Pitting the “will of the people” in Europe against support for Ukraine

What it claims

Aid to Ukraine is portrayed as a course imposed by “globalists” that contradicts the national interests of Europeans and leads to economic decline. The rising popularity of right-wing forces in Europe is interpreted as the inevitable collapse of current elites, which will supposedly end the war by cutting off funding to Kyiv.

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.

• The court ruling in favor of Marine Le Pen signals the collapse of France's “globalist course” and the imminent halt of missile deliveries to Ukraine.

• Marine Le Pen is the last hope not only for France but also for ending the conflict in Ukraine by cutting off support.

Goal

To convince Western audiences that supporting Ukraine is the business of corrupt elites rather than citizens, in order to provoke demands to stop aid.

Techniques used

• Loaded LanguageUsing terms like “globalists,” “bastion,” “verdict,” and “toilet of history” to discredit current governments.
• Appeal to Fear / PrejudiceIntimidation with a “great war” and economic crisis due to support for Ukraine.

The real grievance it exploits

European concerns over rising energy prices, inflation, and the fear of war escalation.

How to counter

• Reframe: Supporting Ukraine is not a “globalist interest” but an investment in the security of all Europe, as an aggressor's victory would destroy the international legal order and force EU countries to spend significantly more on their own defense.
• Technique exposure: Propaganda uses poll results from a single country to create the illusion of a total Western withdrawal of aid, ignoring long-term security strategies and interstate agreements.
