Why Russian propaganda “sends” Ukrainian refugees to Rwanda?

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said Ukrainian refugees will not be sent to Rwanda under a new agreement that mandates sending illegal migrants to the East African country. PM addressed the issue on LBC radio. The topic was immediately picked up by the Russian propaganda media.

Compromising Britain’s support for Ukraine in the war against Russia

Russia purposefully discredits Ukrainian refugees, presenting them as a destabilizing factor for the international community / undermines the efforts of Ukraine’s partners to prevent a global humanitarian catastrophe caused by the Russian-Ukrainian war.

• Official statistics on refugees and the structure of the refugee flow from Ukraine (UN data).
• Distribution of refugees from Ukraine by country.
• Demographic criteria in relation to the flow of refugees from Ukraine.
• Russia is deliberately instigating a global refugee crisis, as well as a global food crisis.
• The refugee/demographic factor is being used as a weapon in the war against Ukraine.
• Russian propaganda deliberately distorts the image of Ukrainian refugees, attributing to them the alleged inability to adapt abroad, poor moral, ethical, professional, educational and cultural qualities (cite examples from Russian propaganda).
• The accusations against the British government, which is allegedly going to send refugees to Rwanda, are part of the discrediting of the UK, which is positioned as “Russia’s eternal foe” in the context of the British government’s strong support for Ukraine in the ongoing war.
• Further development of international law in the field of refugee aid will allow depriving Russia of a number of arguments in this regard.
