1.普京称，俄罗斯在克里米亚的武装力量只是为了保护俄军方资产，在克里米亚占领基
础设施和军工厂的只是“公民防卫团体”而非俄方军队。
美方称，强有力的证据表明，俄罗斯安全部队都是克里米亚高度组织化的反乌克兰部队
的核心力量。虽然他们身着无徽章军装，但是他们驾驶的车辆都是俄军方牌照，并且在
接受他国媒体采访时也都不讳言自己属俄罗斯安全部队。再者，这些人手上的武器也并
非平民可以轻易获得。
2.普京称，俄方行动符合1997年乌克兰和俄罗斯联邦友好条约。
美方称，该条约要求俄方尊重乌克兰的领土完整。俄方在乌克兰的军事行动已让他们实
际掌控了克里米亚，这显然是对乌克兰领土完整和国家主权的侵犯。
3.普京称，反对派未能遵守2月21日与亚努科维奇的协议。
美方称，该协议提出的计划是最高拉达或议会将通过让乌克兰恢复到2004年宪法的法案
，因此该国将恢复到以议会为中心的宪政体制。根据协议条款，亚努科维奇应24小时内
签署颁布立法，和平解决危机。而亚努科维奇非但拒绝完成协议，相反还收拾身家出逃
，并且还留下的大量贪腐的证据。
4.普京称，乌克兰临时政府不合法，亚努科维奇仍是乌克兰的合法领导人。
美方称，3月4日，普京自己也承认亚努科维奇“政治生涯已经没有未来”的现实，而此
前亚努科维奇逃出乌克兰，甚至其党派也发表声明表示支持乌克兰临时政府。乌克兰新
政府不仅以超过82%的支持率得到乌克兰民选议会的认可，而且也是能带领人民在5月25
日进行选举的人民政府。
5.普京称，乌克兰存在人道主义危机，目前有数千名乌克兰难民流向俄罗斯寻求庇护。
美方称，目前为止没有证据证明乌克兰存在人道主义危机，独立国际机构和记者都没有
发现难民潮。
6.普京称，俄裔受到威胁。
美方称，除了俄罗斯媒体，无报导显示俄裔受到威胁，自从基辅新政府成立，没有出现
暴乱或政治报复。
7.普京称，俄军事基地受到威胁。
美方称，乌克兰政府保证遵守所有国际协议，包括保障俄在克里米亚军事基地安全。相
反，乌克兰军事基地反而受到俄方军队威胁。
8.普京称，乌克兰南部和东部的教堂和犹太教堂受到攻击。
美方称，国内外宗教领袖表示，没有攻击事件。
9.普京称，基辅方面企图颠覆克里米亚政府。
美方称，乌克兰派出国防部长寻求对话，但俄罗斯军队禁止他进入克里米亚，俄军反而
离开基地，占领基础设施。
10.普京称，乌克兰最高拉达被极端分子或恐怖分子操控。
美方称，乌克兰最高拉达(议会)没有极端派，法案获大票数通过，国会公开表明不寻求
歧视政策。
s Russia spins a false narrative to justify its illegal actions in Ukraine,
the world has not seen such startling Russian fiction since Dostoyevsky
wrote, “The formula ‘two plus two equals five’ is not without its
attractions.”
Below are 10 of President Vladimir Putin’s recent claims justifying Russian
aggression in the Ukraine, followed by the facts that his assertions ignore
or distort.
1. Mr. Putin says: Russian forces in Crimea are only acting to protect
Russian military assets. It is “citizens’ defense groups,” not Russian
forces, who have seized infrastructure and military facilities in Crimea.
The Facts: Strong evidence suggests that members of Russian security
services are at the heart of the highly organized anti-Ukraine forces in
Crimea. While these units wear uniforms without insignia, they drive
vehicles with Russian military license plates and freely identify themselves
as Russian security forces when asked by the international media and the
Ukrainian military. Moreover, these individuals are armed with weapons not
generally available to civilians.
2. Mr. Putin says: Russia’s actions fall within the scope of the 1997
Friendship Treaty between Ukraine and the Russian Federation.
