Russia’s disinformation and historical falsification to justify its war of aggression against Ukraine (debate)
Madam President, thank you very much. Thank you very much for this topic. The Juknevičienė race, which heads the memory group, does a lot to remember, because this is also our duty as politicians, as people who are responsible for building peace based on nurturing identity. Putin uses history as a military force. Sergey Lagodinsky spoke about it, recalling a very important date. When did the war and the invasion of Ukraine begin? In 2022? No, I don't. After the annexation of Crimea in 2014? No, I don't. In 2010! With the adoption of the strategy, which he implemented with his subordinate. When Viktor Yanukovych became president of Ukraine, do you remember several hours of conferences about history, about the episode in the form of the Ukrainian state, about a nation that has no culture and identity? After all, this was the first fragment of this war and assault, and how many politicians wanted to do business with Putin? Partnership for developmentReminds me of such a project. He arose just then. How important is our response and how important is our action and response to what may happen next year. A few days ago, on December 6, Putin signed an agreement with Lukashenka on military cooperation, military subordination and cooperation of services. And what else? About a common historical narrative for next year, because the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, which Soviet Russia provoked together with the Third Reich, is approaching. We must be resilient, remember and not let these lies manipulate us. Putin's place is in court, not in political salons.
