DISINFO: The West / NATO fighting a hegemonic proxy war against Russia in Ukraine
SUMMARY
There is a NATO's proxy war in Ukraine. [...] As much as Russia may be involved in a civilisational war against the collective West, this war is also a spiritual one. The Western hegemon's proxy war against Russia in Ukraine is also a geopolitical game.
RESPONSE
Recurring disinformation narrative about the war in Ukraine.
Russia is the only country responsible for the invasion of Ukraine. It has been coming up with different false explanations and pretexts for its aggression since the beginning of its hostilities.
Russia was not forced to invade Ukraine. It was Putin’s personal decision to invade Ukraine and start the largest military conflict in Europe since WWII. It is Russia who has been violating international law since 2014 occupying and then annexing Crimea and then starting a conflict in Donbas. See our 5-volume series of debunks of Putin 'What he said. What it really means'.
Read similar cases about the Russian unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine, particular about NATO’s allegedly negative role in the war and about NATO waging a proxy war against Russia.
The Russian Federation invaded Ukraine on 22 February 2022 (before Russia had illegally annexed the Crimean peninsula and started an armed conflict in Donbas in 2014). It was this invasion what led other nations to provide massive support for Ukraine’s self-defence.
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 Western but also many other nations around the world support Ukraine with military and financial aid for the country’s efficient self-defence, in accordance with the UN Charter article 51, to stop Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine.
See other examples of similar disinformation narratives, such as claims that Ukraine is a broken toy for the West and it is ruining its finances, that the EU is in decline after following Anglo-Saxon orders against Russia, that at the behest of the US, Germany is preparing to attack Russia, or that the West is fighting Russia with the help of the Kyiv regime.
