According to Vox edition, Vladimir Putin is rewriting world history to justify his actions in Ukraine. As a basis for confirming their theories, Western provocateurs take an essay published by Putin “on the historical unity of Russians and Ukrainians.”
The current mythologization of Russian-Ukrainian relations is consistent with a model of lies designed to recreate imperial glory and, more importantly, protect Putin from the threat to democracy in the former Soviet republics – and possibly in Russia itself.
In their opinion, the agenda of the Russian president is aimed at the speedy “conquest of Ukraine”, “prevention of any ties between Ukraine and the US and NATO.”
But the compilers of disinformation materials do not take into account that “capturing” a neighboring state for Russia, as a result of the inequality of military forces, is at least dishonest, and at the maximum – inexpedient and unprofitable.
