A year after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the global community still stands steadfast in solidarity with Ukraine. The UN General Assembly sent a clear message that the world does not accept the Kremlin’s impunity. Pro-Kremlin disinformation outlets and their amplifiers seem to have realised this and now seek to deceive their audiences by claiming that the global community supports the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The world responds with resounding laughter to these obvious lies. Boastful claims of Russia’s diplomatic success at the G20 foreign ministers meeting in New Delhi, India, are starkly at odd with reality, since the reception of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov’s proposals for ‘peace negotiations’ at the meeting ranged from open condemnation to a polite but resolute rejection of imposing negotiations on unwilling victims.
