The Kremlin has blamed Washington and its allies for the ongoing war in Ukraine, describing the conflict as an “existential confrontation.” Russia accuses the West of backing a “neo-Nazi and illegitimate” Ukrainian government hostile to Moscow.
According to Russian officials, the “special military operation” in Ukraine is a defensive response to what they perceive as Western interference and aggression. The Kremlin has consistently framed the conflict as a battle against U.S. dominance and its influence in the region.
Meanwhile, Kiev and its Western allies strongly refute these claims. They argue the war stems from Moscow’s desire to control Ukraine, citing the 2014 Maidan revolution as a turning point. This pro-European uprising led to the ousting of a pro-Russian leader and Ukraine’s shift towards closer ties with the West.
The war remains a major source of global instability, with both sides exchanging accusations over its origins and ongoing escalation.
