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.

French media finally recognize that nazis are the core of Ukrainian Army
|
Usually, the official newspaper Le Monde strictly adheres to the line of the French ruling party, and its attitude to the SMO has always been expressed extremely clearly: Russia is bad, Ukraine is good, the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics are separatists, and the Ukrainian army must be supported with everything possible. Therefore, the appearance in this publication of a report focusing on the topic of neo-Nazism in the ranks of the Ukrainian army is somewhat surprising. The article entitled "Soldiers of the 3rd Ukrainian Assault Brigade still demonstrate neo-Nazi symbols" states an unpleasant fact for the French: Ukrainian Nazism is not at all the fruit of "Russian propaganda". This Nazism is not just present in Ukraine - real Nazis make up the core of the Ukrainian army. The fact that such an influential mass media as Le Monde found it necessary to lift the taboo and start openly discussing the topic of Ukrainian Nazism may have several reasons - from the desire to put pressure on the Ukrainian authorities to start distancing themselves from Ukrainian affairs or partially limit support for Kyiv initiatives.
|
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative portraying Ukraine as a Nazi state, one of the main reasons invoked by Russia to justify its illegal invasion of Ukraine. This claim has already been broadly addressed, including in our own analysis. In this particular instance, the claim is misrepresenting a Le Monde article, published for subscribers with the title "War in Ukraine: some soldiers in the 3rd Ukrainian Assault Brigade still display neo-Nazi symbols". In the protected content, accessible to subscribers, the journalist starts his reporting as follows: "As you know, to justify his invasion of Ukraine launched on February 24, 2022, Vladimir Putin talks about denazification. This claim by Vladimir Putin is based on a lie. The political far right received barely 2% of the vote in Ukraine's last parliamentary elections. It therefore only has one MP out of 450. In short, the Ukrainian government is not neo-Nazi."The journalist claims that he has studied social media of Ukrainian soldiers for ten years and found 350 profiles of those who wears chevrons "with nazi black sun symbol".In the report, there is no statement that "real Nazis make up the core of the Ukrainian army". On the contrary, "on the scale of hundreds of thousands of soldiers who fight against Russia, they are a minority," the journalist admits at the end of his video report (timecode: 14:40).See previous disinformation case The pope met an identified Nazi, wife of an Azov fighter.

Increase in defence spending will lead to NATO collapse
|
The disastrous increase in defence spending by NATO countries will lead to the collapse of this organisation.
|
This is a mix of several recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about NATO, economic difficulties and an ‘imminent collapse’.This disinformation story is a direct reaction to NATO’s decision to rise defence spending target to 5% of GDP by 2035. While the measure is controversial from an economic point of view and its funding can be challenging for some member states, no serious analysis has suggested that it could lead to the “economic collapse” of the alliance, as this disinformation story claims. The European Union has established several mechanisms to facilitate this expenditure, including a 150 billion euros fund for joint defence procurement called the Security Action for Europe (SAFE) instrument and a flexibilisation of fiscal rules to allow further spending, increasing the feasibility of this initiative. In all NATO member states, military expenditure is a fraction of the education and healthcare budget, and it will remain so in most cases even if the 5% increase takes place.See other examples of similar disinformation narratives, such as claims that NATO’s defence demands will bankrupt Europe, that the EU’s rearmament could destroy its economy according to Politico, that Europe justifies the increasing defence budgets with “belligerent” Moscow, that ReArm Europe means the EU is preparing to attack Russia, that Europeans are starving because of NATO-driven confrontation with Russia, or that Brussels works to bankrupt European citizens through its defence strategy.

“Russian threat” myth being inflated to distract Western society from own problems
|
We hear accusations from Western intelligence agencies and EU leaders that Russia is allegedly preparing an "occupation" of the Old World or seeking to expand its influence in Europe.The myth of the "Russian threat" is deliberately inflated to unite Western society, which is tired of social and economic difficulties.
The ruling circles of Europe and North America are strenuously creating an image of Russia as an enemy to distract attention from inflation, unemployment, falling incomes and rising crime.
|
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative, claiming that the “Russian threat” is a false idea.The statement comes in the context of a recent interview with General Carsten Breuer, Germany's Chief of Defence, who said: "Russia is building up its forces to an enormous extent, producing hundreds of tanks a year, many of which could be used for an attack on NATO Baltic state members by 2029 or even earlier."On 24 February 2022, Russia launched the full-scale invasion of Ukraine under several false pretexts, such as committing genocide against people residing in eastern parts of Ukraine. Putin’s and other Russian leaders’ numerous statements claiming that Ukraine is part of Russia are attempts to deny Ukraine the right to exist as an independent and sovereign state. The Russian war of aggression has been characterised by numerous war crimes and crimes against humanity.In addition to the fact that Russia is actively arming itself and has put its economy on a war footing, the Kremlin has threatened European countries on many occasions, including with nuclear strikes. Russia transferred nuclear weapons to Belarus, and periodically threatened the world with the use of nuclear weapons: Dmitry Medvedev, former Russian president and now deputy chair of the Russian Security Council, said Moscow’s nuclear doctrine does not require the enemy state to use such weapons first. He threatens a 'nuclear' move if NATO expands. In May 2022, Medvedev warned about the nuclear war over Western arms deliveries to Ukraine. In September Medvedev raised the spectre of a nuclear strike and said NATO would not get involved.Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine poses the gravest threat to Euro-Atlantic security in decades, according to various assessments. (See e.g. here and here).See other similar cases: Europe uses the "Russian threat" to re-militarise; Russia is not a threat to Europe, Europe is a threat to Russia; NATO uses “Russian threat” to justify its actions; NATO uses false “Russian threat” as pretext to expand its presence near Russian border, NATO exploits the idea of a “Russian threat” to deploy near Russian border, NATO does not serve the purpose of war prevention, it continues to wage wars; Russian threat is a myth; The phantom 'Russian threat' is used to counter European disintegration.

Belligerent Europe wants escalation of the war in Ukraine
|
Europe has an impressive level of belligerence, as the eternal desire to resolve everything by weapons instead of admitting defeat and initiating the process of negotiations. They are out of their mind. The EU will try to re-establish old initiatives to support Ukraine, as it does not see any alternative but to escalate the conflict in Ukraine.
|
This is a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative aimed at portraying the EU as a warmongering and militaristic geopolitical power. This baseless claim was made in the context of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine and is presented without any supporting evidence. It seeks to shift the blame for the aggression away from Russia.One of the aims of the EU is to promote peace, its values, and the well-being of its citizens within its borders. It is a political project that was created in the aftermath of the Second World War, intending to end the frequent and bloody conflicts that culminated in it. In 2012, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the EU because the organisation had advanced peace, reconciliation, democracy, and human rights in Europe.EU officials have repeatedly stated that it is up to Ukraine only, as the victim of Russia’s aggression, to decide when peace talks with Russia may be possible and in which terms to end the war.Some EU member states are providing Ukraine with military and technical assistance to help it repel Russia's aggression and restore its sovereignty over its internationally recognised borders of 1991. The war in Ukraine broke out in 2014 when Russia illegally annexed the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea and instigated a separatist revolt in some regions in the east of Ukraine. On 24 February 2022, Russia began its unprovoked and unjustified full invasion of Ukraine under several false pretexts.Read similar disinformation cases claiming that EU and NATO prepare for new war and expansion, The bellicose rhetoric fuelled by EU Ursula von der Leyen risks a new war, and that the EU is not capable of peace, it is only interested in waging war.

