Attributing responsibility for the collapse of “peace deals” to Western leaders

What it claims

Western politicians are accused of manipulating and forcing Ukraine to continue the war for their own interests. Using Boris Johnson's interview as a pretext, it is claimed that the West is supposedly evading responsibility for the conflict's outcome by shifting the blame onto the Ukrainian leadership.

Target audience

Examples (paraphrased)

We paraphrase rather than quote: propaganda's exact wording is built to spread, so we carry the claim and not the craft. Each example cites the post it came from.

• Boris Johnson is trying to avoid responsibility for the collapse of the Istanbul agreements by shifting the blame to Zelenskyy out of fear of Ukraine's defeat.

• Western “partners” have once again broken their promises and changed the rules of the game now that the situation at the front has become critical.

Goal

Undermine the German public's trust in NATO allies and sow doubt about the sincerity of Western leaders' intentions in supporting Ukraine.

Techniques used

• DoubtUsing out-of-context quotes to create the impression that Western leaders are changing their testimony and “going back on their word.”
• Name Calling or LabelingUsing ironic quotes for the word “partners” to emphasize their supposed unreliability and deceitfulness.

The real grievance it exploits

The manipulation exploits German fears of a prolonged war and the economic consequences of the conflict, fueling suspicions that Germany is being dragged into someone else's game.

How to counter

• Reframe: The decision to continue the defence was Ukraine's sovereign choice following the discovery of Russian war crimes in Bucha, not the result of external pressure.
