“The Russian disinformation machine believes that by repeating absurd lies, the reality will change, and they will rewrite history,” reads the statement released by the US Embassy in Georgia.
The embassy says as much as the independence of Georgia and Ukraine might annoy Russia, the United States will not turn its back on its partners.
“The Russian disinformation machine believes that by repeating absurd lies, the reality will change, and they will rewrite history.
The facts, however, are such:
1991 Russia invades Georgia
2008 Russia invades Georgia
2014 Russia invades Ukraine
2022 Russia invades Ukraine
“Russia blames everyone but itself for these and other hostilities. If we believe them, Ukraine itself, NATO, the United States, and however surprising it might be – Jewish Nazis started the war in Ukraine.
“With the collaborative support from the West, Georgia and Ukraine stand, maintaining their sovereignty and independence. As much as the independence of these countries might annoy Russia, the United States will not turn its back on its partners.
“The west is more united than ever”, reads the statement.
