Evidence Proving that ‘Russia started the war in Ukraine’ Is a Vicious Lie

7 March 2025, by Eric Zuesse. (All of my recent articles can be seen here.)

The evidence is HERE. That’s right — it’s not conjecture, it is PROPAGANDA-FREE actual rigorously documented HISTORY of the matter, proving that the U.S. Government STARTED the war in Ukraine in 2014 and refused to stop it, and even refused to cooperate with its allies such as Germany and France to enable Ukraine’s government to achieve agreement with its breakaway provinces (this was in the Minsk 1 and 2 Agreements, which Germany and France partnered in creating but America REFUSED TO PARTICIPATE IN), but which Ukraine — as soon as they signed it — Ukraine refused to move forward to comply with its side of the bargain (and so the war CONTINUED, and even intensified in early 2022, at which point, Russia invaded Ukraine).

Anyone who fails to know the evidences that are linked-to there (and who therefore believes the lie that ‘Russia started the war in Ukraine’), knows ONLY the lies, regarding when and how and why this war started, and why, and by whom, and for what ultimate purpose, it was done. So: what follows here is assuming that the reader aready knows everything that is there:

On March 7th, Britain’s so-called Independent newspaper and Yahoo News headlined “Trump threatens Russia with ‘large scale’ sanctions after massive missile attack on Ukraine” and reported that,

In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said Russia was “absolutely ‘pounding’ Ukraine on the battlefield” and declared that he was “considering large scale Banking Sanctions, Sanctions, and Tariffs on Russia” as a result. …

Pressed on whether he thinks Putin is taking advantage of Trump’s decision to pause aid to Ukraine, he replied: “I think he’s doing what anybody else would do… And I think he's hitting him harder than he's been hitting him. And I think probably anybody in that position would be doing that right now.”

There is NOTHING in the article to indicate that Trump is even AWARE that Obama started this war in 2014 and did so with very aggressive intent against Russia next door to Ukraine. Is Trump so ignorant (of the facts that are documented here), as not to know those facts?

The Independent’s article does not criticize Trump for ignoring those rigorously established historical facts, nor even does it make note of the fact that is documented WITHIN the article itself: that if Trump is correct to say that — on top of the already numerous U.S. sanctions against Russia (almost all of which came after the U.S. ITSELF started the war in Ukrane in 2014) — Trump (a self-alleged “peace maker”) is now threatening to ADD to those, then what could reasonably JUSTIFY this, given that Trump ALSO said that, “I think he’s doing what anybody else would do… And I think he's hitting him harder than he's been hitting him. And I think probably anybody in that position would be doing that right now.”

Trump exhibits no guilt, no remorse, and not even any knowledge that in his prior Administration he himelf had continued and even intensified Obama’s war against Russia in the battlefields of Ukraine: he displays himself as being psychopathic — unconcerned about basic right and wrong — but ONLY caring about which side is now winning the war and which side is losing it. He is saying that if he, Trump, were in Putin’s position (of winning a war), then he, Trump, would “be doing that right now” — but that as America’s President, he will FURTHER PUNISH RUSSIA for “doing that right now.”

Here is a typical one of the ten thousand reader-comments to that news-report at Yahoo News:

Oddly, I would have thought keeping military aid flowing to Ukraine would be the best way to force Moscow to the negotiating table and a peace deal. Pausing military aid to Ukraine, while threatening basically meaningless sanctions and tariffs, seems to actually help Russia, not pressure it.

In fact, so far as I can yet find, none of the readers of the news-report knows the actual history of this war, that I linked-to at the start of the present article. All that they seem to know is the U.S.-and-allied PROPAGANDA about it.

PS: If you like this article, please email it to all your friends or otherwise let others know about it. None of the U.S.-and-allied ‘news’-media will likely publish it (nor link to it, since doing that might also hurt them with Google or etc.). I am not asking for money, but I am asking my readers to spread my articles far and wide, because I specialize in documenting what the Deep State is constantly hiding — what the ‘news’-media ignore if they can, and deny if they must. This is, in fact, today’s samizdat.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
