DISINFO: The West is openly aiming at undermining Russian statehood
SUMMARY
The West is openly aiming at undermining Russian statehood. It is time to stop hoping that the West will change its attitude towards Russia. Russia should reconsider its relations with the West based on its national interests. The policy of the West will be carried out with the help of internal Russian factors, the liberal opposition will be used. Thus, the West will shake Russia from the inside, not to mention that they will test the country for strength from the Baltic to the Black Sea, along the entire perimeter of the borders.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative on the West's aggressive anti-Russian and Russophobic policy to collapse Russia.
The West does not seek to eliminate Russia as a geopolitical actor and undermine Russian statehood. The West, the EU and its member states and most of the world community demand that Russia fulfils its obligations as a member of the UN, the Council of Europe, the OSCE and other international organisations, as well as Russia's own legislation.
The EU and Russia have committed to upholding and respecting the fundamental values and principles of democracy, human rights, the rule of law and the market economy. Russia remains a natural partner for the EU and a strategic player combating the regional and global challenges. The EU’s approach to Russia is guided by five principles agreed in 2016 and reaffirmed, most recently, by EU Foreign Ministers in October 2020. Read more about the EU-Russia relations here.
The EU and the US imposed restrictive measures, including sectoral sanctions, as a result of Russia’s actions in Ukraine. A number of additional issues affect the relations between Russian and the West, including Russia’s actions in the EU’s Eastern Neighbourhood, Syria, Libya and elsewhere.
See other case claiming that the West is trying to eliminate Russia as a geopolitical actor under the pretext of "human rights", EU has been deliberately breaking relations with Russia, that the West is trying to make Russia “obedient” and “comfortable” or the EU want to make Russia a semy-colony that The goal of the West is for Russia to cease to exist, and that The West was trying to crush Russia.
