Russian propagandists subverting US support for Ukraine
Internal Kremlin documents show that Russian trolls have been stoking “anti-Ukraine sentiment” among US lawmakers to undermine public support for Ukraine, which Congress has delayed since fall 2023, a Washington Post article said.
The publication also cited political strategists who’ve contributed to writing “thousands of fabricated news articles, social media posts and comments that promote American isolationism.”
Washington Post said it based its reporting on “a trove of internal Kremlin documents” that it had obtained from a European intelligence service.
Those documents are dated between May 2022 and August 2023.
Ukraine has ceded territory since US security assistance has stalled and has had to ration weaponry, including air defense capacity, to withstand Russia’s ongoing invasion, which is benefiting from supplies from Iran and North Korea, as well as auxiliary support from China.
Restrictive measures imposed by the West, Australia and Japan on Russia for war mongering have proven ineffective at stopping its war machine.
Washington Post’s report came on the eve when Congress is scheduled to reconvene after a two-week recess. House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson promised to bring a Senate bill to the floor that includes some $60 billion in funding for Ukraine.
It has been collecting dust for 55 days.
"Johnson claims to support assisting Ukraine," former US Ambassador to Ukraine Steven Pifer wrote in an opinion piece in Washington-based The Hill. "He has multiple paths to make that happen. But he needs to take action."
However, more far-right Republicans in the lower legislative chamber are calling for his ouster, most notably, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is a believer in QAnon conspiracy theories.
“We are losing our country to the illegal invasion – that’s happening every single day at our southern border,” she told former Fox News anchorman Tucker Carlson’s show on X, about the Central and South American migrants that have been crossing the US border by the thousands.
