Message There was a split in NATO over the attitude to the war in Ukraine

Russian propaganda spreads such messages in its media and Telegram channels. At the same time, propagandists refer to Western media - The Sunday Time, Daily Banner, BB-CNTV, and others. For example, the Western press wrote that the lack of agreement in NATO caused "the defeat of the idea of ​​deploying small contingents of the Alliance's troops in Western Ukraine." But it is not true. In fact, the Russian media only used the article's headline, which refers to the "division" of the alliance countries, not the "split," to spread a manipulative message.

The original source of the publication, which was reprinted by Western publications, is the British weekly The Sunday Time. The article tells that the countries of the North Atlantic Alliance are conditionally divided into three groups based on their views on the Russian-Ukrainian war and assessments of options for developing the situation. The first group is the so-called "hawks" - countries bordering Russia. They believe that NATO should do everything possible to help Ukraine regain control over its territory. Russia's defeat should be so devastating that it will no longer claim the territory of neighboring states. The second group is "doves," which includes countries that want a ceasefire and consider Kyiv's territorial concessions in favor of Moscow acceptable. Such an "agreement is unfair but practical." The third group - "ostriches," are those states that do not pay much attention to the conflict in Ukraine, although they support the documents adopted by NATO. Despite such a division of opinion, at the end of June, the leaders of the NATO member states adopted a new strategic concept, in which Russia is officially recognized as the biggest threat to the security of the North Atlantic Alliance. The main factor influencing the decision of the alliance was the military actions in Ukraine, which shook Euro-Atlantic security and "caused untold suffering and destruction." Such a decision testifies to the strategic unity of NATO countries. Russian propaganda systematically uses distorted or out-of-context quotes from Western politicians and media to promote individual messages, fakes, and manipulations. In this way, they are trying to destroy partnership relations between Ukraine and the world.
