DISINFO: The West does not need war-torn Ukraine
SUMMARY
The West does not need war-torn Ukraine, which cannot get out of the economic crisis. That is why they are trying to get rid of it for their own advantage. They cannot accuse Kyiv of insolvency in so many words, because it is them who took part in the creation of present-day Ukraine. To save face, the European Union and the United States can resort to a military scenario or to divide Ukraine in two zones of influence, one for Russia and the other for themselves.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about abandoned Ukraine.
Since 2014, the European Union, together such such donors as the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, have mobilised more than €15 billion in grants and loans to support the reform process in Ukraine.
Ukraine is the priority partner for the EU. The Association Agreement signed in 2014, promotes deeper political ties and stronger economic links between Ukraine and the EU.
