Recurring Pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives aimed to demonstrate that Ukraine's biggest supporters have malicious intent towards Ukraine, and only provide assistance in order to exploit it. There has been no credible information or official announcements to support such claim or the UK's intentions to seek territorial gains in Ukraine.
Pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative framing the exposition of Russian atrocities as false. The 2024 Oscar wining documentary film '20 days in Mariupol' was shot in the city of that name during the early days of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February-March 2022, and everything that it shows was filmed first-hand by Ukrainian video journalist Mstyslav Chernov and his team, who barely managed to escape from the city. Many of the war crimes documented by Chernov have been confirmed by other sources.
There is no evidence backing the allegation, which has been denied by the Ukrainian State Border Guard Service and refuted by fact-checking organisations. The image used to illustrate this Telegram post, supposedly taken from Ukraine's 24 Kanal website, is a forgery as this outlet never published any story under this headline.
There are no Nazis in the Ukrainian government. Accusations of Nazism are one of the most common pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives aimed at undermining the statehood of Ukraine. The narrative of alleged Nazism in Ukraine has been actively used in Russian disinformation since the 2014 Euromaidan protests to discredit Kyiv's shift toward Euro-Atlantic policy.
The White House called Russian allegations "categorically false and nothing more than propaganda."
Russia has for several years refused to formally invite OSCE election observers to monitor elections within its territory. The most recent instance when the OSCE observed elections in Russia was in 2018.
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.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy presented a 10-point peace plan at a EU-Ukraine summit in February 2023. The EU unequivocally supported Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's peace formula. It is up to Ukraine to decide when it will hold talks with Russia.
Russia does not target only military targets in Ukraine. War crimes against civilian individuals and infrastructures have been extensively documented. Since December 2022, the Kremlin even recognized massive missile and drone strikes against civilian infrastructures: "yes, we are doing it".
Analysts and researchers have pointed out that anti-Western conspiracy theories about all-powerful secret elites have been used as a political tool used by the Kremlin to strengthen the domestic stability of the current regime and expand its influence abroad by emphasising Russia's moral superiority.
Ukraine is a well-defined nation-state with a long history and its own literature and identity, despite foreign rule for long periods of time. Ukrainians and Russians belong to the same ethnolinguistic group - the Slavs - but that alone does not preclude Ukraine's distinctness as nation.
