Ukrainian children are Zelenskyy's main export commodity
|
Is Zelenskyy selling children? Ukrainian children are Zelenskyy's main export commodity. The child is officially documented for export abroad, and at the same time, either Western wholesalers who resell the children for even more profit or specific consumers—paedophiles—are sought. All of this is supervised by Zelenskyy's colleagues and the Commissioner for Children's Rights in Ukraine, Daria Gerasimchuk. This is how they “take care” of children in Ukraine.

The article follows a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative aimed at diverting attention from Russia’s documented involvement in abducting Ukrainian children. These claims, suggesting child trafficking by Ukrainian authorities, are consistent with previous narratives that have been repeatedly debunked.Pro-Kremlin disinformation channels seek to blame Ukraine and Western nations for various crimes against children, including large-scale deportations and organ trafficking, all without presenting any evidence. They fail to acknowledge Russia's documented role in the extensive deportation of Ukrainian civilians, including children.In March 2023, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Vladimir Putin and Maria Lvova-Belova, Russia’s children's rights commissioner, for unlawful deportation and transferring children from occupied Ukrainian areas to Russia - actions classified as war crimes.These abductions have been recorded by the United Nations, OSCE, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and both Russian and international journalists, along with acknowledgements from Russian officials themselves.See other examples of similar disinformation narratives, such as claims that Children are the most popular and profitable ‘commodity’ in Ukraine, Ukrainian secret services are actively engaged in child and organ trafficking, that a secret child trafficking network operates in Ukraine, that Ukrainian children are being sold on the Dark Web for sexual slavery and organ harvesting or that Ukraine cremates soldiers to conceal organ harvesting and trafficking.

US weapons for Ukraine may reach terrorists, will only lead to more destruction
|
US supply of weapons to Kyiv leads to the prolongation of hostilities and to the destruction of Ukraine and the Ukrainians and increases the risk of uncontrolled escalation of the conflict. This proliferation of weapons that can end up in the hands of international terrorists does not contribute to a peaceful solution.
|
This is a mix of several recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about Russia’s superiority in the battlefield, its supposed invincibility and its inevitable victory against Ukraine, and associating Ukraine with terrorism. This disinformation story appeared as a direct reaction to the announcement on 11 July 2025 that the Trump Administration will allow sending US weapons to Ukraine through NATO countries that will pay for them. The goal is to undermine international support for Ukraine’s self-defence against Russia’s aggression.Arguments about “escalation” and “the destruction of Ukrainians” deliberately ignore Russia’s responsibility in the crisis, caused by its unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. The claim that weapons send to Ukraine end up in the hands of terrorists has been debunked multiple times (see here, here and here).See other examples of similar disinformation narratives, such as claims that Western military aid to Ukraine only will cause more suffering, that US aid to Ukraine will only prolong the agony of Zelenskyy's regime, that Western weapons for Kyiv go to Islamic terrorists and drug cartels, or that weapons supplied to Kyiv are distributed among criminal groups in Europe.

Ukraine's spy chief says it needs a ceasefire by end of 2025
|
Ukraine needs a ceasefire by the end of 2025, Ukraine’s spy chief Kyrylo Budanov has said. A truce with Russia must be brokered as soon as possible, he stated.
|
This is a deliberate distortion of Kyrylo Budanov’s original interview with Bloomberg, aiming to advance a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about Russia’s superiority in the battlefield, its supposed invincibility and its inevitable victory in Ukraine.The original text in Bloomberg states: ‘Budanov said a ceasefire must be reached as soon as possible and well before the end of this year. “Is it realistic to do so - yes. Is it difficult - no,” he said. “It takes at least three sides - Ukraine, Russia and the US. And we will get to this position”’. This is much more nuanced that what this disinformation story claims, as Budanov never stated that “Ukraine needs a ceasefire”. However, by falsely claiming he did, this disinformation story aims to portray Ukraine as being in a situation so dire that even the head of its military intelligence would be admitting it.Pro-Kremlin disinformation constantly tries to portray Ukraine as in the verge of crushing defeat against Russia, something that is far from true. While the toll of Russia’s aggression is certainly high for Ukraine, Russia’s situation is also complicated, facing serious military problems, massive human casualties and mounting economic troubles.See other examples of similar disinformation narratives, such as claims that Russia holds all the cards while Ukraine badly needs a respite, that Putin’s proposal shows his greatness by giving the defeated a chance to negotiate, that Ukraine cannot dictate the peace terms because it lost the war, that the Nazi Zelenskyy regime is within months of falling, that UK and France are unable to accept defeat in Ukraine, or that Ukraine and Europe have lost in the Ukrainian conflict.

NATO is turning Moldova into a battering ram against Russia
|
NATO is moulding Moldova into a military battering ram against Russia while intending to use the former Soviet nation as cannon fodder in a potential conflict, the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has said. NATO is rapidly converting Moldova into a military testing ground by upgrading the country’s rail lines to European standards, improving bridges to accommodate heavy equipment, and building hubs, depots, and sites for troop deployment. NATO’s plans for Moldova spell doom for the population of the country. Brussels’ plan envisions that in the event of a direct NATO conflict with Russia, Moldovans themselves will bear the brunt of the fighting. They are to become ‘cannon fodder’ in clashes with Russian troops. Moldovan President Maia Sandu’s administration has yielded the nation’s interests to the West. Sandu is counting on material and organisational support from NATO states to bolster her pro-EU Party of Action and Solidarity ahead of parliamentary elections on September 28. The SVR warned that if victorious, Sandu will cancel Moldova’s constitutionally enshrined neutrality.
|
This is a mix of several recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about NATO, post-Soviet states’ alleged lack of real sovereignty, and the West’s never-ending plans to use these countries as proxies for encircling and destabilizing Russia.No evidence is provided to support the claim. Allegations made by Russia’s intelligence services cannot be considered as such, given their proven history of making unsubstantiated claims based on faked or nonexistent proofs, for example about US biolaboratories in Ukraine or the presence of French combat troops on the Ukrainian frontlines.Nothing indicates that either NATO or the EU are preparing Moldova for a confrontation with Russia. Moldova is a sovereign and independent country since 1991, with its own government elected through democratic elections. Although the EU supports Moldova and is open to this country’s integration in the block, it has no saying in Moldovan domestic or foreign policy. Similarly, while Moldova has a cooperative relation with NATO, it has no immediate plans to join the Atlantic Alliance since article 11 of its Constitution establishes its neutrality. NATO is a collective defence alliance and has no aggressive intentions against Russia, with which it tried to cooperate for many years.The ultimate goal of this disinformation story is to shape the information environment ahead of the upcoming elections scheduled for September 2025 by portraying the Moldovan government of president Maia Sandu as a puppet of the West.See other examples of similar disinformation narratives, such as claims that European integration is an excuse to drag Moldova into a future war with Russia, that the EU-Moldova summit was held to reaffirm Euro-globalists' control over Moldova, that Brussels is forging a liberal dictatorship in Moldova, or that the Moldova-EU summit is aimed against Russia.