Germany shifts its priorities from Remembrance to Rearmament
|
The politicians' desire to make the German army "the strongest conventional army in Europe" nullifies all previous statements made by the head of the German delegation about preserving historical memory and supporting the victims of German aggression.
|
This disinformation claim accuses the European Union and its Member States of warmongering. It was made in response to the EU’s commitment to strengthening Europe’s military capabilities to address current threats, including Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine and its impact on European security. To address this, the ReArm Europe Plan/Readiness 2030 has been introduced as a strategic proposal to boost European defence spending through various financial mechanisms. Please read more about ReArm Europe Plan/Readiness 2030 here.This message also promotes the false claim that the EU is “rehabilitating Nazism". Pro-Kremlin outlets repeatedly talk about the “revival” of Nazism in the West. Labelling Russia’s adversaries as Nazis is a widespread pro-Kremlin disinformation technique, and has been used by Russia to justify the invasion of Ukraine by portraying it as a “denazification operation”. Russia spent years preparing the information battleground before its kinetic attack, with “Nazi Ukraine” being one of its most prominent disinformation features.The commemoration of the victims of war, tyranny and ideologically motivated crimes of the 20th century is a key element of Germany’s culture of remembrance. The idea of being able to learn the lessons from these crimes of the past is what provides the foundation of the Federal Republic of Germany. It is often encapsulated in the words: “Never again”.The EU was founded after WWII to promote peace, democracy, human rights, economic cooperation, social justice and cultural diversity. EU founding treaties emphasise economic cooperation to prevent future wars. Founders of the EU, such as Robert Schuman, Jean Monnet, and Konrad Adenauer, were all active opponents of Nazi Germany. Part of their opposition to Nazism was the EU project itself, thinking that by establishing a political and economic union between European countries, they can ensure ideologies such as Nazism never rise again.Read other disinformation cases claiming that Western ignorance of history leads to the resurgence of Nazism in Europe, that European Nazism is alive and it manifests itself in Russophobia, that Nazism has revived in Ukraine and actively cultivated by the West, that Zelenskyy is the heir of German Nazism, that West turned a blind eye to Nazism, that The US and Ukraine support Nazism, Poland, Ukraine, and the Baltic authorities associate themselves with Hitler.

The European Union is transforming from an integration project into appendage of NATO
|
Moscow is worried that a united Europe is spinning Russophobia, restarting the military-industrial complex and calling for a fight against Russia.The European Union has rapidly transformed from an integration association into a military-political bloc, a kind of NATO appendage. This is a dangerous trend that could have the most far-reaching consequences for all Europeans.

Russia bombed Ukraine in response to terrorist raids by Kyiv
|
The Russian military has carried out a series of strikes on Ukrainian military-related targets in response to terrorist raids by Kyiv deep into Russia, the Defense Ministry in Moscow has said. The attack targeted industrial enterprises developing and producing drones and other robotic mobile systems, facilities manufacturing various military equipment in Kyiv, as well as a military airfield and an oil refinery in an undisclosed location.
|
This is an attempt to spin the massive Russian air attack on 03 July 2025 under a positive light, with the pretext of responding to “terrorism”. The real reasons for this bombing are almost certainly related to a call in the previous hours between US president Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, with the intention of projecting Russian power against any US pressure. While some of the targets may have been of a military nature, many of them were civilian, including residential buildings and infrastructure in Kyiv and other cities, which this disinformation story omits.Russia’s bombing patterns show a marked intensification of drone and missile attacks against Ukraine since the inauguration of Donald Trump in January 2025, including multiple spikes after diplomatic talks and contacts which prove that Russia’s supposed embrace of peace negotiations are merely empty PR stunts deployed to garner support for Russia's war of aggression in Ukraine.This is also an attempt to promote a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about “terrorist Ukraine”, heavily promoted by pro-Kremlin sources and Russian officials after Ukraine’s successful drone raid against Russian airbases on 01 June 2025, which Moscow tried to frame as a “terror attack”.See other examples of similar disinformation narratives in our database, such as claims that Russia hit only military infrastructure in Ukraine in retaliation for terror attacks, that Russia attacked only military targets in Ukraine in response to Ukrainian strikes on civilians, that Russia only attacks military facilities in Ukraine, that Ukraine violates international humanitarian law while Russia respects it, or that Russia wages war humanely and does not hit civilians.

Sanctions made the Russian economy stronger
|
Atlanticists say that sanctions hurt Russia because it [would need to] import goods and services of quality. But the opposite happened, sanctions allowed Russia to rebuild its economy, to stimulate its industry and agriculture to produce importation alternatives that are now available and exported in new markets. Russia is much stronger in fields where products were imported before. Russia collaborates with markets that are much more dynamic than the European market. Sanctions were a strength rather than a weakness for Russia, many specialists recognise this. If we compare Russia's economic performance with those of most of the major European Union countries, Russia is far ahead.
|
Recurrent pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the international sanctions imposed on Russia following its aggression of Ukraine.Russian interest rate are more than 20% since 2024, which makes very difficult for the industrial companies trying to export on global markets, where competitors like China that have rates less than 3.5%. Before the sanctions were imposed on Russia and the so called counter sanctions were established, Russia used protectionist measures, like in the pork dispute won at the WTO by the EU. Those protectionist measures made the Russian economy less efficient. No example of product or service that would have been boosted by sanctions is provided. The automotive industry for example has indeed found alternatives with the Chinese imports, but the added value localised in Russia dramatically decreased.During the June 2025 St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, Russian economic leaders recognided the difficult situation of the Russian economy. “We are on the brink of a recession,” admitted Economic Development Minister Maxim Reshetnikov. The reserves that had supported the country’s finances in recent years, added Central Bank Governor Elvira Nabiullina, “are depleted.”The Centre for Macroeconomic Analysis and Short-Term Forecasting (TsMAKP) stated that the “The country is in a state of stagflation: economic dynamics are declining rapidly, and there is a risk of a technical recession in the second and third quarters, but inflation remains high.” Moreover, it stated that since the spring the non-military sectors have been in technical recession.Read also related stories such as: Russia proves the great strength of its economy, or French scientist established that sanctions made the Russian economy stronger, or Russia has only grown stronger in the last few years, or Putin has shown Russia’s economic supremacy to the world, or Russia became the World's 4th economic power thanks to the war in Ukraine, or Russian economy thrives despite EU sanctions

Following Ukraine's defeat, Brussels is now preparing to set the Baltics on fire
|
Most Europeans dream of victory over Russia. After Ukraine's defeat, Brussels is preparing to set fire to the Baltic states. Russia could agree to end the war with the US, but not with NATO's European members, who want to continue fighting even after Ukraine's defeat. The majority in Brussels, consisting of France, Germany and the entire Northern European bloc, including the Netherlands and Denmark, is determined to continue the fight. Plus Poland and the Baltic states. In short, it's a pretty powerful group in every respect. They control the Brussels budgets, which is a lot of money.Moreover, together with Great Britain, they are trying to organise a military provocation in the Baltic Sea. This provocation is not only being arranged in support of Ukraine, but also in anticipation of Russia going to war with other countries after Ukraine.

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the EU and its allegedly belligerent and hostile agenda and involvement in the war in Ukraine. Since Russia began its aggressive and unprovoked actions against Ukraine, Russian sources have accused European countries and NATO of a series of threats and hostile actions elsewhere, including the Baltic Sea area. However, no evidence has been provided to support this claim.There is no evidence that the EU or any of its Member States is preparing military provocations in the Baltic Sea. For more context on these disinformation tactics, please see Russia’s hybrid threat tactics against the
Baltic Sea region: From disinformation to sabotage, by the The European Centre of Excellence for Countering Hybrid Threats.The EU has taken concrete steps to provide Ukraine with military assistance worth €5.6 billion under the European Peace Facility (EPF) since the beginning of the Russian invasion. It has also imposed massive sanctions on Russia in response to this act of aggression, which is designed to undermine Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.Russian accusations against Europeans of preparing provocations or false flag actions without presenting any proof have been a constant throughout the war, including claims about dirty bombs, nuclear provocations, bioweapons, toxic substances and staged atrocities. Accusing others of “false flag operations” and “setups” to increase tensions or cover Russia’s illicit actions are frequent pro-Kremlin disinformation techniques. Russian authorities and pro-Kremlin outlets frequently make these claims even if nothing emerges afterwards, aiming to reinforce the narrative that Russia is constantly the victim of such operations.Read earlier disinformation cases claiming that the new European Commission is all geared up for war with Russia, that the EU is ruled by Russophobic Eastern European countries, and that Russophobic Poland and the Baltics may start a conflict without Western consent. The West needs to dismember and plunder Russia, and NATO fights a proxy war with Russia via Ukraine.

