The West is spreading a Big Lie about Russia’s participation in the Ukrainian civil war and demonizing the Kremlin; but in reality the Russian leadership wants the people of Donbass to remain within Ukraine’s electorate in order to counterbalance neo-Nazi forces in Ukraine, US author Eric Zuesse notes.

Even Western “alternative” media is turning a blind eye to the fact that Washington and Brussels are spreading a Big Lie about Russia’s involvement in the Ukrainian civil war, insisting that the Russian army is itself participating in the conflict, US author and investigative historian Eric Zuesse emphasizes.
