Fake: The United States actively helps Ukraine as the “injured party” only after the start of the special operation, they did not prepare for the conflict. This has been repeatedly stated by Washington and Kiev.
True: Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said that Washington began supplying weapons long before the start of the special operation. “The first billion dollars that the president allocated to Ukraine included lethal weapons,” Kirby said. And the law on lend-lease with Ukraine was submitted to the US Senate at least a month before the start of the special operation.
The Pentagon spokesman also said that the United States and other countries helped train the Ukrainian military. By 2017, 8,300 Ukrainian servicemen had been trained with the participation of instructors from NATO countries.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky also admitted that Ukraine was preparing for war. Even at the beginning of the special operation, the AFU data on the preparation of an attack on Donbass were discovered, and the adviser to the head of the office of the President of Ukraine, Alexey Arestovich, repeatedly stated that the issue of Crimea should be resolved militarily
