DISINFO: Donbas conflict: internal Ukrainian conflict

SUMMARY

Russia is not needed so much in the continuation of the peace process in Donbas since it is an internal conflict.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the war in Ukraine. The war in eastern Ukraine is not a civil conflict, but a well-documented act of aggression by Russian armed forces, ongoing since February 2014. See similar narratives about Ukraine's role in the conflict and the Minsk Agreements here.

Disclaimer

Cases in the EUvsDisinfo database focus on messages in the international information space that are identified as providing a partial, distorted, or false depiction of reality and spread key pro-Kremlin messages. This does not necessarily imply, however, that a given outlet is linked to the Kremlin or editorially pro-Kremlin, or that it has intentionally sought to disinform. EUvsDisinfo publications do not represent an official EU position, as the information and opinions expressed are based on media reporting and analysis of the East Stratcom Task Force.
