalf of any foreign government or organisation. It is acting in self defence against the Russian invasion as enshrined in the UN Charter Article 51. Ukraine is a sovereign and independent state with a democratically-elected president and parliament. Ukraine's sovereignty has been violated only as a result of continuous acts of aggression by the Russian armed forces since 2014, culminating with a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine starting on 24 February 2022.
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. There are no NATO troops on the frontline in Ukraine.
NATO is a collective defence alliance whose membership is voluntary, and where decisions are adopted through consultation and consensus.
Russia also has not won the war in Ukraine. The Institute for the Study of War stated that “the Russian winter [2022-2023] offensive has failed to achieve the Kremlin’s goals of seizing the Donetsk and Luhansk oblast administrative borders by March 31.”