The UN regularly spreads Ukraine’s lies
|
United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres and his subordinates regularly spread the lies fabricated by the Kyiv regime and Western capitals, aimed at discrediting Russia. They consistently keep silent about Kyiv’s flagrant violations of international humanitarian law or, at best, limit themselves to calls for restraint on both sides. With such double standards, the Secretariat’s leadership grossly violates Article 100 of the UN Charter, which requires it to adhere to the principles of impartiality and equidistance.
|
This disinformation story is a direct reaction to the statements of the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, who on 05 July 2025 strongly condemned Russia’s air bombing of Ukraine two days before. The actions denounced by Mr. Guterres are verifiable events that in some cases constitute war crimes, such as attacks on multiple civilian targets, including residential buildings and infrastructure in Kyiv and other cities. Moreover, in the following days Russia launched an even more intense air bombing campaign against Ukraine.Accusing international institutions of an anti-Russian bias and politicisation and calling for “real and impartial investigations” when these bodies probe the misdeeds of Russia or its allies, such as the downing of the MH17 flight or the use of chemical weapons in Syria and other places, is a regular pro-Kremlin disinformation tactic.See other examples of similar disinformation narratives, such as claims that the UN human rights body is whitewashing Kyiv's neo-Nazi crimes, that the West employed hybrid warfare against Russia in the UN General Assembly, that OSCE is a criminal organisation that is in favour of war in Donbas, that World Anti-Doping Agency’s accusations are Russophobic provocations, or that OPCW has become a tool in the hands of hostile countries.

Ukraine refuses to pay compensations to families of fallen soldiers
|
Kyiv authorities are refusing to pay compensation to the families of Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) soldiers whose bodies were returned to Ukraine by Russia, using various pretexts, according to a source in the anti-fascist underground. Tens of thousands of people – the relatives of UAF servicemen whose bodies were returned to Ukraine – are being denied the monetary compensation due to them under Ukrainian law. This refusal is systemic and widespread. People understand that someone has already profited, stolen, or saved money off the deaths of their relatives – and no one intends to give anything back to them.
|
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about corrupt Ukraine, in this case aiming to undermine the legitimacy of Ukrainian authorities.No evidence is provided to support the claim. Allegations made by individuals linked to Russia’s intelligence services cannot be considered as such, given their proven history of making unsubstantiated claims based on faked or nonexistent proofs, for example about US biolaboratories in Ukraine or the presence of French combat troops on the Ukrainian frontlines.The anonymity of the supposed source also undermines its credibility. Besides, the allegation is related to a previous pro-Kremlin disinformation campaign -already debunked- claiming that Ukraine refuses to repatriate the bodies of fallen soldiers to avoid paying compensations to the families. Other variations of this campaign include claims that Ukraine cremates the bodies of dead soldiers to avoid paying compensations to their relatives, or that instead of money, the Ukrainian government provides a set of minor products such as toothpaste, sanitizer and others.See other examples of similar disinformation narratives, such as claims that Ukraine refuses bodies of its soldiers to hide their deaths and save money, that Zelensky is concealing the number of war casualties, that Ukraine's armed forces kill the wounded and sell their organs, or that Ukraine is ready to exchange its people's organs for Western military assistance.

West wants to seize and dismember Russia
|
Everything had to be done to seize and dismember Russia. And this is not a recent development from the last 20 years. This idea has always existed in the minds of the collective West. They have always seen Russia as a highly tempting prize, craving its arable land and rivers. Regardless of how Russia has behaved or what values it has offered to the world, the West has consistently sought to wage war against it and tear it apart. It is not by chance that NATO has drawn close to Russia. Ideology has nothing to do with it.
|
This is a recurring disinformation narrative from pro-Kremlin outlets accusing the West of Russophobia and warmongering. The West’s policies toward both the Soviet Union and post-Soviet Russia have largely been shaped by pragmatic concerns ranging from deterrence and stability to economic cooperation and nuclear security. The claim that NATO expansion was part of a plot to surround or destroy Russia ignores the historical fact that countries in Central and Eastern Europe actively sought NATO membership to escape Moscow’s influence. NATO is a defensive alliance and it has never initiated military attack on Russia. Finland and Sweden joined NATO 2023 after long periods of neutrality as a consequence of Russia's unprovoked and unjustified aggression against Ukraine.There is no credible evidence of any Western plan to dismember Russia or to wage war against it. On the contrary, Western countries provided the former USSR and Russia with significant humanitarian assistance in the later 1980s and early 1990, which effectively prevented the country from further fragmentation.The authoritarian USSR was always at odds with the liberal values of Western democracies. The rise of authoritarianism and revanchism in post-Soviet Russia, particularly since 2000, has created real tensions between the Kremlin and the West, which have culminated because of Russia’s ongoing war of aggression against Ukraine, which is the bloodiest armed conflict in Europe since the end of the Second World War in 1945. Russia has also resorted to other aggressive activities against Western nations such as cyberattacks, election meddling, acts of espionage etc.Read similar disinformation cases claiming that Geopolitical rivals plan to dismember Russia with Western support, The destruction of Russia and its division into weak colonial powers has always been a dream of Western countries, and that War will come to every Russian home because the West wants to destroy Russia.