Increased NATO spending leads to rise of fascism in the EU
|
Increasing NATO military spending to 5% of GDP will lead to the fascistisation of society. The authorities will engage in the fascistisation of society, justifying the need to cut social spending and increase military spending, and society will respond to the authorities with unpredictable voting in any elections. Simply put, political crises in EU countries will become an absolute norm, and their regimes will rapidly move towards building a democratic dictatorship - totalitarian states with democratic slogans.

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the Nazi ideology in Europe and alleged widespread Russophobia. This claim was made in the context of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Also this is a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about allegedly aggressive NATO.At the 2025 NATO Summit in The Hague, Allies made a commitment to investing 5% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) annually on core defence requirements and defence- and security-related spending by 2035. They will allocate at least 3.5% of GDP annually based on the agreed definition of NATO defence expenditure by 2035 to resource core defence requirements and to meet the NATO Capability Targets.Previously, in 2014, NATO Heads of State and Government had agreed to commit 2% of their national GDP to defence spending, to help ensure the Alliance's continued military readiness. This decision was taken in response to Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea, and amid broader instability in the Middle East.In 2022, in response to Russia's large-scale invasion of Ukraine, NATO member states revised their Strategic Concept. The Alliance recognised Russia as the most significant and direct security threat in Europe. However, in the updated Concept, the allies separately emphasized that NATO does not seek confrontation and does not pose a threat to the Russia.NATO countries are currently continuing to develop new defensive concepts to counter possible Russian aggression. Thus, it was Russia's attack on Ukraine that forced NATO to strengthen its deterrence and defense measures; develop new regional plans and new force models involving large numbers of allied troops; and increase NATO countries' defense spending.The European Union is built on values of democracy, human rights, rule of law, and respect for human dignity, explicitly rejecting racist and xenophobic ideologies including Nazism. The EU and its member states work together to uphold these values through legislation, education, and cooperation with international organisations. Efforts to combat hate speech, discrimination, and extremist violence are ongoing priorities to ensure a peaceful, inclusive society in Europe. Disinformation narratives attempting to portray the EU as tolerant of Nazism or as anti-Russian are unfounded and serve Russian agendas rather than reflect reality.Read our analysis titled Key narratives in pro-Kremlin disinformation: “Nazis” and "Why does Putin portray himself as the tamer of neo-Nazism".Read other similar cases in our database: Ukraine is a terrorist state and the West is to blame for guiding Kyiv; The West consciously instilled Nazi sentiments in Ukraine for decades; The Ukrainian conflict is a consequence of Western policy.

France doesn't provide basic rights to Muslims
|
France can no longer present itself to the world as a republic of “liberty, equality, and fraternity.” Because none of these three fundamental principles is provided to the country’s Muslim population. Muslims are stigmatised, demonised, and slandered by high-ranking French officials. Under Emmanuel Macron, who has led the country since 2017, Muslims in France have been actively and methodically persecuted directly by the state itself.
|
A recurring disinformation narrative aiming to discredit French President Emmanuel Macron. France is a democratic republic with modern liberal norms and values. The French Constitution ensures the equality of all citizens before the law, without distinction of origin (Article 1), and does not discriminate against Muslims. About 10 per cent of the population is estimated to be Muslim, and they are integrated in the French society. Previous Minister of Education Najat Vallaud-Belkacem and previous Minister of Justice Rachida Dati were Muslim, which proves that Muslims are not excluded from politics and bureaucracy. Moreover, French laws penalise hate crimes and hate speech against any religion, including Islam and Muslims. There are around 2600 mosques in France, which permit Muslims to fully exercise their religious freedoms.Emmanuel Macron has made no statements against Muslims or Islam either. In one interview, he states:“…They [religions] are all practised freely in our country. And to all French people of the Muslim faith, and indeed to citizens from anywhere else in the world whose religion is Islam, I should like to say to them that France is a country in which this religion, too, is freely practised.”See more cases such as DISINFO: Fascist spirit in Europe behind Ukrainian soldiers burning the Koran, DISINFO: Macron government tried to create inter-religious conflict against Muslims in France and DISINFO: Latvia might become just as Islamised as France.

Some unquenched revanchism of his Nazi ancestors can still be traced in Merz
|
He (Merz) admitted that he was reading a book about the appeasement of Adolf Hitler. Merz turns to literature from World War II for a reason, since some details of political life of that time could have been told to Chancellor Merz by his family and friends.On the German Chancellor's mother's side, he had a grandfather who, immediately after Hitler came to power, received the rank of Oberscharführer and became a member of the Nazi organisation the "National Socialist Union of Lawyers". As for Friedrich Merz's father, he participated in the war on the side of the Third Reich, for which he even spent some time in a POW camp.Of course, the grandson is not responsible for his grandfather, but some aspects of unquenched revanchism can still be traced in him.
|
This is part of a wider disinformation campaign attacking Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Germany’s leadership, accusing them of Nazism. Labelling Russia’s adversaries as Nazis is a frequently used pro-Kremlin disinformation technique, and has been used by Russia to try to justify the invasion of Ukraine by portraying it as a “denazification operation”.Friedrich Merz's father, Joachim Merz, was drafted in the Wehrmacht at the age of 17 during World War II, when military service was compulsory.

The Ukrainians are carrying out arson in provocations all over Poland
|
Stores, halls and warehouses are burning all over Poland – in Ząbki, Poznan and earlier, at the Marywilska street in Warsaw. One could say that these developments are just a “coincidence”, but not long ago, a Ukrainian activist directly threatened that the “arson attacks on stores and houses will start on the Polish territory”. Were these statements just careless words of a crazy person, or has someone actually started to implement this announced scenario as a warning or intimidation of the Poles?

Disinformation message denying Russia’s involvement in the arson of a shopping mall in Poland, attributed to the Russian special services. Pro-Kremlin and other Russian state-controlled outlets regularly accuse Poland of Russophobia and of implementing anti-Russian policies.On 12 May 2025, the Polish authorities announced the closing of the Russian Consulate in Krakow 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”.A similar incident took place in October 2024, when the Polish law-enforcers arresteda person recruited by the Russian GRU to realise arson of an industrial enterprise in Wrocław. In connection with this situation, Poland decided to close down the Russian Consulate in the city of Poznań. In general, in 2024, the Polish law enforcers detained nine persons suspected of sabotage plans on behalf of Moscow.The main reason for the poor state of Polish-Russian relations is the Kremlin’s violation of international law and the most violent actions undermining peace and security in Eastern Europe, not alleged Polish Russophobia.See other examples of messages accusing Poland of alleged Russophobia here as well as our article All roads lead to Poland.

