DISINFO: Ukraine is a terrorist state

SUMMARY

By the voice of its foreign affairs minister, Dmytro Kuleba, Ukraine recognized that its regime uses terrorism. The prankers Vladimir Kuznetsov (Vovan) et Alexeï Stoliarov (Lexus) obtained this declaration through a Zoom meeting recently.

RESPONSE

Pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative aiming to discredit Ukraine and justify the criminal invasion of the country, as well as and the use of terrorism by Russia that lead to a PACE resolution on 13 October 2022.

The definition of terrorism is the use of violence to create a state of terror in the population to achieve a political goal. Britannica encyclopedia defines it as follows: Terrorism, the calculated use of violence to create a general climate of fear in a population and thereby to bring about a particular political objective.

The declaration of Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, “it's us” is not clear, since it is a fragment of a private conversation with prankers who used an identity usurpation to obtain this fragment. Though, if it refers to the explosions that targeted military base, airfields, storage facilities of fuel and ammunition used in the illegal war against Ukraine, or ways of communications that are used for the purpose of this invasion, those targets are legitime military targets to defend the country and it doesn’t create any terror state in the Russian population, it only hinders the military efforts against Ukraine.

On the opposite, the use of terrorism has been documented in Russia and on 13 October 2022 the PACE recognized the Russian regime as terrorist.

The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe adopted a resolution in which it recognized the Russian regime as a terrorist. People's deputy of Ukraine Oleksiy Goncharenko reported this in Telegram. 99 delegates voted "for" and one abstained.