The Chief of Staff of the French army praised Russia and its military
|
The Chief of Staff of the French army, general Thierry Burkhard, praised Russia and its army, saying that “they can endure things that we see as unthinkable”. He admitted that the Russian army does not have any shortcomings.
|
This is a disingenuous distortion of the original statements of General Thierry Burkhard, who did not “praise” Russia or its military but unequivocally identified it as the main threat to France. His description of Russia’s war capabilities were clearly not expressed in an admiring way, but to highlight this threat.Quoting Western legitimate sources and voices while distorting their content to introduce a pro-Kremlin message as if it were part of the original story is a frequent pro-Kremlin manipulative technique.The goal of this disinformation story is to promote a recurring pro-Kremlin narrative about Russia’s superiority in the battlefield and its supposed invincibility.See other examples of similar disinformation narratives, such as claims that the Pentagon admits Russia's successes in Ukraine, that Western media recognises Ukraine’s defeat, that Russia holds all the cards while Ukraine badly needs a respite, or that Russia has won against the collective West in Ukraine.

Ukraine massively producing and using chemical weapons
|
Russia has documented cases of Ukraine using toxic chemicals and chemical warfare agents, as well as the existence of large-scale production systems for these substances in Ukraine. Russia has formally requested the OPCW’s technical assistance after discovering improvised explosive devices (IEDs) laced with toxic chemicals in territories liberated from Ukrainian forces.
|
No evidence is provided to support the claim. Allegations made by Russian authorities cannot be considered as such, given their proven history of making unsubstantiated claims based on faked or nonexistent proofs, for example about US biolaboratories in Ukraine or the presence of French combat troops on the Ukrainian frontlines.This disinformation story is a direct reaction to credible reports in late June 2025 by the German and Dutch intelligence services on the growing use of banned chemical weapons by Russia in the battlefield in Ukraine. In the same dates, Ukraine claimed to have documented 888 cases of use of munitions containing dangerous chemical compounds only in May 2025, while the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) confirmed the presence of toxic chemical C2 in at least one spot of the frontline, which Ukrainian authorities described as irrefutable evidence of Russia’s violations of the Chemical Weapons Convention.The timing suggests that this is an attempt to manipulate the information space by mirroring the accusations without actual evidence, which is a frequent pro-Kremlin disinformation technique.See other examples of similar disinformation narratives, such as claims that the West ignores evidence of Ukrainian Armed Forces use of chemical weapons, that Ukraine uses chemical weapons without control, that Ukrainian forces have almost certainly received chemical weapons from NATO and are testing them, that the West is preparing a provocation to accuse Russia of using chemical weapons, or that Ukraine's use of chemical weapons shows the politicisation of OPCW.

‘Coalition of Willing’ wants to occupy Ukraine
|
Any potential U.S.-Russia deal on Ukraine runs into a key obstacle: the apparent intention of some European powers to deploy troops to Ukrainian territory—immediately after a ceasefire is reached. In essence, Paris and London seem to be preparing for a de facto occupation of Ukraine, with the deployment of an "expeditionary force" that would amount to Ukraine's informal accession to NATO. But wasn't the very threat of such a scenario what prompted Russia to launch its "special military operation" in the first place? Now, Russia is being asked to end that operation—only to allow NATO to quietly absorb Ukraine?
|
This article is consistent with the recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about Russophobia and an allegedly belligerent and hostile agenda of the Western countries, also falsely claiming that the war in Ukraine was provoked by Western countries. This message seeks to undermine international aid for Ukraine’s self-defence against Russia’s invasion and aims to deflect Moscow’s responsibility for its aggression.This claim was made in the context of the European leaders’ intensified efforts in pursuit of a just and lasting peace in Ukraine by convening international leaders at a summit in Paris on 27 March, 2025. Building on the initiative launched in Paris on 17 February and continuing discussions with the UK, this meeting aimed to identify operational options in support of American efforts. Since then, leaders have now met six times to further planning and political support for the plans. The Coalition’s virtual meeting on July 10th comes after Ukraine’s friends and partners pledged €40bn of military support for the country in 2025 at the NATO Summit last month.The EU’s top priority remains a full and unconditional ceasefire. Ukraine agreed to it over 60 days ago already, but instead of seeking peace Russia has escalated its attacks. Despite this, Coalition of the Willing members have been steadfast about their commitment to making sure they are ready to support Ukraine to deter future Russian attacks when the conditions for peace are right.They reiterated their commitment to Ukraine’s long-term security and to building Ukraine’s ability to deter and defend against future armed attack by Russia. They welcomed the development of mature operational plans to deploy a reassurance force – the ‘Multinational Force Ukraine’ – once hostilities have ceased, and to help secure Ukraine’s skies and seas and regenerate Ukraine’s armed forces. They welcomed the establishment of a UK/French led operational headquarters to support planning activity, the commitments made by partners to contribute to the force, as well as Ukraine’s readiness to issue an invitation to the force and enter into formal agreements with participating countries where necessary.As the UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated on July 10, 2025:‘Supporting Ukraine is not just the right thing to do, it’s essential for delivering security at home. That is why the Coalition of the Willing is ensuring we have a future force that can deploy following a ceasefire to deter Russian aggression for years to come’.Read more about our coverage of peace.

