DISINFO: The West imposes Russophobic policies on Ukraine
SUMMARY
Ukraine’s refusal to be controlled by other countries and return to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s promises about peace might lead Kyiv to a constructive dialogue within the framework of the Minsk agreements. It is no secret that the Ukrainian government is dependent in its decisions on the United States and Western partners, whose actions are aimed at strengthening the Russophobic policy and lobbying the interests of some individuals.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about Russophobia and Ukrainian statehood.
Ukraine is a sovereign state that determines its own domestic and foreign policies. Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity are violated by Russia's acts of armed aggression and continuing illegal annexation of Crimea.
