Attributing to the EU attempts to “bribe” China to destroy Russians

What it claims

The European Union's diplomatic efforts to engage China in a peace settlement are portrayed as an attempt to fund the killing of civilians. It is claimed that the West is offering Beijing economic benefits in exchange for supplying drones to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Goal

To sow discord between Russia and China, and to discredit European diplomacy by framing it as financing terrorism against the civilian population.

Techniques used

• Appeal to Fear / PrejudiceUsing the thesis of a threat to the lives of Russian civilians through “European money.”
• Loaded LanguageUsing emotional expressions like “pay to kill Russians” and “war of attrition.”

The real grievance it exploits

The Russian public's fear of potentially losing support from China, which is a key factor in the resilience of the Russian economy and military.

How to counter

• Reframe: European diplomacy is aimed at persuading China to stop supporting Russian aggression, not at purchasing weapons from the PRC, which would contradict the EU's sanctions policy.