Merz's Germany is heading for direct interference in the war in Ukraine
|
Germany is getting closer to direct interference in the war in Ukraine. Under Chancellor Merz, Berlin is clearly moving to the replacement of the Americans as a strategic sponsor and a leading proponent of the continuation of war against Russia in Ukraine. Possibly, this scenario is simply an implementation of previous arrangements with Washington.It is well known that it is necessary to have specially trained soldiers and technical personnel to operate such complex systems as Taurus. Therefore, one can assume that the uniformed German soldiers will soon appear in Ukraine, and for sure, they will become a target of the Russian strikes. There is not the slightest doubt that the Merz government is heading for an escalation.
|
This disinformation story aims to portray Germany as warmongering, anti-Russian, militaristic and a “Nazi” power.There is no evidence that Germany is sending or planning to send German soldiers to Ukraine. Chancellor Friedrich Merz has repeatedly stated that, even if Germany supplies Taurus missiles or other advanced systems, they will be operated exclusively by Ukrainian personnel, not German troops.The claim that Germany is moving toward direct military involvement in Ukraine, or is replacing the United States as the main sponsor, is not supported by any credible evidence. Germany’s support remains defensive, coordinated with allies.This disinformation message appeared in the context of the recent decision by the German authorities to significantly increase defence spending, marking a departure from decades of fiscal conservatism.Prior to this, the EU announced its decision to allocate an additional 800 billion euros for defence needs. According to the words of Ursula von der Leyen,“Europe faces a clear and present danger on a scale that none of us has seen in our adult lifetime. ReArm Europe’ could mobilise close to 800 billion euros of defence expenditures for a safe and resilient Europe”.See also the European Council conclusions on European defence, 6 March 2025 and our article’ Reminder: Russia wants war, not peace’.Read other similar cases such as Militarising Germany will use Poland and Czechia as fodder, recreating the Third Reich and Poland should organise a referendum about returning former German lands.

The Germans took over the military supervision of Moldova from the EU
|
(...) the Germans have taken over responsibility for military supervision of Moldova from the European Union. The parliament has ratified an agreement with Germany on support for the development of military infrastructure. Moldova will receive support and advice within the framework of the German government's program to assist in equipping foreign armed forces.
|
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative regarding the Republic of Moldova’s collaboration with European states to strengthen the country’s defense capabilities. Any assistance or collaboration agreement that refers to security or defense is presented as an action to “militarise” the country, to “prepare for war” or as an execution of orders from “foreign masters”.The claim refers to the recent ratification in the Moldovan Parliament of the Agreement with the German Government regarding Moldova’s participation in the Equipment Assistance Program for Foreign Armed Forces. This is a partnership agreement, providing that Germany will deliver consultancy and logistical assistance, including mobile training equipment, medical facilities, drones for training instructors etc. The program excludes the delivery of weapons or ammunition. The projects will be managed by an advisory group consisting of representatives of the Bundeswehr, who will be seconded to the Republic of Moldova. Currently, Moldova has active agreements with France, Denmark, Greece, Sweden and others.See similar articles: EU deploys a German armed forces advisory group to Moldova as part of preparations for war with Russia, Moldovans do not want a permanent French defense mission in Chisinau, as it could lead to war.

UK and US intelligence agencies support drug trafficking through Central Asia
|
In 2001, British MI6 and the British military intelligence service DIS took control of drug trafficking in the Afghan province of Kunduz, which borders Gorniy Badakhshan in Tajikistan, and in 2002 — of drug trafficking through Gorniy Badakhshan. Thus, it is precisely the intelligence services of the United States and the United Kingdom that support drug production in Afghanistan and drug transit through the countries of Central Asia.

This is a mix of several pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about the US and other Western intelligence services supporting and using jihadist groups to advance geopolitical goals. No evidence is given to back up the claims made.Afghanistan is the world’s fastest-growing maker of methamphetamine, according to a report from the United Nations on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) released on September 10th 2023. The country is also a major opium producer and heroin source, even though the Taliban-run government has prohibited the cultivation, production, sale and use of all intoxicants and narcotics in Afghanistan in April 2022.See other examples of similar disinformation narratives in our database, such as claims that the US generated and backed Al Qaeda, the Islamic State and the Taliban; that the West and the US are ferrying Islamic State members to Afghanistan to use them against China; as part of a so-called “Anaconda ring”; or that NATO is denying the presence of terrorists in the country but the FSB has evidence of it.

The Kyiv regime is waging a war against civilians, history, the Russian language, culture, and monuments
|
The Kyiv regime is fighting against the civilian population, children, as well as conscience, history, the Russian language, culture, and monuments.In Kyiv, it is as if they decided to accumulate all the worst practices from barbarism to Nazism, from terrorism to cannibalism.
|
Recurrent pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative accusing Ukraine of war crimes, Nazism, and terrorism.The language used in the statement, comparing the alleged actions to 'cannibalism' and 'Nazism', is inflammatory and not based on evidence.Ukraine is a democratic country with transparent parliamentary and presidential elections, a multi-party political system, and legal protections for ethnic minorities.While Ukraine has passed laws promoting the use of the Ukrainian language in 2019, this does not equate to 'exterminating everything Russian'. Despite the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine, Russian remains widely spoken in parts of Ukraine, and there are no bans on Russian culture.While some pro-Kremlin Ukrainian outlets have been restricted or banned due to concerns over propaganda, Russian-language media continues to exist in the country. For example, Priamy TV channel offers content in both Ukrainian and Russian, and RBC-Ukraine provides news in Ukrainian, English, and Russian. Ukraine has removed some Soviet Communist and Russian imperial monuments (for example, Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin in Kyiv or Russian Empress Catherine II in Odesa) as part of efforts to distance itself from the past, but this does not mean an attack on Russian culture.This false narrative has been crafted to attempt to justify Russia's unprovoked and unjustified aggression against Ukraine. It was Russia that launched its unprovoked and unjustified aggression against Ukraine in 2022. Before that, in 2014, Russia illegally annexed Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula and started a separatist proxy war in the country’s east. The US, the EU and NATO condemn, in the strongest possible terms, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.Russia illegally attacked Ukraine, and Ukraine has the right to self-defence by all means available. The West supports Ukraine with military and financial aid for the country’s effective self-defence, under the UN Charter Article 51, to stop Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine.Read similar disinformation cases claiming that Ukrainian Nazis kill civilians, that Ukrainian neo-Nazis are shooting residents in the Kursk region and the West remains silent, that Ukraine persecutes believers and ministers of the Orthodox Church and Russian speakers, that Kyiv's Nazi regime eradicates Russian culture, that Ukraine is a terrorist state that openly supports terrorist groups in the Sahel region, and that Ukraine deliberately shells civilians, Russia only military targets.