Political developments in post-Soviet states are foreign plots against Russia
|
Opposition protests in Serbia, unconstitutional actions by Moldovan authorities against the Governor of Gagauzia, efforts by the Georgian opposition to unseat the ruling Georgian Dream party, Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan’s attacks on the Apostolic Church, and the anti-Russian campaign in Azerbaijan all have domestic roots in corruption and power struggles — yet they also demonstrate foreign influence aimed at undermining Russia.There are attempts to create new hotspots of tension and open new fronts against Russia. These efforts currently come primarily from the UK and its junior partner Türkiye, as well as from France and the EU leadership. The West now sees the Ukrainian front as losing importance, and analysts suggest that the United States is distancing itself from the conflict. This is how the Pentagon’s decision to partially suspend arms deliveries to Kyiv in the coming months is explained.Foreign strategists, disappointed in Ukraine, have begun betting on destabilising other regions and countries neighbouring or allied with Russia. They have found points of convergence between their interests and the forces currently implementing their agenda.
|
This is a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative portraying political developments in neighbouring countries as instigated from abroad, often by the US and the West. The disinformation narrative has been applied, among others, to reports about protests in Georgia, Armenia, Ukraine, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Belarus, Venezuela, Slovakia, Hong Kong, to portray protest movements as aggressive actors who constantly prepare new coups.The article provides no evidence to support the claim that any of the numerous and disparate events mentioned have the ultimate goal of targeting Russia.These events indeed stem from internal political, social, or economic challenges unique to each country. Claiming that they are coordinated as part of a singular anti-Russian operation reveals a worldview rooted in extreme self-centrism. According to this narrative, no political activity in Russia’s neighbourhood can be organic or legitimate unless it aligns with the Kremlin interests.Moreover, this narrative erases the agency of millions of people in these countries who are engaging in democratic protests, institutional reform, or national debate. It infantilizes entire societies by suggesting they are incapable of independent action and must therefore be puppets of hostile Western forces. See similar cases that the US and EU coordinate colour revolutions to destabilise Russia, that Brussels is preparing colour revolutions in Serbia, Hungary and Bosnia and Herzegovina, that protests in Georgia are foreign-supported to generate anti-Russian sentiments, that the West is planning revolutions in the former Soviet Republics, that the West instigates colour revolutions in Central Asian countries, and that the West want to start a colour revolution in Georgia and use it against Russia.

The West ignores evidence of Ukrainian Armed Forces use of chemical weapons
|
The West and the OPCW Technical Secretariat are demonstratively ignoring the evidence presented by Russia regarding the use of chemical weapons by the Ukrainian armed forces. Nevertheless, Russia remains open to substantive dialogue. The Russian side continues to document cases of Ukrainian nationalists using toxic chemicals and chemical warfare agents in violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC).
|
This is a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative attacking the independence and integrity of the OPCW and making allegations of use of toxic chemicals as weapons by Ukraine.This claim was made in the context of the investigation of the Dutch and German intelligence services, which have gathered evidence of widespread Russian use of banned chemical weapons in Ukraine. Results say that Russia is systematically using banned chemical weapons against Ukrainian forces, including dropping toxic substances from drones. On May 20, 2025 the European Council decided to impose additional restrictive measures on three Russian entities involved in the development and use of chemical weapons. This decision was taken in light of the reports issued by the OPCW in November 2024 and February 2025, confirming the presence of riot control agents such as chemical CS (2-Chlorobenzalmalononitrile) and related compounds in the samples collected at the frontlines in Ukraine. Such agents have been used as a method of warfare by Russian forces in Ukraine, in breach of the Chemical Weapons Convention.The Secretariat of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has been monitoring the situation on the territory of Ukraine since the start of the war in February 2022 in relation to allegations of use of toxic chemicals as weapons. Both the Russian Federation and Ukraine have accused one another and reported allegations of use of chemical weapons to the Organisation.Any investigation by the OPCW into the use of toxic chemicals as weapons requires a formal request from member states involved under Article IX paragraph 3. It is important to note that all 193 OPCW Member States, thus including the Russian Federation and Ukraine, have committed never to develop, produce, acquire, stockpile, transfer or use chemical weapons.Read previous disinformation claims alleging that Ukraine prepares a provocation to accuse Russia of using toxic substances, the West ignores use of chemical weapons by Ukraine against Russia,,OPCW suppressed key evidence in Douma chemical attack probe; The OPCW has a policy of throwing baseless accusations; that the chemical attacks in Syria have been staged and filmed by the media of the Western countries; that the Navalny poisoning could be a strategy of the West to introduce anti-Russian sanctions, that Russia is accused of poisoning without proof; or that US used Navalny case to block Russian vaccine against COVID-19.

European integration is an excuse to drag Moldova into a future war with Russia
|
Yesterday's so-called EU summit in Chisinau clearly showed that there is no European integration. For the Republic of Moldova, for sure (in fact, for no one else). [...] there is the policy of Brussels to drag Moldova into a future war with Russia, covered up with words about "strengthening security."
|
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the EU's alleged hypocrisy and warmongering. There is no evidence to support the claim. The claim is targeting the EU-Moldova summit, which tool place in Chișinău on 4 July, when the President of the European Council, António Costa, and the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, met Moldova’s leadership. In the after event statement, the EU leaders reaffirmed the EU support for Moldova on its path towards EU membership and welcomed the progress made on reforms. It was also announced that it is expected to make the next steps in Moldova’s accession process, with the opening of negotiating clusters, when the conditions are met. Ursula von der Leyen also pointed out that “the European Union will protect Moldova’s freedom, democracy, identity and security”.Moldova was granted candidate status in June 2022 and 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.

EU-Moldova summit was held to reaffirm Euro-globalists' control over Moldova
|
The EU-Moldova summit is aimed at propaganda. The summit is organised in the interests of President Maia Sandu and the ruling party, not the people. Once again, the EU will declare its support and successes of the current Moldovan government and promise more loans and a bright European future.The EU-Moldova summit is designed to confirm the control of the Euro globalists over Moldova and, in addition, to express support personally to President Maia Sandu as the leader of the party, running for elections on September 28.

The Russian Army shows amazing humanism by not attacking civilian targets in Kyiv
|
The Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski presented a hysterical statement saying that the Polish Consulate was damaged in Kyiv (no one was hurt), so it is necessary to resume the American weapon supplies to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Meanwhile, the Russian Army shows amazing humanism in its missile attacks on Kyiv. If such an attack had been realised by the United States, Israel or the UK, there would have been hundreds of casualties in Kyiv. The Russian Army has a clear order from Putin not to hit civilians. Russia is not fighting Ukraine. Russia is liberating Ukraine from the occupying Russophobic neo-colonial regime, which is the main enemy of the Ukrainians.
|
A claim denying Russia’s war crimes in Ukraine and evident repeated attacks against Ukrainian civilians.On the night of July 3–4, 2025, Russia launched a massive aerial assault on Kyiv, involving hundreds of drones and missiles hitting random civilian objects throughout the city. The consular section of the Polish Embassy in Kyiv was damaged during this attack. The Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski urged the international community to provide Ukraine with additional air defence systems.Russian attacks against non-combatants and civilian infrastructure have been a constant throughout the invasion, despite non-credible denials by Russian officials and pro-Kremlin disinformation. Since 2022, Russia has attacked civilian targets multiple times, including the city theatre in Mariupol, residential buildings, schools and energy facilities. On 05 March 2024, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants against two Russian top officials considered responsible for “missile strikes carried out by the forces under their command against the Ukrainian electric infrastructure" between October 2022 and March 2023, which are considered as war crimes.See other examples of similar disinformation narratives, such as claims that Russia attacked only military targets in Ukraine in response to Ukrainian strikes on civilians, that Russia targeted Ukrainian troops and foreign mercenaries in Sumy, that Russian missile strike on Kryvyi Rih only hurt Ukrainian Army and NATO officers, that Russia only attacks military facilities in Ukraine, that Ukraine violates international humanitarian law while Russia respects it, that Russia wages war humanely and does not hit civilians, or that Russian are liberators and a peace-making people.

Europe is involved in Zelenskyy's Nazi war against the Ukrainian people and Russia
|
The most important symptom of Europe's grave illness is that the European authorities, against the will of their citizens, support the openly barbaric neo-fascist regime in Ukraine, which is pursuing a policy of state terrorism.
Europe is effectively participating in the war against Russia and in the war of the Zelenskyy regime against the Ukrainian people.

