事实与谎言：俄罗斯炮制关于乌克兰的虚假信息

美国国务院与其他美国政府机构合作，了解到若干俄罗斯军事和情报实体正在从事针对乌克兰的信息对抗。这些活动包括传播虚假信息和宣传，试图将乌克兰和乌克兰政府官员描绘成俄乌关系中的侵略者。这些措施旨在影响西方国家，使它们相信乌克兰的行为可能引发全球冲突，并使俄罗斯公民相信俄罗斯有必要在乌克兰采取军事行动。以下是俄罗斯关于当前危机及其原因的谎言举例以及相关事实。

谎言：乌克兰和乌克兰政府官员是俄乌关系中的侵略者

事实：普京政权的虚假陈述将俄罗斯的侵略归咎于受害者乌克兰。

谎言：西方正在将乌克兰推向冲突。

事实：莫斯科在乌克兰边境集结了超过十万人的兵力，引发了当前的危机，但在边境的乌克兰一侧并没有类似的军事活动。

谎言：俄罗斯部署作战部队仅仅是在自己的领土上调整军队部署。

事实：在未能提供可信说明的前提下，将超过十万人的俄罗斯兵力——包括富有实战经验的作战部队和进攻性武器装备——部署到一个俄罗斯先前入侵并仍然部分占领的国家的边界，这不仅仅是部队轮换。

谎言：美国计划在顿巴斯发动化学武器袭击。

事实：美国和俄罗斯是《化学武器公约》的缔约国。根据该国际协议规定的义务，美国不使用化学武器。然而，俄罗斯政府近年来两次使用化学武器攻击和企图暗杀对手，包括在外国领土上。

谎言：俄罗斯正在捍卫乌克兰的俄罗斯族人。

事实：没有可信的报道提及任何俄罗斯族人或讲俄语的人受到乌克兰政府的威胁。

谎言：自冷战结束以来，北约一直在密谋反对俄罗斯，以武力包围俄罗斯，违背了拒信作出的不扩大承诺，并通过让乌克兰未来加入北约威胁俄罗斯的安全。

事实：北约是一个防御性联盟，其目的是保护其成员国。所有盟国在 2021 年 6 月的布鲁塞尔峰会上重申，“联盟不寻求对抗，不对俄罗斯构成威胁”。

北约没有包围俄罗斯——俄罗斯的陆地边界有两万多公里。

北约从未承诺不接纳新成员。北约的扩大并非针对俄罗斯。

谎言：西方回避外交，直接采取制裁等措施。

事实：美国和我们的合作伙伴正在展开密集外交接触以化解这场危机，包括直接与俄罗斯政府接触。

FACT VS. FICTION: RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION ON UKRAINE

The Department of State, working with the U.S. interagency, is aware of several Russian military and intelligence entities that are engaged in information confrontation targeting Ukraine.  These activities include the spread of disinformation and propaganda attempting to paint Ukraine and Ukrainian government officials as the aggressor in the Russia-Ukraine relationship.  Such measures are intended to influence Western countries into believing Ukraine’s behavior could provoke a global conflict and convince Russian citizens of the need for Russian military action in Ukraine.  Below are examples of Russian lies about the current crisis and its causes – and the truth.

FICTION:  Ukraine and Ukrainian government officials are the aggressor in the Russia-Ukraine relationship.

FACT:  False statements from the Putin regime blame the victim, Ukraine, for Russia’s aggression.  

FICTION:  The West is pushing Ukraine toward a conflict. 

FACT:  Moscow instigated the current crisis by placing more than 100,000 troops on the border of Ukraine, with no similar military activity on the Ukrainian side of the border.  

FICTION:  Russia’s deployment of combat forces is a mere repositioning of troops on its own territory.

FACT:  Deploying more than 100,000 Russian troops, including battle-hardened combat forces and offensive weaponry with no plausible innocuous explanation, to the borders of a country that Russia has previously invaded and still occupies in places is no mere troop rotation.  

FICTION:  The United States has planned chemical weapons attacks in the Donbas.

FACT:  The United States and Russia are parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention.  

FICTION:  Russia is defending ethnic Russians in Ukraine.

FACT:  There are no credible reports  of any ethnic Russians or Russian speakers being under threat from the Ukrainian government.  

FICTION:  NATO has plotted against Russia since the end of the Cold War, encircled Russia with forces, broken supposed promises not to enlarge, and threatened Russia’s security with the prospect of Ukrainian membership in the Alliance .

FACT:  NATO is a defensive alliance, whose purpose is to protect its member states.

NATO does not encircle Russia – Russia’s land border is just over 20,000 kilometers long.  

NATO never promised not to admit new members.  NATO enlargement is not directed against Russia.  

FICTION:  The West shuns diplomacy and goes straight to measures like sanctions.

FACT:  The United States and our partners are engaging in intensive diplomacy to resolve this crisis, including directly with the Russian government.