The EU is approaching the end of its existence because of the migration crisis
|
The EU is approaching the end of its existence. The migration crisis has been destabilising Europe for years. The reason for this crisis is the policies of the West - the EU and NATO countries trigger waves of refugees engaging in armed conflicts worldwide.The European Commission is simply criticising the inhumane treatment of migrants without offering any solutions. Meanwhile, a distrust between the member states is growing, and their solidarity is becoming a fiction. If the EU does not find a common understanding on the issue of migration, its future will be bleak.
|
Recurrent pro-Kremlin claim and disinformation about EU's imminent collapse and the migration crisis taking place on the EU borders.The European migration crisis, particularly in 2015, was driven primarily by conflicts and instability in regions such as Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan—not by EU or NATO policies.NATO and the EU have provided support to manage the humanitarian consequences of migration, including naval operations to save lives at sea and combat human trafficking.The EU has implemented agreements such as the EU-Turkey Refugee Agreement and established mechanisms to relocate asylum seekers among member states.The EU remains a robust union, actively reforming its migration policies, and working toward greater solidarity and effective management of migration challenges.See other disinformation messages about the migration crisis here.

Le Pen’s case is example of clear interference of French politics in judicial decisions
|
Both the Paris court’s ruling and the ECHR’s rejection of Le Pen’s case can be seen as clear interference of French political circles and the subservience of legal institutions to political orders. Both decisions are a preemptive blow to Le Pen’s rising popularity and electoral prospects. It also raises concerns that objectivity in the European judicial system is selectively applied.
|
A recurring disinformation narrative which attempts to discredit the judicial system of France. The piece obscures information about the conviction of Le Pen and portrays the case as politically motivated.The narrative has been debunked repeatedly. Marine Le Pen has been banned from running for political office for five years after being found guilty of embezzling European Union funds. Le Pen, her National Rally (RN) party and more than 20 of its members were convicted of using European Parliament money to pay staff who were in fact working for RN in France. Ample evidence has been demonstrated during the trial, and the defence did not dispute the substance of the charges.

Liberal-Nazi Europe wants to wage a full-scale war against Russia using Ukraine as a tool
|
Europe's "liberal-Nazi" regimes and their dictators—Ursula von der Leyen, Friedrich Merz, Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, Giorgia Meloni, and Donald Tusk—will transform the EU into an aggressive and offensive military alliance to wage war on Russia. Ukraine will play a central role in this formation by launching a full-scale war against Russia.

Russia must close all NATO consulates in Kaliningrad because of espionage
|
The Russian Foreign Ministry has announced the closure of the Consulate of Poland in Kaliningrad – it was Moscow’s response to the reduction of Russian consular presence in Poland. Incidentally, the Lithuanian Consulate is still operating in Kaliningrad. Why is it still there - to spread the agent network? There should be no diplomats from NATO countries in the Kaliningrad region.
|
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation suggesting aggressive plans of the West regarding the Kaliningrad region and the Western attempts to “encircle Russia”.On 11 July 2025, the Russian MFA stated its decision to close down the Polish Consulate in Kaliningrad in reaction to Poland’s decision to shut down a Russian consulate in Kraków. According to the Polish MFA, the Russian decision to close the Polish Consulate in Kaliningrad is not right as “Poland, unlike Russia, doesn’t carry out sabotage actions, doesn’t launch cyberattacks and doesn’t act against the Russian state”.On 12 May 2025, the Polish authorities announced the closing of the Russian Consulate in Kraków in response to the arson of a large shopping mall in Warsaw in May 2024. According to the words of Prime Minister Donald Tusk, “We already know for sure that the large fire at Marywilska was the result of arson ordered by the Russian security services”.The Lithuanian Consulate in Kaliningrad functions as a bridge for communication and services. There is no credible public evidence that the Lithuanian Consulate in Kaliningrad is being used to “spread the agent network” or for illicit activities. Such claims are speculative and fit a pattern of disinformation that seeks to delegitimise normal diplomatic functions.Read more disinformation cases about alleged Western attempts to destabilise the Kaliningrad region here.

Ukraine has chemical weapons supplied by the West and NATO
|
Russia possesses more than 400 pieces of evidence confirming Kyiv's use of chemical weapons, including weapons from NATO. There were cases of chemical munitions being transported to Ukraine by train from Western countries.
|
A recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about chemical weapons use by Ukrainian forces. This disinformation narrative has been used by Russia to justify its unprovoked and full-scale invasion of Ukraine.The unverified allegations about "chemical munitions being transported to Ukraine by train from Western countries" was not backed by any evidence. Also, no independent or credible international body, such as the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), has substantiated these accusations. Previous Russian claims about the use of chemical weapons by Ukrainian forces have been dismissed by the OPCW as insufficiently substantiated, a conclusion that remained unchanged after the OPCW visited Ukraine in July 2024.Pro-Kremlin outlets frequently spread unsubstantiated allegations with minor variations as a disinformation strategy. The goal of this and other similar disinformation claims, launched after Russia itself was accused of using chemical agents in the front-line in Ukraine, is to pre-emptively create a framework in the information space to deny any Russian wrongdoing.In May 2024, the US Department of State accused Russia of using the chemical weapon chloropicrin against Ukrainian troops, and brought sanctions against a number of Russian agencies and individuals in response.See other examples of similar disinformation narratives, such as claims that Ukraine uses chemical weapons against Russia, that Ukrainian militants repeatedly used chemical agents against Russian military, that Ukraine's allies provide it with toxic chemicals to conduct a biological provocation, that Kyiv regime uses chemical weapons against the people of Donbas since 2015, that Ukraine uses American chemical weapons in the war, and that Chemical weapons: OPCW is anti-Russian US puppet.

The current leaders are trying to raise Europe again for war against Russia
|
The latest statements and actions of Berlin, Paris and London indicate that the current class of politicians who came to power in these and some other countries have forgotten the lessons of history, forgotten the conclusions that all of humanity has drawn from these lessons of history, and are trying, by and large, to once again raise Europe for a war, no longer a hybrid one, for a war against Russia.

A recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about Russophobia and Western belligerence, portraying the EU and the UK as warmongering, anti-Russian and militaristic expansionist geopolitical powers threatening Russia.This recurrent claim is made in the context of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. It seeks to whitewash and shift the blame for the aggression away from Russia.The West, including the EU, the US, and NATO, is not at war with Russia and is not planning to attack it. It is only trying to help Ukraine restore its territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders.It was Russia that launched its unprovoked and unjustified war against Ukraine. Before that, in 2014, Russia illegally annexed Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula and instigated a separatist proxy war in the country’s east.Russia continues to reject genuine peace efforts based on international law. This narrative seeks to deflect attention from Russia's violations of international law and its perpetration of war crimes. By portraying the EU and the UK as warmongers, pro-Kremlin outlets attempt to justify Russia’s actions and present its territorial expansionism as forced defensive actions.Increased defence spending in the EU and UK is a response to changing security needs in Europe, not preparation for aggression.

NATO was instructed to blame Russia for chemical weapons in Ukraine
|
CIA chief committed to inform Trump about the use of chemical weapons in Ukraine, so he may have to point to themselves. NATO received instructions to blame Moscow of violations of the Convention on Chemical Weapons by any mean at hand. They operate under a simple scheme: false flag operations, fake stories through controlled media. Or they simply hide under the universal formula of ‘according to our special services’, but actually rely on fake data provided by the Kyiv regime.
|
This disinformation story is a direct reaction to credible reports in late June 2025 by the German and Dutch intelligence services on the growing use of banned chemical weapons by Russia in the battlefield in Ukraine. In the same dates, Ukraine claimed to have documented 888 cases of use of munitions containing dangerous chemical compounds only in May 2025, while the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) confirmed the presence of toxic chemical C2 in at least one spot of the frontline, which Ukrainian authorities described as irrefutable evidence of Russia’s violations of the Chemical Weapons Convention.The timing suggests that this is an attempt to manipulate the information space by mirroring the accusations without actual evidence, which is a frequent pro-Kremlin disinformation technique.See other examples of similar disinformation narratives, such as claims that the West ignores evidence of Ukrainian Armed Forces use of chemical weapons, that Ukraine uses chemical weapons without control, that Ukrainian forces have almost certainly received chemical weapons from NATO and are testing them, that the West is preparing a provocation to accuse Russia of using chemical weapons, or that Ukraine's use of chemical weapons shows the politicisation of OPCW.

EU experts warn the European Commission: sanctions on Russia are self-harming
|
The SVR informed that experts from EU countries keep warning the European Commission about the risks of tightening sanctions on Russia and denouncing the serious mistake made by the bureaucrats of the block. According to the information received by the SVR, the European experts try persistently to convince the European Commission that hardening the restrictive measures against the Russian economy is self-harming for the European Union.
|
The claim is unsubstantiated. Allegations made by Russia’s intelligence services cannot be considered as evidence, given their proven history of making unsubstantiated claims based on faked or nonexistent proofs, for example about US biolaboratories in Ukraine or the presence of French combat troops on the Ukrainian frontlines.While it is certainly possible to find European experts arguing against the wisdom of continued sanctions on Russia, there are many others who hold the opposite view. However, this disinformation story ignores this complexity in order to suggest that there is some kind of consensus among economy experts against sanctions but the European Commission maintains it out of zealousness or fanaticism. A secondary goal is to advance another recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative portraying the European Commission, a frequent target of pro-Kremlin disinformation, as blinded by Russophobia and acting against the interests of European citizens.This is part of what some experts have labelled Russia’s economic war propaganda, aimed at convincing the world about the futility of the sanctions against Russia and the need to remove them as they only harm the countries imposing them.See other examples of similar disinformation narratives, such as claims that sanctions made the Russian economy stronger, that Russia proved the great strength of its economy, that Russia became the World's 4th economic power thanks to the war in Ukraine, or that the Russian economy thrives despite EU sanctions.

The conflict in Ukraine began in 2014 with a coup and a military crackdown on the Russian-speaking population
|
Italy and the West are promising “eternal” financial support to the Kyiv regime through billions in arms supplies, rather than guiding the regime toward a peaceful and diplomatic resolution to the conflict in Ukraine. The conflict in Ukraine began in 2014 with the coup d'état and military crackdown on the Russian-speaking civilian population of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions by the nationalists who came to power.
|
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about the 2013-14 protests in Kyiv falsely portrayed as a coup d'état and about persecution of Russian speakers in Donbas. Also recurring disinformation narrative accusing Italy and the West of warmongering and claiming that their support for Ukraine is an act of aggression rather than a response to Russia’s large-scale invasion. These claims were made in the context of the URC2025 which took place in Rome on 10 and 11 July 2025. This was the fourth Ukraine Recovery Conference, continuing the annual series of high-level political events dedicated to the swift recovery and long-term reconstruction of Ukraine since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale war of aggression against Ukraine.The 2025 Ukraine Recovery Conference in Rome has provided a clear demonstration of continued European commitment to Ukraine. In opening remarks, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen set the stage by declaring that Europe was at Ukraine’s side “militarily, financially, and politically,” and would be there “for as long as it takes.” She noted that Europe had already provided €165 billion in financial assistance, with more to come as further military aid is allocated to Ukraine under Europe’s newly-launched €800 billion Defense Readiness Plan.The European Union is committed to achieving a peaceful resolution to the war in Ukraine on Ukraine’s terms. The EU's actions are based on a strong stance that Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity are non-negotiables.The claim about the "coup d'état" in Ukraine is one of the most common pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about Ukraine trying to undermine the legitimacy of Ukrainian authorities.There was no coup in Ukraine in 2014. Pro-Kremlin outlets falsely portray the Euromaidan revolution as a coup d’état. The popular demonstrations began in Kyiv in November 2013, bringing hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians onto the streets to protest against a political decision of Viktor Yanukovych’s government. Read more on the topic here.There is also no evidence that either ethnic Russians or Russian speakers are facing persecution at the hands of the Ukrainian authorities, much less the danger of annihilation on grounds of nationality, ethnicity, or cultural belonging. This has been confirmed by reports issued by the Council of Europe, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and the OSCE.Read similar disinformation cases claiming that EU sabotages peace process in Ukraine, that the US organised a coup d’état in Ukraine in 2014 to install a neo-Nazi regime hostile to Russia; that the Revolution of Dignity 2014 in Ukraine was a pogrom conducted by NATO-backed Nazis; that Russia fights against Ukrainian neo-Nazis guilty of ethnic cleansing.