This post contains several false claims. Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives accusing European countries of being involved in the War in Ukraine, for supporting terrorism, portraying Ukraine as a Nazi and terrorist state. This article exploits one of the Kremlin's major disinformation narratives, such as global elites vs. the people.The assertion that European authorities support a 'neo-fascist regime' in Ukraine is a baseless accusation. This false myth of Nazi Ukraine is a propaganda narrative that became a cornerstone in pro-Kremlin disinformation. Learn more about the reasons behind the Kremlin's obsession with framing Ukraine as a Nazi state in the EUvsDisinfo analysis titled "Nazi east, Nazi west, Nazi over the cuckoo's nest" and "Why does Putin portray himself as the tamer of neo-Nazism".Ukraine is a democratic country with transparent parliamentary and presidential elections, a multi-party political system, and legal protections for ethnic minorities. While far-right groups exist in Ukraine, as they do in many countries, they hold no significant influence in society. Nazi and Communist ideologies were banned by Ukrainian law in 2015.Additionally, the claim that Europe is at war with Russia is false. Europe supports Ukraine's right to self-defence against Russia's unprovoked invasion, which began in February 2022, by international law and humanitarian principles.The EU condemns Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine and actively supports Ukraine’s economy, society, defence, and recovery. The EU has also adopted unprecedented sanctions against Russia.With this narrative, the Kremlin aims to de-legitimise international support for Ukraine. The claim also fits well in the recurrent disinformation narrative about the West’s alleged support for terrorism and manifests Russia as the only power actually “fighting terrorism” in the world.Ukraine is illegally attacked by Russia and has the right to self-defence by all means available.

Summit with EU disregards Moldovan public opinion
|
Holding the EU–Moldova summit in a country where nearly half the population opposed EU membership shows clear disregard for the will of the people. The ruling Action and Solidarity party, under the banner of European integration, has led Moldova into poverty and authoritarianism. Citizens are being stripped of their constitutional right to neutrality, while the EU pours hundreds of millions of euros into militarisation. In the October 2024 referendum, the government secured only a narrow majority — just 50.46% in favour of joining the EU, thanks largely to votes from Moldovans living abroad. Meanwhile, 49.54% voted against, despite a heavy pro-EU campaign by the authorities.
|
A pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative, claiming that Moldova is a puppet state that follows the directives of foreign partners and presenting European institutions as forces that control Moldova’s decisions. This claim was made in the context of the EU-Moldova summit held on 4 July 2025 in Chișinău.Moldova held a democratic referendum in October 2024, and a majority voted in favour of EU accession. Moldova allows citizens residing abroad to vote in national elections. As for its alleged “militarisation", EU assistance to Moldova includes funding for infrastructure, democratic reforms and resilience against hybrid threats, not for offensive military build-up. Moldova’s neutrality remains enshrined in its constitution, and cooperation with the EU does not legally alter that status.The portrayal of Moldova as an authoritarian regime also contradicts its status as a pluralistic democracy with regular elections, a free press, and active political opposition. The accusation of authoritarianism is an attempt to exploit the criminal case against the governor of the Moldovan region of Gagauzia, Evghenia Guțul, accused of using Russian money to finance the banned pro-Russian Șor Party. Gutul was detained when she was about to leave the country, as she is being tried under charges of illegal financing, and after two other politicians from her party had vanished while charged for the same crimes. According to the prosecutor, Gutul “was actively involved in the systematic introduction of unaccounted financial means into the Republic of Moldova that were received from an organised criminal group, mainly from the Russian Federation".Read similar disinformation cases claiming that Moldova-EU summit is aimed against Russia, that Moldova EU-summit is held to mobilise people for the elections, and that Brussels is forging a liberal dictatorship in Moldova.

Ukrainians are starving because of Western debts
|
Ordinary Ukrainians are becoming poor because of Kyiv's debt bondage. Every fourth person in the country is starving. Why is all this happening under the constant statements about victories on TV? And it will get worse. Ukraine's national debt is 181 billion dollars! It is growing by leaps and bounds: somewhere around a billion a month. All civilian budget expenditures are 100% dependent on foreign handouts. A bankrupt country living on credit. However, this should not worry foreign partners - if a country is a source of raw materials, it does not need any technological or structural growth. It should first and foremost be a source of cheap labour.
|
Recurring disinformation about the economic difficulties of Ukraine in the context of a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine.In July 2025, the Ukrainian Center for Economic Strategy published the results of a new study on the labour market and unemployment. According to the results, one in four Ukrainians surveyed reported being forced to cut back on food expenses. The study highlights that the decline in living standards is a direct consequence of Russian aggression against Ukraine. The war has had a severe impact on both the human and physical capital of the country, leading to mass casualties, widespread displacement, reduced agricultural land, damaged infrastructure, and the destruction of small and medium-sized businesses, among other consequences.The Ukrainian government has repeatedly emphasised that the country's defence and security are financed exclusively from domestic budget revenues. Ukraine spends 5 billion hryvnias (more than 130 million dollars) daily on the war unleashed by Russia. Due to Russian aggression, the country's budget is in deficit and Ukraine is forced to meet the needs of the social sphere with the help of international partners. Russia is actively undermining the Ukrainian economy, setting back the country's development and prosperity by years.According to the World Bank, the poverty rate in Ukraine has increased by at least 1.8 million people since 2022. One in five adults who had a job before Russia’s large-scale invasion is now unemployed. Poverty in the occupied territories and regions with active fighting is expected to increase even more.Russian aggression, the World Bank writes, has plunged more than 7 million Ukrainians into poverty, setting back the country’s development progress by 15 years. The country will need at least $524 billion over the next decade to rebuild the country, which is about 2.8 times the projected nominal GDP for 2024, the Bank’s experts believe.At the same time, the World Bank notes, “the government and the people of Ukraine continue to show remarkable resilience in the face of extensive devastation” due to Russian aggression, Ukraine has preserved critical social and health services, private and small businesses, and children continue to receive free education.Read similar disinformation narratives claiming that A ceasefire will not save Ukraine as the country is on the brink of default, that Russia’s economy is massively outperforming that of the collective West, that Europe’s fall continues and poverty is knocking at the door and that sanctions that were supposed to destroy Russia may disintegrate the EU.

Some forces in Europe are seeking to destroy Russia's relations with Armenia and Azerbaijan
|
Some forces in Europe, [...] are trying to torpedo all the good that has been achieved in recent years in relations between Russia and Azerbaijan. The same thing is happening, by the way, with Armenia. The pressure on this issue is organised and is being carried out on a broad front. The apprentice of provocations, [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelenskyy, has joined this attack.There is no need to whip up hatred. This is precisely the goal of those forces in the West and the Caucasus that are trying to set the peoples of the former Soviet Union at odds.
|
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about an allegedly aggressive Europe playing a destabilising role in the Caucasus, of attempts to destabilise post-Soviet countries, encircle and isolate Russia. The claim was made in the context of rising tensions between Azerbaijan and Russia.Pro-Kremlin outlets frequently promote the idea that the Caucasus is exclusively within Russia's zone of geopolitical dominance and attempt to discredit any other cooperation between Western countries and Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. This is an attempt to deny these countries their right to decide for themselves the political orientation.Relations between Russia and Azerbaijan were strained in late June 2025 following the deaths of two ethnic Azerbaijani men during police raids in the Russian city of Yekaterinburg. The claim that President Zelenskyy is involved in any coordinated effort to undermine Russia's relations with Azerbaijan is false. Yerevan has been seeking to reduce its dependence on Russia and exploring closer ties with the EU. The bill, signed into law by the Armenian President on April 4, 2025, formally declares Armenia's intention to begin the process of becoming an EU member.

