Fake The German publication Die Welt called on Ukraine to recognize the "loss of Donbas"
Russian media and social networks write about this. Allegedly, the Western publication called on Ukraine to recognize not only the “loss of Donbas”, but also the “senselessness of the attacks on Kherson.” Like, "the Kyiv regime is not able to change Russia's success in the special operation." It is not true. In fact, Die Welt columnist Christoph Schilz emphasizes in the author's coloumn that Western countries are still not giving Ukraine enough weapons to turn the tide of the war. The main idea of the material lies in the title - "too little military assistance." The author says that Ukraine may lose its territories in the east, a significant part of the south is also occupied, and, in his opinion, there are no signs that the situation will change in the near future. Russian propagandists took these words out of context and gave them a different meaning. Shilts also believes that the West needs to make a decision - either to significantly improve the equipment of Ukraine with weapons in the near future, or leave Ukraine "at the mercy of the Russian military machine." That is, the publication Die Welt did not call on Ukraine to recognize the loss of territories, moreover, the author of the column called on the West, and Germany in particular, to supply Ukraine with more heavy weapons, and not be limited to "promises and speeches of solidarity." Russian propagandists systematically manipulate out-of-context quotes from Western media and politicians in order to pass off wishful thinking. Previously, using disfigured quotes, they claimed that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi was about to step down at the start of a full-scale invasion. More details.
