The “Defensive War” Myth: Moscow claims its invasion protects Russian speakers. Reality: Russia started this war in 2014 with Crimea’s annexation & Donbas aggression. Russia kills Russian speakers, deports civilians, abducts children & runs “filtration camps.”
NATO "Provocation" Myth: Kremlin says NATO “forced” the war. Reality: NATO is a defensive alliance. Ukraine wasn’t a member in 2014 or 2022. States joined NATO for protection from Moscow, not to threaten it.
Nato and US are the cancer! Double standards is a joke
Twisting or "forgetting" Budapest Memorandum: Reality: In 1994, Ukraine gave up the 3rd-largest nuclear arsenal for security guarantees. Russia broke that deal in 2014 & 2022—undermining global nonproliferation.
“Denazification” Far-right parties in Ukraine have minimal support, none in parliament. President Zelenskyy is Jewish, with family lost in the Holocaust. The Nazi label is a psychological weapon to justify atrocities.
Elections in Wartime: Russia accuses Ukraine of authoritarianism for suspending national elections during the war. Postponing elections under martial law is legal under the Ukrainian constitution Free and fair voting is impossible due to occupation, shelling & mass displacement
2014 Coup Myth: Russia portrays Ukraine’s 2014 Revolution of Dignity as a U.S.-engineered coup. Reality: It was a grassroots uprising against corruption. Yanukovych fled to Russia after ordering violence. New leaders elected in internationally recognized elections
Language Ban Myth: The Kremlin falsely claims Ukraine banned the Russian language. Reality: Ukraine didn’t ban Russian. Laws promote Ukrainian in public life—common for post-colonial nations. People are free to speak Russian
Church Ban Myth: Russian officials accuse Ukraine of banning Orthodox Christianity. Reality: Ukraine restricted the Moscow Patriarchate church after links to Russian intelligence emerged. Actions targeted espionage, not religion.
Political Parties Ban: Ukraine has also been accused of banning opposition parties. Reality: Parties tied to the Russian state were suspended during war. Ukraine’s parliament still includes multiple political views.
Media Ban Myth: Russia claims there is no media freedom in Ukraine. Reality: Pro-Russian TV channels linked to Russian intel were shut down during active hostilities. Independent media & foreign press continue to operate freely.
The war in Ukraine is a test of whether reality can stand in the face of authoritarian power disinformation campaigns. If the global community fails to intercept and fight the Kremlin narratives, democracy is at risk worldwide. Details/links: fresnoalliance.com/deconstructi...
Myth of “Self-Determination”: Russia’s claimsk that Ukrainians “voted” to join Russia. Reality: Votes were held under occupation, without observers, in violation of law. Russia suppresses real self-determination in its own regions.