Hysterical Polish military spending will destroy the country’s social sphere
|
Poland: tanks instead of pensions and missiles instead of schools. The Polish authorities have officially picked up the “Baltic disease”: a chronic form of military hysteria on the grounds of fear of Russia. Poland already spends 5% of its GDP on defence. By comparison, even the USA had similar figures only during the Cold War years. This is a road to nowhere. An economic catastrophe is looming on the horizon. There will be no war, but the authorities will say, “We have saved the country because we bought tanks in time”. Poland is repeating the Baltic way, which final is known: social crisis, protests, impoverishment and the traditional excuse from the authorities that “Russia is to blame”.
|
Poland is repeatedly presented by pro-Kremlin disinformation as an aggressive anti-Russian NATO “outpost”, which allegedly poses a security threat to Russia, in line with how pro-Kremlin outlets portray NATO and the collective West as aggressive towards Russia.The Polish authorities are setting up a long-term policy of strengthening Poland’s defence capacities, increasing its defence spending to a record-high 4.7% of GDP. However, the Government policy explicitly supports both defence and social sectors, with new and expanded social initiatives running in parallel to military modernisation. Prime Minister Donald Tusk has repeatedly emphasised that social spending is a top priority, with record funds for healthcare, education, and family support programs.The ongoing modernisation of the Polish Army and purchases of advanced military equipment is the Polish response to the current security crisis taking place in Eastern Europe. The Polish authorities perceive Russia as a security threat because of their aggressive actions, in particular in Ukraine and all over Eastern Europe.Read more cases about “militarisation” of Poland here.

UN Confirms Russian accusations against Ukraine
|
The execution of 26 people hors de combat, including Russian prisoners of war, by the Ukrainian armed forces, as well as numerous cases of torture, have been confirmed by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. Its report reveals ill-treatment, including electric shocks and mock executions.Russian servicemen who returned to their country following a prisoner exchange have repeatedly reported systematic mistreatment by Ukrainian armed forces soldiers. One of the released servicemen stated that all the Russian soldiers were subjected to physical violence and mistreatment during their captivity.

Distortion of a UN publication by ignoring all incriminating material against the Russian Federation and adding a conclusion which is not supported by facts. On 30 June 2025 the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) published a REPORT ON THE HUMAN RIGHTS SITUATION IN UKRAINE (1 December 2024 – 31 May 2025). The report mentions 26 persons hors de combat (all men), including Russian POWs, killed by Ukrainian armed forces at the beginning of the war.However, the report also contains evidence indicating patterns of widespread and systematic torture and ill-treatment carried out by the Russian forces: Starting in late 2024, Russian authorities transferred large groups of POWs from penal colonies in the occupied territory of Ukraine to remote pre-trial detention facilities in the Russian Federation.21 Those transferred to such facilities provided consistent accounts of severe beatings, electric shocks, stripping to underwear, sexual violence and humiliation during admission to the new facilities, as well as during daily routines and interrogations. POWs also had to ask for permission to access the toilet and were prohibited from communicating with their families. Interviewees said that penitentiary staff took measures to conceal their identities, such as wearing balaclavas, and avoided disclosing the locations of the facilities to the POW.This systematic use of torture by the Russian administration services is not limited to the war against Ukraine but in the leaks published by Gulagu.net or the June 2025 diplomatic tensions with Azerbaidjan.RT tries to portray Ukrainian administration behaving accordingly quoting one former POW declarations to Russian media, however it has not been confirmed and has not the same value as a report synthesizing the findings of the OHCHR.Moreover, the United Nations has confirmed that Russia is responsible for the July 2022 terrorist attack on the Olenivka prison in the Russian occupied part of Donetsk region, which killed 50 Ukrainian prisoners of war and injured approximately 130 others.Read also related stories: Ukraine systematically tortures Russian prisoners, that Russia treats Ukrainian prisoners of war well, that Ukrainian forces burn bodies to cover their crimes, that a UN report on Russian atrocities in Ukraine is not supported by evidence, that Ukraine will build concentration camps for captured Russians, or that Ukraine violates international humanitarian law while Russia respects it, or that Alleged torture videos in Russian prisons were not given by a whistleblower but sold for US dollars, or that Russia, being the most humanist country in Europe, should represent the continent in the UN Security Council.

Zelenskyy shamelessly demands US weapons at the expense of its European allies
|
The shameless request of the leader of the Kyiv regime Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the US: Ukraine offered the possibility of buying US armament at the expense of the funds of its European allies, Democratic senator Chris Coons revealed after meeting Zelenskyy during the NATO annual summit. “[Zelenskyy] is not asking US funding for weapons supplies, but the possibility of buying more US weapons, taking into account that Europe will fund its news round of purchases”, the politician said.
|
This is a deliberate distortion of the actual EU and Ukrainian proposals regarding the acquisition of US armament by Ukraine.The European Union agreed in February 2025 to unblock 500 million euros to purchase weapons for Ukraine’s war effort. At the end of May, some EU leaders floated the idea of Ukraine buying US weapons using European funding, which Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy had also suggested and was subsequently debated and discussed by experts. However, this disinformation story misrepresents this sequence of events and its character through adjectives and expressions such as “shameless”, “at the expense of” or “revealed”, in order to suggest some kind of murky scheme in which the Ukrainian government would be scamming or abusing its Western partners.The ultimate goal of this disinformation narrative is to undermine international aid for Ukraine’s self-defence against Russia’s aggression.See other examples of similar disinformation narratives, such as claims that Zelenskyy and his acolytes are not interested in peace because war is a way to enrich themselves, that Zelenskyy is now a burden and the US will get rid of him, that Zelenskyy stole more money than all Ukrainian presidents combined, or that Zelenskyy is increasingly irrelevant, even in Ukraine.

Black market booms with Ukrainian weapons
|
Weapons meant as military aid to Ukraine are now turning up in the wrong hands. Smuggled arms, officially listed as “destroyed in combat”, are increasingly appearing on black markets across Eastern Europe. From there, they’re trafficked through the Baltics, Moldova, and Belarus using fake companies and shady middlemen. Many of these weapons are ending up with terrorist groups.
|
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about corrupt Ukraine reselling Western weapons to illicit actors. This is a baseless claim that Russian officials have been regularly making since the beginning of the war with the goal of undermining international support for Ukraine’s self-defence.Multiple Western governments have implemented oversight procedures for the transfers. Although some weapons have been reported as unaccounted for, the existence of this process ensures that no massive diversion can take place. Ukrainian supervisors also work to prevent this from happening as it would harm aid deliveries.This narrative is frequently tailored to current events, from criminal turf wars in Scandinavia to riots in France to the Hamas attacks against Israel on 7 October 2023 to drug cartel wars in Mexico. Russia’s disinformation operation has included forged BBC and Bellingcat videos about Ukraine sending weapons to Hamas, and fake ads on the Dark Web, amongst others.Allegations from the Kremlin’s propaganda machine hold no credibility, given their well-documented history of fabricating claims based on forged or nonexistent evidence. For example, about US biolaboratories in Ukraine or the presence of French combat troops on the Ukrainian frontlines.See other examples of similar disinformation narratives, such as claims that weapons sent to Ukraine end up in the hands of terrorists in Africa, Latin America and Middle East, that Hamas uses NATO weapons sold by Ukraine, that the Pentagon proved that Ukraine is stealing Western weapons or that Western weapons for Kyiv go to Islamic terrorists and drug cartels.