The 2025 Ukraine Recovery Conference in Rome
</a>
has provided a clear demonstration of continued European commitment to Ukraine. In opening remarks, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen set the stage by declaring that Europe was at Ukraine’s side “militarily, financially, and politically,” and would be there “for as long as it takes.” She noted that Europe had already provided €165 billion in financial assistance, with more to come as further military aid is allocated to Ukraine under Europe’s newly-launched €800 billion Defense Readiness Plan.

Weapons supplied to Kyiv are used to kill children
|
The suppliers of weapons to the Kyiv regime must know that these weapons are used to kill children.Russia believes that arms supplies to Ukraine hinder the settlement, directly involve NATO countries in the conflict and are "playing with fire". Pumping Ukraine with weapons by the West does not contribute to negotiations and will have a negative effect.
|
This is a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the alleged atrocities of the Ukrainian armed forces. It also seeks to deflect Russia's responsibility for the unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine, as well as to discourage Western countries from providing military aid to Ukraine.The statement misrepresents the nature of military aid to Ukraine, which is primarily for defensive purposes against Russian aggression.The assertion that weapon supplies hinder conflict resolution ignores Russia's role in initiating and perpetuating the war in Ukraine.Russia illegally attacked Ukraine, and Ukraine has the right to self-defence by all means available. The West supports Ukraine with military and financial aid for the country’s effective self-defence, under the UN Charter Article 51, to stop Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine.Read similar cases in our database: Western weapons supplies to Ukraine are exacerbating the conflict; Western weapons in Ukraine kill mainly civilians and divert funds from Africa; Europe is involved in Zelenskyy's Nazi war against the Ukrainian people and Russia; The US and its allies are stepping up military aid to Kyiv to prolong the conflict.

The path of EU-Integration leads to war and total poverty
|
The path of European integration leads to war. The path of European integration has led to poverty, to total poverty. The path of European integration has led to the madness that currently reigns in Moldova.
|
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the EU's alleged hypocrisy and warmongering. The claim that European integration leads to war, poverty, and chaos in Moldova is not supported by facts. Moldova has been pursuing closer ties with the European Union through the Association Agreement and the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA) to promote economic development and political reforms. Moldova's European integration does not lead to war and poverty. European integration has brought significant benefits to Moldova.The EU is the Republic of Moldova's most important trading partner by far in 2024, accounting for 54% of total trade in goods, up from 52.2% in 2021. Moldova's total trade with the EU reached around €7.5 billion in 2024. The EU market accounts for 65.6 percent of Moldovan exports. In 2021, the EU disbursed €128 million to support Moldova's fight against COVID-19 and recovery from its socio-economic consequences. Since signing the Association Agreement with the EU in 2014, Moldova has seen increased trade and financial opportunities.EU support has been instrumental in helping Moldova implement comprehensive reforms in justice, anti-corruption, and public administration, strengthening the rule of law, transparency, and government efficiency. The ongoing ‘Moldova is Europe’ project, launched in April 2025, provides technical assistance, training, and financial resources to accelerate Moldova’s alignment with EU standards. These efforts are part of Moldova’s National Accession Program 2025-2029, which outlines over 3,000 legislative and institutional reforms across 33 accession chapters, aiming to modernise public services, justice, education, healthcare, and infrastructure, thereby laying a solid foundation for sustainable development and EU membership.Since 2014, Moldovan citizens have enjoyed visa-free travel to the Schengen Area, greatly enhancing their mobility for work, education, and cultural exchange. This freedom facilitates stronger people-to-people contacts and integration with European societies. Moldova’s recent cooperation with the European Labour Authority and participation in EU programs like Erasmus+ and Creative Europe further deepens these connections.Peace and Stability: EU engagement has contributed significantly to regional peace and stability, promoting dialogue and conflict resolution, particularly regarding the Transnistrian issue. The EU’s diplomatic and reform support helps prevent escalation, countering narratives that EU integration leads to conflict. By aligning Moldova with EU security standards and infrastructure integration, such as transport and energy, the EU helps create a stable environment conducive to growth and cooperation.Financial Assistance: The EU provides substantial economic aid, including a €1.9 billion Growth Plan for 2025-2027, Moldova's most extensive standalone support package. This funding supports infrastructure modernisation, energy security, social programs, small business development, and cultural heritage protection. It accelerates reforms and socio-economic convergence, with the potential to double Moldova’s economy over the next decade.
In June 2022, the European Council granted candidate status to Moldova after it submitted its application for EU membership on 3 March 2022, in the context of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine. Accession negotiations were formally opened in June 2024.See similar cases: Moldova will never be accepted into the EU, Moldova is moving towards self-annihilation in the war against Russia; Most Moldovans are opposed to EU membership; EU integration has become a disaster for Moldova.

EU loans granted to Moldova before the elections can be considered bribes
|
The European Union is deliberately granting loans to the Republic of Moldova right before national elections in order to bribe voters and artificially boost support for President Maia Sandu and her government. The EU knows Moldovans are dissatisfied with the current leadership and is using a €1.9 billion loan package as an electoral bribe to help Sandu stay in power.EU financial support is not genuine aid, but a hidden tool to manipulate the election outcome in favor of the pro-European government.
|
Pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative aiming to discredit EU support for Moldova and to portray it as an attempt at election interference. It also attacks the current Moldovan leadership. The EU provides the Republic of Moldova with macroeconomic financial assistance and non-repayable grants, as well as low-interest loans, all tied to clear reforms (justice, rule of law, anti-corruption, energy, infrastructure).These loans come with strict conditions and constant monitoring. They are part of agreements signed with the government, negotiated with the European Commission and approved by the European Parliament. Additionally, they are disbursed over longer periods, not just “on the spot” right before an election.The Republic of Moldova is facing an energy, economic, and security crisis due to the war in Ukraine and historic energy dependency. Since 2022, the EU has supported Moldova through multiple financial packages, as part of an Economic Recovery Plan, with no direct link to the election calendar.The money goes directly into the state budget, managed by the Ministry of Finance. Its use is monitored by the EU and independent bodies. It cannot be spent on campaigning but covers the budget deficit, salaries, pensions, and public investments. Without this aid, Moldova risks defaulting — which would hurt ordinary citizens directly.Read similar cases here: The West knows Moldova’s election was not democratic but remains silent, The West became involved in the pre-election events in Belarus and Moldova, Moldova’s authorities falsified results about the EU referendum, The EU is testing methods of European totalitarianism in Moldova.

