British Foreign Secretary accuses Russia of disinformation aimed at justifying attack on Ukraine
British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss believes that Russia launched a disinformation campaign to justify the attack on Ukraine. Truss wrote about this on Twitter.
“Russia is waging a disinformation campaign intended to destabilise and justify an invasion of its sovereign neighbour Ukraine,” Truss said.
In December, British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said that the invasion of Ukraine would be a strategic mistake of the Russian Federation.

Bogdan Boutkevitch: Ok, you ask me “How can this be happening?” Well, it happens because Donbass, in general, is not simply a region in a very depressed condition, it has got a whole number of problems, the biggest of which is that it is severely overpopulated with people nobody has any use for. Trust me I know perfectly well what I am saying.
If we take, for example, just the Donetsk oblast, there are approximately 4 million inhabitants, at least 1.5 million of which are superfluous. That’s what I mean: we don’t need to [try to] “understand” Donbass, we need to understand Ukrainian national interests.
Donbass must be exploited as a resource, which it is. I don’t claim to have a quick solution recipe, but the most important thing that must be done – no matter how cruel it may sound – is that there is a certain category of people that must be exterminated.”
