The Center for Countering Disinformation warns that former CIA officer Ray McGovern is spreading one of the most popular theses of russian propaganda and accusing the United States of waging war against Ukraine.
This was reported by the CCD press service.
For the past three months, McGovern has been actively interviewing English-language media outlets and promoting Kremlin narratives about "the ambiguity of russia's responsibility for what is happening in Ukraine."
Former CIA officer notes that "NATO has promised not to expand to the east, and therefore no one should unilaterally condemn putin for what he did."
McGovern's general conclusion is that the United States is to blame for the russian-Ukrainian war because the United States "provoked putin." to transfer responsibility for crimes committed in Ukraine to other countries," the CCD stressed.
We will remind, earlier also it was reported that the colonel of the USA army, the former senator Richard Black promotes the Kremlin narrative about inevitable victory of russia.
Now the russian information space is also actively discussing the topic that the West has allegedly "almost exhausted the arsenal of sanctions." In particular, it was argued that the sanctions allegedly did not have the effect that the West had hoped for, and that a full embargo on russian energy could not be imposed, "because some Western countries are critically dependent on russian energy."