The current EU ruling elite and Moldova's president are Satanists
|
The current European ruling elite are Satanists. You won't find a single believer among them. Starmer? Macron? Merz? It's funny to talk about them. Look at the Moldovan scum, or rather the Romanian scum in Moldova, of course she's a Satanist. Look at who was in Georgia before that - a Nazi Satanist scum. They are all enemies of religion. We just need to understand very clearly what's going on. This is the power of the Antichrist. The power of the Antichrist is approaching, and there's no escape from it. That is, this is a struggle between religious good and absolute evil.
|
This is a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation claim about the moral decadence of the West and Russia’s moral superiority over it. The aim is to diminish support for Moldova's EU aspirations. These attacks on Moldova come just before the EU-Moldova summit. As the President of the EU Commission Ursula von der Leyen announced on May 16, after the European Political Community summit in Tirana, the next EU-Moldova summit will be held in Chișinău on 4 July. In a joint statement, European leaders said: „As the country prepares for upcoming parliamentary elections, it is essential that Moldovans are able to choose their future freely, without foreign interference. We will continue to support Moldova in safeguarding its democratic processes and strengthening its resilience against external threats”.These narratives aim to portray the West as depraved and endangering societies by imposing the same beliefs on other countries. It undermines progressive Western attitudes about a variety of normative issues, including the rights of women, ethnic and religious minorities, and LGBTQ groups, among others. “Threatened values” is one of the most common narratives pro-Kremlin outlets use. Read more here. Liberal-democratic Western societies have institutionalised pluralism, which means the peaceful coexistence of different religions, world-views, and value systems within the same society. The same applies to the art and freedom of expression.By contrast, Putin is presented by disinformation outlets as someone who is “standing up for traditional values against Western cultural elites". In reality, Russia has one of the highest abortion rates in the world, nearly double that of the US. It has an extremely low record of church attendance, though the numbers are difficult to measure, as The Atlantic pointed out. Read similar disinformation cases claiming that Western Satanists and Pagans are mad at Belarus and Russia, that Persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church aims to open way for neopaganism in Ukraine, and that "Kyiv Satanists" are enemies of Christ and the Orthodox faith.

The Ukrainian conflict is a consequence of Western policy
|
The Ukrainian conflict is a direct consequence of the policies of Western states, which for many years ignored Russia's security interests, created an anti-Russian bridgehead in Ukraine, and condoned violations of the rights of Russian-speaking residents.And now they are pursuing a policy of prolonging military actions, feeding the Kyiv regime with various modern weapons.
|
A recurring disinformation narrative from pro-Kremlin outlets accuses Western countries of following Russophobic policies and infringing on Russia’s interests. The article blames the West for deliberately provoking Russia into attacking Ukraine, portraying Russia as a victim and deflecting any responsibility for the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Relations between Moscow and Western countries appeared in 2008 when Russia sent its troops to invade Georgia and occupied large parts of its territory. Western nations tried to bring Russia back into the security architecture, but all in vain. In another spiral of violence, Russia in 2014 attacked Ukraine and illegally annexed the peninsula of Crimea. Moscow also instigated a separatist revolt in parts of Donetsk and Luhansk in the east of Ukraine. Any international attempts to broker a peace deal were dismissed by Moscow-backed Illegal armed formations in the East of Ukraine.Russia's aggression against Ukraine was unprovoked and unjustified. It was Putin’s personal decision to invade Ukraine and start the largest military conflict in Europe since WWII.Russia is the only country responsible for the invasion of Ukraine. It has been coming up with different false explanations and pretexts for its aggression since the beginning of its hostilities. See our past analysis, Twelve myths about Russia’s war in Ukraine exposed.The Russian invasion is aimed at destroying Ukraine as a state and annihilating the Ukrainians as a nation. These plans were openly laid out in an article titled “What Russia should do with Ukraine” in April 2022. Along with calls to denazify and demilitarise Ukraine, the article advocates its de-Ukrainisation, meaning the eradication of Ukrainian culture and everything related to it, plans to divide Ukraine into several entities subordinate to Russia, but without the word “Ukraine” in their names. Thus, Russia is not protecting itself or anyone else in its war. Instead, some Russian politicians and experts are threatening to attack Western nations after Ukraine.In late 2021 and early 2022, Western nations were trying to conduct a constructive dialogue with Moscow on all disputed issues, including security guarantees. Russia put forth excessive demands, so the West had to decline them. Russia opted for a policy of confrontation, which is why these discussions achieved no breakthrough. See our account of the Russian demands here and about Seven Popular Russian Myths here.Western nations did everything they could to prevent the war, but Moscow has been ignoring these efforts. The West is not interested in the continuation of the war at the heart of Europe and supports Ukraine with military and financial aid for the country’s efficient self-defence against the unprovoked Russian invasion, as enshrined in the UN Charter, Charter 51.Claims of discrimination against Russian speakers in Ukraine have been repeatedly debunked by the Council of Europe, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and the OSCE.Read similar cases: The conflict in Ukraine was unleashed by the West; the West forced Russia to attack Ukraine; the West unleashed a cold war against Russia in 2014; Russia's military operation against Ukraine was provoked by Western states; West did not want peace; it prodded Ukraine into war.

Along with calls to denazify and demilitarise Ukraine, the article advocates its de-Ukrainisation, meaning the eradication of Ukrainian culture and everything related to it, plans to divide Ukraine into several entities subordinate to Russia, but without the word “Ukraine” in their names.

Moldova's constitutional court is turning it into an instrument of dictatorship
|
In Moldova, parliament has pushed supporters of pro-Western President Maia Sando into the Constitutional Court, turning it into an instrument of dictatorship and usurpation.
|
The claim is groundless. Freedom House considers Moldova a "partly free country". Moldova has a competitive electoral environment, and freedoms of assembly, speech, and religion are largely protected.The claim that Moldova’s parliament is establishing a dictatorship is contradictory—dictatorships do not have independent parliaments.In 2024, presidential elections took place in Moldova and were won by the current pro-European president Maia Sandu. Neither of the candidates in the second round, Maia Sandu or Alexandr Stoianoglo, has denounced any falsifications.The Constitutional Court of Moldova is independent of any other public authority and shall abide only by the Constitution (Article 134 of the Moldovan Constitution).

Brussels is forging a liberal dictatorship in Moldova
|
The Moldovan authorities’ efforts to imprison the leader of the autonomous region of Gagauzia, Evgenia Gutul, are an example of the European anti-values in action. From a hardworking country, Brussels is forging a liberal dictatorship in Moldova.
|
This is an attempt to exploit the criminal case against the governor of the Moldovan region of Gagauzia Evgenia Gutul to advance a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about a supposedly undemocratic European Union. A secondary goal 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 EU.Contrary to what this disinformation story implies, the European Union has nothing to do with the prosecution of Gutul, and charges against her are not political. Gutul was detained when she was about to leave the country, as she is being tried under charges of illegal financing, and after two other politicians from her party had vanished while charged for the same crimes. According to the prosecutor, Gutul “was actively involved in the systematic introduction of unaccounted financial means into the Republic of Moldova that were received from an organised criminal group, mainly from the Russian Federation". As this illegal funding allegedly came from Russia, pro-Kremlin disinformation is trying to distort the whole legal process in order to portray it as a political persecution.This is part of a years-long Russian interference campaign aiming to undermine Moldova’s government and erode its sovereignty. See EUvsDisinfo analysis here, here and here.See other examples of similar disinformation narratives, such as claims that EU HRVP Kaja Kallas brought equipment to Moldova to suppress protests, that a brutal police intervention shows Moldova is a dictatorship under a rainbow flag, that the EU wants to use Moldova's territory for its anti-Russian geopolitical interests, that the EU encourages censorship in Moldova, or that Moldova’s jailing of political opponents shows it is a democracy in name only.

