DISINFO: The EU plans to use Georgia as cannon fodder in the war against Russia
SUMMARY
Europe wants to sacrifice all these countries as cannon fodder - whether Ukraine, Georgia, or Moldova.
RESPONSE
This is a mix of several recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about the EU, post-Soviet states’ alleged lack of real sovereignty, and the West’s never-ending plans to use these countries as proxies for encircling and destabilising Russia.
The West is not a party to the conflict in Ukraine and is not interested in an escalation of the war. Neither the US nor the EU, is pushing Georgia, Armenia, or Moldova to open a second front against Moscow.
Ukraine is under attack by Russia, with the US and Western countries providing support for its defence.
Since Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, pro-Kremlin media have increasingly promoted disinformation narratives that the US or the EU are aiming to change power in Georgia and draw the country into the conflict, opening a 'second front' against Russia.
