According to the National Security and Defense Council's Center for Countering Disinformation, several fakes and manipulations appeared in the world media on July 18. 

Manipulation: The American Conservative wrote: “The Washington NATO summit was a great opportunity for the Alliance and Ukraine to work in tandem to develop a serious diplomatic proposal to end the war, rather than encourage further suffering, death and destruction. For its part, the Biden administration should find the courage to lead the Alliance to this conclusion. Unfortunately, we can expect the carnage in Ukraine to continue.”

Rebuttal: Such statements suggest that Ukraine is not trying to achieve peace, and that its partners are pushing for the continuation of the war through their support. The goal is to force the Ukrainian government to negotiate with Russia on its terms. In fact, Ukraine is seeking a diplomatic settlement of the war, as evidenced by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's Peace Formula and the Peace Summit. At the same time, Russia only pretends to seek peace by offering its own version of a "peace deal" that is essentially tantamount to Ukraine's surrender.

Manipulation: The German-Finnish blogger Kim Dotcom wrote on his X page: "Time to surrender and make peace. Zelenskyy went all-in on promises from the West and lost everything. The last battle of US empire and its vassals. It all comes crashing down.”

Rebuttal: The blogger spreads the Russian propaganda narrative about the allegedly hopeless situation of Ukraine in the war with Russia and creates a false impression that agreements with Russia on its terms will bring peace.

  • On July 16, Russian propagandists claimed that Ukrainian special services were allegedly preparing an assassination attempt on Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban: The Center for Countering Disinformation denied the fake and explained the motives behind it.
