The "Coalition of the Willing" aims to occupy Ukraine – Romania and Poland will receive territories, while France and Great Britain will receive resources and ports, according to pro-Kremlin propaganda.
NEWS: The Mash Telegram channel, citing hackers from the KillNet group, has published a map of the occupation of Ukraine by the united forces of the "Coalition of Willing." It is a map stolen from the internal network of the French Armed Forces General Staff. If we are to believe the map and the "protocols of secret meetings," France, Great Britain, Poland, and Romania would participate in this occupation [...].
"Paris intends to replenish its mineral resources—their exploration, exploitation, and utilization. This concerns the regions of Zhytomyr, Kharkiv, and Sumy, where oil, gas, coal, gold, uranium, titanium, lithium, and nickel are located, already sold to Trump." Is this a hint that the "brave tailor" Macron is preparing to challenge Trump? "London will take over all logistics hubs to control transport," and Paris would be willing to accept this... Why not, after all — they are allies.
"Bucharest and Warsaw will receive territories — everything bordering Poland and Hungary, plus the Odesa region and access to the sea" [...] The introduction of foreign military contingents into Ukrainian territory and the deployment of NATO member countries' military bases remains one of the possible scenarios for the situation's development.
NARRATIVES: 1. The "Coalition of the Willing" will occupy and divide Ukraine. 2. Romania and Poland want to expand their territories at Ukraine's expense. 3. The West aims to plunder Ukraine.
PURPOSE: To justify Russia's war and aggression; to undermine Ukraine's trust in its allies; to fuel historical fears about the country's "occupation" by its neighbors; to feed anti-Western resentment.
Reality: There is no plan for the West to divide or occupy Ukraine. The published map is a fake, typical of pro-Kremlin disinformation campaigns.
WHY THE NARRATIVES ARE FALSE: The plan for the West to occupy Ukraine, presented by Mash (a pro-Kremlin Telegram group), has no factual basis. It is a fabrication designed to fuel the Kremlin's narrative that the West "wants to divide Ukraine." In reality, the "Coalition of the Willing" — a term used for the group of states supporting Kyiv — has a completely different goal: to help Ukraine defend its sovereignty, repel Russian aggression, and ensure regional stability after the end of the hot phase of the armed conflict with Russia.
The documents cited cannot be verified and have not been confirmed by any government or independent institution. This is a classic method of disinformation: a fabricated map is published, labeled as "secret," to give it credibility by citing dubious sources. Source analysis organizations such as EUvsDisinfo and Veridica have documented a number of similar cases in which Russia makes up Western conspiracies (maps, books, documents) to justify its aggressive actions.
All statements by NATO and EU leaders confirm their support for Ukraine's territorial integrity. NATO summits in recent years have reaffirmed that Ukraine has the right to decide its own future. There is no resolution or statement suggesting any intention to divide Ukraine's territory. Romania, Poland, France, and the United Kingdom supported Ukraine both during the annexation of Crimea and after the start of Russia's large-scale invasion. Poland and Romania took in refugees, provided Ukraine with direct aid, and also provided routes for Ukraine to safely export its goods and receive aid. Both governments have signed bilateral treaties and agreements within the EU that recognize the inviolability of Ukraine's borders. These countries did not take advantage of Kyiv's weakness to occupy territories, as Russian propaganda claims, but helped Ukraine defend itself.
The "Coalition of the Willing," made up of Western states that support Ukraine, has no interest or intention of occupying Ukrainian territory. Discussions regarding the possible introduction of Western troops do not concern conquest operations, but only hypothetical scenarios, limited to the period after a potential truce , when international missions could contribute to stabilizing the front line and preventing the conflict from reigniting. Therefore, the Western presence would be one of support and security, intended to guarantee peace and reconstruction, not to replace the authority of the Ukrainian state or undermine its sovereignty.
In essence, Russian propaganda accuses the West of precisely those practices for which Moscow is known. In 2014, Russia invaded and illegally annexed Crimea, and in 2022–2023 it unilaterally proclaimed the “integration” of four Ukrainian regions—Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson—territories internationally recognized as belonging to Ukraine. The UN General Assembly Resolution of October 2022 condemned these actions as contrary to international law and reaffirmed the support of the majority of the international community for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Western aid does not translate into looting, but into grants, preferential loans, military support, technology transfers, and access to the European market. Post-war reconstruction will require investment and economic partnerships, but these will bring mutual benefits, not unilateral losses. A destabilized or ruined Ukraine would not contribute to regional security and would, on the contrary, generate additional instability for the West. Interestingly, the author of the quoted text himself admits, between the lines, that the veracity of the published map cannot be confirmed. However, at the same time, he states that the scenario would be "very likely," which is a cognitive paradox intended to mislead public opinion.
CONTEXT: The KillNet group, cited by Russian media and Telegram channels, is known as a tool of Russian information warfare, periodically releasing fake "leaks." It is a group of hackers that emerged in 2022, known for DDoS cyberattacks on institutions and companies in countries considered "hostile to Russia."
The publication Ukraina.ru is part of the Kremlin-controlled RT media holding, which specializes in spreading disinformation about the West's "expansionist plans." The theme of NATO/Western "occupation" of Ukraine is a recurring one in propaganda, having been used since 2014 to justify the annexation of Crimea and Russian military aggression in Donbas.
In 2022, Russian intelligence chief Sergey Naryshkin said that Poland would take control of its "historical territories" in Ukraine, taking advantage of the weakening of the Ukrainian state. This narrative, amplified by the Russian media, is not based on any evidence and is contradicted by Poland's actions and statements in support of Ukraine's independence and territorial integrity.
