Description of the fake LIE

Ukraine crossed out the possibility of peace negotiations with Russia with its offense in the Kursk oblast. This quote by the British analyst Alexander Mercouris is spread by pro-Kremlin propagandists.

Refutation TRUTH

Such statements are a poor attempt by Russian propaganda to pass off the Kremlin’s talking head statement as a “warning from the West.”

Russia is trying to expose Ukraine’s actions as “provocative” and “terroristic”, which will allegedly result in a military defeat for Ukraine and a loss of the Western support for Kyiv.

In fact, there is a clear understanding in the West that Ukraine acts within the limits of necessity, based on defence needs:
Decisions about how Ukraine conducts its military operations are decisions made by Ukraine,” said U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller.

Alexander Mercouris is a typical pro-Kremlin mouthpiece who spreads the Kremlin’s narratives, “whitewashes” Russia’s crimes in Ukraine, and legitimises hostile narratives in the West.
