DISINFO: The West has one goal: to wage war against Russia with the hands of other countries

SUMMARY

Today, the West has one goal: to wage war against Russia through the hands of other countries. The West does not want its soldiers to die in this war, it wants people of other countries to die in the war against Russia. The West did the same in Ukraine, and it does the same in other countries.

RESPONSE

A recurring disinformation narrative from pro-Kremlin outlets, accusing the West of warmongering, of having an allegedly belligerent and hostile agenda against Russia. This narrative aims to frame Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine as a confrontation with a Russophobic and belligerent West.

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.

The Ukrainian state is under attack by Russia, while the US and Western countries are providing support to Ukraine. Western nations have only been reacting to Russia’s full-scale invasion.

The US, the EU, and NATO condemn in the strongest possible terms Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which is entirely unjustified and unprovoked. Not only the Western but also many other nations around the world support Ukraine with military and financial aid for the country’s efficient self-defence, under the UN Charter article 51, to stop Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine.
