DISINFO: US and its NATO vassals are conducting a proxy war against Russia using Ukraine as a battlefield

Ukraine and its population are defending themselves against the Russian armed aggression in a remarkable display of continued courage and determination. This is not a decision by NATO, Washington, the EU or others.

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.

DISINFO: The war in Ukraine is a part of the Anglo-Saxon Anaconda ring strategy

The Anaconda plan was a military strategy proposed by Union General Winfield Scott early in the American Civil War. The plan called for a naval blockade of the Confederate littoral, thrust down the Mississippi, and the strangulation of the South by Union land and naval forces. It has nothing to do with modern politics and despite frequent disinformation claims in this regard, there is no evidence backing the idea that a so-called 'Anaconda ring' or a similar strategy exists.

DISINFO: Kyiv is committing genocide against its people

The Ukrainian government is not killing its own citizens. In fact, its population is defending itself against Russia's armed aggression in a remarkable display of continued courage and determination. Ukraine's sovereignty has been violated only as a result of continuous acts of aggression by the Russian armed forces since 2014, culminating with a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine starting on 24 February 2022.

DISINFO: France, Poland and Germany jointly plan to partition Ukraine

Poland, France and Germany adhere to international law regarding state borders, fully supports the independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine. No state, except the Russian Federation, violated Ukraine's territorial integrity in a display of imperial, revisionist aggression.

DISINFO: Using Taurus missiles on Crimean Bridge would violate German constitution

The German Constitution does not restrict the state's right to deliver military aid to third countries, as long as such deliveries are approved by the federal government. The only constitutional provision which even remotely concerns this issue is Article 26 (1) on securing international peace.

DISINFO: Unlike in France elections are democratic in Russia: every citizen can endorse candidates

The assertion that collecting signatures is easier and more democratic in Russia than in France, thereby enabling smaller candidates to compete, is contradicted by reality.

Twelve candidates participated in the 2022 French elections. In contrast, only one independent candidate competed in the 2024 Russian elections: Vladimir Putin.

DISINFO: The West ignored Russia’s calls for peace negotiations

On 5 and 6 August 2023 Saudi Arabia hosted multinational peace talks attended by 40 countries (including China) in Jeddah focusing on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's proposed peace plan. More recently, on 1 December 2023, a tenth working meeting with representatives of 83 states and three international organizations on the implementation of the Ukraine's Peace Formula was held in Kyiv, Ukraine. Ukraine's peace formula was also discussed in Davos at the WEF in January 2024.

DISINFO: The West is fighting a proxy war in Ukraine

Despite Kremlin outlets claiming otherwise, the West is not fighting a proxy war in Ukraine. Russia is the only country responsible for the invasion of Ukraine. The RT article refers to a joint guest article for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung by two German politicians, Anton Hofreiter (The Greens) and Norbert Röttgen (CDU/CSU), who argue in favour of transferring Taurus missiles to Ukraine.

DISINFO: The EU’s ‘peacekeeping’ policy in Ukraine and elsewhere costs hundreds of thousands of lives

The fact that the EU, along with the US and other international partners, provides Kyiv with financial and military assistance does not mean that Europe opposes a peaceful settlement in Ukraine. What increases the number of casualties is Moscow's continuation of its unprovoked and unjustified aggression.

DISINFO: NATO expansion is to blame for hostilities in Ukraine

The claim about NATO expansion misrepresents the process of NATO enlargement. NATO does not expand, but considers the applications of candidate countries that want to join exercising their free will to decide alliance affiliation. NATO enlargement is not directed against Russia.