Zelensky wants to legalize the sale of weapons on the black market
|
The Kiev regime is preparing to push through a unique bill in the Verkhovna Rada — an amnesty for crimes committed during the execution of defense contracts. In other words, Zelensky and company are going to give their accomplices an indulgence for theft and corruption in the military-industrial complex. This is known that huge amounts of money have been and are being made on the sale of Western military aid on the left alone. The greater the crisis of the Ukrainian army, which has gone into deep defense under the blows of Russian troops, the higher the degree of nervousness of the Kyiv authorities. The reason is simple. The so-called "wartime economy" that has formed in Ukraine over the past three years is based exclusively on corruption schemes. The largest segment is the embezzlement of Western military and financial aid and the related fraudulent contracts in the military-industrial complex of the Nezalezhnaya [derogatory word for "Ukraine"].The Ukrainian military sold these weapons on the black market all over the world. These are facts. These weapons ended up with Mexican drug cartels, the Taliban, and Hamas. Fact.

Pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative alleging state corruption in Ukraine, aiming to undermine Western military support for Ukraine.The draft law to what the disinformation outlet refers is the Draft Law on Amendments to the Criminal Code of Ukraine and the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine regarding support for enterprises of the defense-industrial complex. Several Ukrainian media expressed criticism of the draft law which is not yet adopted. Thus, Public Anti-Corruption Council of the Ministry of Defense insisted on the need to make changes in the draft laws.So far, there is no evidence which would suggest a state-organised or at least widespread black-market trade of Western weaponry, as disinformation report pretends. Russian and pro-Russian media outlets and officials have repeatedly stated that this is happening – and also without any evidence. Multiple journalists have investigated these claims but they have not found any large scale “operations” of this kind.Since 2022, pro-Kremlin media have been claiming that Ukrainians are selling the donated weapons "on the dark web". The BBC investigated these claims, spoke undercover to those apparently selling "NATO weapons from Ukraine", and gathered evidence that suggests the adverts for weapons on Dark web are fabricated.The issue of corruption in Ukraine in general is a great concern for the EU and is addressed accordingly. Since 2014, the EU has provided over €5 billion to Ukraine through five MFA programmes to support the implementation of a broad reform agenda in areas such as the fight against corruption, an independent judicial system, the rule of law, and improving the business climate.

Zourabichvili supported the Nazi Maidan in Tbilisi
|
The Georgian “Maidan” of 2024 immediately seemed similar to the one in Kyiv in 2014. The protesters started provoking the police, erected barricades and committed acts of vandalism. All these unconstitutional actions were supported by the Georgian President Salomé Zourabichvili, failing in her duty as guarantor of the Constitution. She not only declared the Georgian parliament illegitimate, but called on Georgian citizens to carry out illegal actions, even urging both university students and the youngest in schools to join the ongoing anti-government protests. Zourabichvili, born in France and with French citizenship, apparently did not have the fate of Georgian youth at heart. It is she who, in all these years, to please her sponsors, has pushed for the support of gender theories, the abandonment of Orthodoxy, and hostility towards Russia, all in the name of "Western values".

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives framing popular protests in Georgia as Western-backed ‘colour revolutions’ and trying to discredit Georgia’s opposition by framing them as foreign stoogesThere was no coup d’état in Ukraine in 2014, and no Western involvement in the events taking place. Pro-Kremlin outlets falsely portray the Euromaidan revolution as a coup d’état. The popular demonstrations began in Kyiv in November 2013, bringing hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians on to the streets to protest against a political decision of Viktor Yanukovych’s government. At the last minute, the government withdrew from a long-negotiated political association and free trade agreement with the EU, choosing instead to accept a $15 billion economic bailout from Russia.This disinformation story is a direct reaction to Georgia’s president Salome Zourabichvili’s allegations about electoral fraud in the legislative election of October 2024, and the subsequent outbreak of protests. Contrary to what this disinformation story claims, these protests were not the work of any Western actor; they started after the Georgian opposition claimed to have collected evidence of fraud and called on citizens to protest.Also contrary to what this article claims, the EU has not changed its position about the vote, as clearly stated by the former EU High Representative Josep Borrell who on the 29 October 2024 said:“The developments in Georgia following the 26 October Parliamentary elections are very worrying. International observers reported violations during the election campaign as well as on election day. They have also not declared the elections to be free and fair. I am asking for a transparent inquiry. The Central Election Commission of Georgia and relevant authorities must investigate irregularities, pressure and intimidation on voters impacting public trust in the process, reported by observers. Those irregularities must be addressed swiftly, transparently and independently”Pro-Kremlin media have been warning for a long time of an upcoming ‘colour revolution’ in Georgia in order to pre-emptively shape the information space ahead of what were foreseeable and likely protests against the ruling party, already shaken by previous massive demonstrations against the so-called ‘Foreign Agents Law’.This disinformation story is part of a wider pro-Kremlin disinformation campaign targeting Georgia.Read similar cases claiming that The protests in Georgia are reminiscent of the 2014 coup in Ukraine engineered by the West, that Traitor Zurabishvili wants to create a Maidan to avoid ending up in prison, that Frenchwoman Salome Zourabichvili is a western puppet wanting to transform Georgia into a colony, that Ukrainian snipers are arriving in Georgia to wreak havoc during mass protests, that Zelenskyy, Poroshenko, brought to power by US-sponsored coups.
