Russia “invests” in three main narratives and some of them are picked up by other countries.
Russia uses manipulative narratives to try incite Africa, the Middle East and, in part, Asia against Ukraine. The Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba spoke about this on Facebook, sharing his impressions of his stay in Davos.

The first narrative
“Ukraine resists in vain and does not need to hope for anything, because the West will leave it to its own devices. And Ukraine should not hope for anything “
The second narrative
“Ukraine has diverted the world's attention from solving other problems, and the West, instead of solving all problems and treating all countries and peoples equally, has focused on helping Ukraine”
In this way, the Russians are trying to incite Africa, to incite the Middle East, in part Asia against Ukraine, against our partners and to show that we are somehow discriminatory against them.
Kuleba stated that the authorities will work very seriously with this argument, because despite its absolute groundlessness, “he is coming in.” At the same time, in his opinion, it testifies to the effectiveness of Ukraine, which was able to draw attention to Russia's war and mobilize support for the West.
The third narrative
“The only problem is why in the world food crisis unfolds – sanctions imposed on Russia, thus lifting restrictions “
Ukraine responds to such allegations that the only cause of the food crisis is Russian aggression against Ukraine, not sanctions.
In addition, the Minister noted that he clearly felt in various conversations the thesis: “Why is Ukraine so desperately resisting, causing such untold suffering to its own people and its country? If the war is so difficult, if everything is so difficult, then we must sit down and negotiate. We need to negotiate with Russia, no matter what the cost of this agreement. “
He called the comment very painful because he did not respect the sacrifice made by the Ukrainian people in this war, fighting for their freedom. p>
“I do not want you to have the impression that these are the dominant mainstream thoughts. No, it's not mainstream. These are narratives that Russia is beginning to untwist-spin-spin. There are those who pick them up, “Kuleba said.
