Propagandists are actively spreading information in pro-Russian media and Telegram channels claiming that US President Joe Biden recently admitted to a nuclear provocation against Russia. However, these statements are a distortion of Biden's words.

Experts from the Center for Strategic Communications and Information Security have pointed out this manipulation. In reality, the US president stated that Putin’s aggression against Ukraine has become a strategic defeat for Russia, which is now weaker than before the war. Biden emphasized that Russia has not achieved its goals in this war, as Ukraine remains independent, and the international community has united to support it. In his speech, Biden highlighted two main objectives: to unite an international coalition to defend Ukraine and to prevent war between nuclear powers. He stressed that these goals have been achieved, underlining that the threat of nuclear conflict is provoked by Russia's aggressive policies, not by US support for Ukraine.

Kremlin disinformation in this case is aimed at distorting reality and creating the illusion of Western aggression, diverting attention from Russia’s provocative actions.