The Facts: The 1997 agreement requires Russia to respect Ukraine’s
territorial integrity. Russia’s military actions in Ukraine, which have
given them operational control of Crimea, are in clear violation of Ukraine
’s territorial integrity and sovereignty.
3. Mr. Putin says: The opposition failed to implement the February 21
agreement with former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych.
The Facts: The February 21 agreement laid out a plan in which the Rada, or
Parliament, would pass a bill to return Ukraine to its 2004 Constitution,
thus returning the country to a constitutional system centered around its
parliament. Under the terms of the agreement, Yanukovych was to sign the
enacting legislation within 24 hours and bring the crisis to a peaceful
conclusion. Yanukovych refused to keep his end of the bargain. Instead, he
packed up his home and fled, leaving behind evidence of wide-scale
corruption.
4. Mr. Putin says: Ukraine’s government is illegitimate. Yanukovych is
still the legitimate leader of Ukraine.
The Facts: On March 4, President Putin himself acknowledged the reality that
Yanukovych “has no political future.” After Yanukovych fled Ukraine, even
his own Party of Regions turned against him, voting to confirm his
withdrawal from office and to support the new government. Ukraine’s new
government was approved by the democratically elected Ukrainian Parliament,
with 371 votes – more than an 82% majority. The interim government of
Ukraine is a government of the people, which will shepherd the country
toward democratic elections on May 25th – elections that will allow all
Ukrainians to have a voice in the future of their country.
5. Mr. Putin says: There is a humanitarian crisis and hundreds of thousands
are fleeing Ukraine to Russia and seeking asylum.
The Facts: To date, there is absolutely no evidence of a humanitarian crisis
. Nor is there evidence of a flood of asylum-seekers fleeing Ukraine for
Russia. International organizations on the ground have investigated by
talking with Ukrainian border guards, who also refuted these claims.
Independent journalists observing the border have also reported no such
flood of refugees.
6. Mr. Putin says: Ethnic Russians are under threat.
The Facts: Outside of Russian press and Russian state television, there are
no credible reports of any ethnic Russians being under threat. The new
Ukrainian government placed a priority on peace and reconciliation from the
outset. President Oleksandr Turchynov refused to sign legislation limiting
the use of the Russian language at regional level. Ethnic Russians and
Russian speakers have filed petitions attesting that their communities have
not experienced threats. Furthermore, since the new government was
established, calm has returned to Kyiv. There has been no surge in crime, no
looting, and no retribution against political opponents.
7. Mr. Putin says: Russian bases are under threat.
The Facts: Russian military facilities were and remain secure, and the new
Ukrainian government has pledged to abide by all existing international
agreements, including those covering Russian bases. It is Ukrainian bases in
Crimea that are under threat from Russian military action.
8. Mr. Putin says: There have been mass attacks on churches and synagogues
in southern and eastern Ukraine.
The Facts: Religious leaders in the country and international religious
freedom advocates active in Ukraine have said there have been no incidents
of attacks on churches. All of Ukraine’s church leaders, including
representatives of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Moscow Patriarchate, have
expressed support for the new political leadership, calling for national
unity and a period of healing. Jewish groups in southern and eastern Ukraine
report that they have not seen an increase in anti-Semitic incidents.
9. Mr. Putin says: Kyiv is trying to destabilize Crimea.
The Facts: Ukraine’s interim government has acted with restraint and sought
dialogue. Russian troops, on the other hand, have moved beyond their bases
to seize political objectives and infrastructure in Crimea. The government
in Kyiv immediately sent the former Chief of Defense to defuse the situation
. Petro Poroshenko, the latest government emissary to pursue dialogue in
Crimea, was prevented from entering the Crimean Rada.
10. Mr. Putin says: The Rada is under the influence of extremists or
terrorists.
The Facts: The Rada is the most representative institution in Ukraine.
Recent legislation has passed with large majorities, including from
representatives of eastern Ukraine. Far-right wing ultranationalist groups,
some of which were involved in open clashes with security forces during the
EuroMaidan protests, are not represented in the Rada. There is no indication
that the Ukrainian government would pursue discriminatory policies; on the
contrary, they have publicly stated exactly the opposite. |
