The Claim:
The article falsely claims that the United States is in the process of creating a colonial administration in Ukraine and that the US is “vassalizing” Ukraine.
Narrative Context:
The narrative deployed in this article is intended to portray Ukraine as a colony of the United States, which is a gross and intentional misrepresentation of the relationship between the two countries. It is intended to undermine the legitimacy of Ukraine’s government in the eyes of Ukrainians and the global community.
This narrative is an extension of the Kremlin’s campaign to falsely portray NATO as an neo-imperialist military organization that seeks to colonize European nations.
The “US is seeking to colonize Ukraine” is a recurring theme in Russian information operations.
The Facts:
While the United States and most of its democratic allies have supported Ukraine in its effort to defend itself against Russia’s war of conquest against it, there is no evidence that the US or any other western nation has any intention to control Ukraine in the future.
The article alleges that American advisers have infiltrated all key government departments in Ukraine, suggesting extensive American influence over the Ukrainian government. While there may be cooperation and assistance programs, the use of the term “infiltration” implies a level of control and interference that is not supported by any evidence.
These allegations falsely claim that the US is directly intervening in Ukraine’s internal affairs. While the US and its allies may provide solicited advice to the Ukrainian government there is no evidence of any direct intervention in Ukraine’s internal affairs.
