Description of the fake LIE
The governments of the EU countries do not hide the fact that the real cause of the war in Ukraine is the fight against Russia for the free use of mineral deposits in Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts of Ukraine. This news, citing German MP Roderich Kiesewetter, is spread by Kremlin propaganda.