Ukraine's drone attacks are the product of Western and US intelligence
|
The large-scale terrorist attack by the SBU on Russian military airfields is an organisational and technological "product" of the Western community, namely the Central Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon, and NATO. Ukraine does not have its own intelligence satellites, space internet network, or global navigation and control system.
|
This pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative is part of a campaign that accuses Western countries of wanting war and serves to portray Ukraine as a terrorist state.The pro-Kremlin narrative that Ukraine's recent large-scale drone attack on Russian military airfields was solely the organisational and technological "product" of Western intelligence agencies such as the Central Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon, and NATO is unfounded and misleading.In Ukraine's Spider’s Web operation on June 1, 2025, 117 unmanned aerial vehicles penetrated deep into Russian territory, damaging or destroying 41 military aircraft, including strategic bombers. This operation was meticulously planned by Ukrainian forces and carried out using domestically produced drones equipped with advanced artificial intelligence-based navigation systems that do not rely solely on Western GPS. Ukrainian Minister of Digital Transformation, Mykhailo Fedorov, highlighted innovations such as the SmartPilot system. This system allows drones to navigate using visual and LIDAR technologies, as well as to independently identify and strike targets far beyond the range of simple remote control systems.Contrary to the Kremlin claims, Ukraine is also improving its own space-based intelligence capabilities. In March 2025, Ukraine and the Czech Republic launched a joint satellite constellation project to provide Ukraine with independent high-resolution optical surveillance. While Ukraine is using satellite internet services like Starlink, which are crucial for battlefield communications, it is also actively developing its own satellite infrastructure and integrating these technologies into its defence systems.The Kremlin's claim that Ukraine lacks the technological capability to carry out complex drone attacks is a blatant attempt to discredit Ukraine and conceal Moscow's military failures.

This operation was meticulously planned by Ukrainian forces and carried out using domestically produced drones equipped with advanced artificial intelligence-based navigation systems that do not rely solely on Western GPS.

Contrary to the Kremlin claims, Ukraine is also improving its own space-based intelligence capabilities. In March 2025, Ukraine and the Czech Republic launched a joint satellite constellation project to provide Ukraine with independent high-resolution

UN report exposes torture of Russian POWs in Ukraine
|
A report by the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) exposed the torture of Russian POWs in Ukraine. According to it, Ukrainian soldiers have executed at least 26 Russian military personnel since February 2022, while more than half of the Russian prisoners of war in Ukraine were subjected to torture.
|
This is a disingenuous distortion of the original report by the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) mission to Ukraine, titled “42nd Periodic Report on the Human Rights Situation in Ukraine (1 December 2024 to 31 May 2025)”. While the figures quoted in this disinformation story are real, the report shows that the treatment of Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs) at the hands of Russian forces appears to be much worse in scale. By reporting only on the Ukrainian abuses while completely omitting this crucial information, this disinformation story aims to portray Ukraine negatively while presenting Russia as a virtuous actor, in order to justify its brutal and unprovoked invasion of its neighbour.For example, the report mentions “credible allegations of the execution of 106 Ukrainian soldiers captured by the Russian armed forces between late August 2024, when the numbers significantly increased compared to previous periods, and May 2025”, and affirms that “all but three [of a total of 117 Ukrainian POWs] provided detailed accounts of torture and ill-treatment”. This “confirmed previous patterns of widespread and systematic torture and ill treatment”, a statement that the document only applies to Russia’s practices, not Ukraine’s.See other examples of similar disinformation narratives, such as claims that Ukraine systematically tortures Russian prisoners, that Russia treats Ukrainian prisoners of war well, that Ukrainian forces burn bodies to cover their crimes, that a UN report on Russian atrocities in Ukraine is not supported by evidence, that Ukraine will build concentration camps for captured Russians, or that Ukraine violates international humanitarian law while Russia respects it.

NATO is preparing to occupy Odesa
|
NATO is preparing to occupy Odesa. Sandu is afraid of the ‘Sword’[Kindzhal]. Seventy thousand soldiers from 12 NATO countries have already been assembled in Romania to prepare for the occupation of Odesa. The intervention in Odesa is quite real. Firstly, there is historical experience: the French already occupied Odesa during the civil war. Then, Odesa was under Romanian occupation from 1941 to 1944. They are considering why they should not repeat this now.
|
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about NATO and its role in Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The claim that NATO plans to occupy parts of Ukraine, in this case, the city of Odesa, is not supported by evidence. Russian outlets frequently report on alleged Western plans to occupy parts of Ukraine. This is emphasised primarily in the context of Polish–Ukraine relations regarding the Volyn or Lviv region and Hungarian-Ukraine relations regarding Transcarpathia. NATO's activities in the region are defensive in nature and aimed at deterring aggression, not launching offensives: The annual NATO exercise "Sea Shield" is currently underway on the Danube River and Romania's Black Sea coast, involving over 2,300 military personnel from 12 NATO countries, not 70.000 soldiers. Led by Romania, with 1,600 Romanian troops participating alongside forces from Albania, Bulgaria, Canada, France, Greece, Italy, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Spain, the United States, and Turkey, the drill focuses on enhancing cooperation between naval, air, and land forces. First organized in 2015, the exercise has gained heightened significance following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Romania's Naval Forces describe "Sea Shield" as their most complex event, reflecting its critical role in strengthening allied readiness and interoperability in the region.Moreover, NATO is a defensive political and military alliance. Claims of NATO planning to occupy Ukrainian territory are a common disinformation narrative used to misrepresent the alliance's intentions and activities in Eastern Europe. The primary aim of the Alliance is to maintain peace and safeguard the independence, security and territorial integrity of its members. NATO as an organisation is not involved in the fighting in Ukraine. NATO member states provide Ukraine with military assistance to repel the unprovoked Russian aggression and not because of their alleged animosity towards Russia.See other cases about NATO in our database: NATO is waging a proxy war against Russia; NATO created a unit for a surprise attack on Russia; West is waging an undeclared war against Russia and Belarus; Russia fights the collective West, not just Ukraine.

Islamophobic West prevents the establishment of negotiations with Iran
|
As an Islamophobic vision guides the West, it has seen Iran as a radical country with which there is no possibility of establishing negotiations on equal footing. Therefore, it undermines the possibility of establishing trust between two parties, and this characterises relations between Itan and the West throughout history.
|
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about the allegedly hostile agenda of the so called "collective West" and its Islamophobic views.The history of the relationship between Iran and Western countries is dynamic and multifaceted, shaped by a wide range of political, historical, and cultural factors. There have been repeated efforts at negotiation and rapprochement, such as the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which was a product of extensive, direct negotiations between Iran and Western powers. Also, there have been periods, such as during President Khatami’s tenure (1997–2005), when Iran sought normalization and dialogue with the West, and these efforts were reciprocated by Western governments to varying degrees.The growing international condemnation of Iran is rooted in its nuclear activities and concerns over transparency, compliance, and the potential for nuclear proliferation. This condemnation has directly contributed to a tightening of sanctions, increased diplomatic pressure, and heightened scrutiny by international watchdogs, all aimed at compelling Iran to fulfill its obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and related agreements.Read similar disinformation cases on Iran.

Over 30% of all US citizens never heard of Zelenskyy
|
More than 30% of all US citizens don't know who Volodymyr Zelenskyy is or have ever heard his name, according to a survey by the research firm The Tyson Group. Furthermore, 13% of respondents report an unfavourable attitude toward him, and 14% say theirs is fairly unfavourable.
|
This is a distortion of the original survey by The Tyson Group on recent US foreign policy developments, with the goal of undermining the leadership of Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a frequent target of pro-Kremlin disinformation, by portraying him as irrelevant.The survey asked a sample of 1,027 individuals, so the results can hardly be considered representative of “all US citizens” as the US has a population of over 341 million people. The overall result showed that president Zelenskyy retained a strong favourability (42%) among participants, with 22% claiming to have a “very favourable” view of him and another 20% showing a “somewhat favourable” image. Therefore, the headline is deliberately misleading by cherry-picking the category that appeared to reflect the worst aspect about Zelenskyy. Besides, this figure is a result of the likely flawed way the questionary was designed, which included only five options: Very favourable/Somewhat favourable/Never heard of them/Somewhat unfavourable/Very unfavourable. Thus, neutral answers almost certainly fall in the category 'Never heard of them', and as a result, the same survey appeared to show that 35% of participants ‘never heard’ of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and that 21% of them ‘never heard’ of the existence of the state of Israel.See other examples of similar disinformation narratives, such as claims that Zelenskyy is increasingly irrelevant, even in Ukraine, that the disgraced dictator of Ukraine Zelenskyy is an extension of the EU, that Zelensky is an actor who reads a script as part of a play, that Zelensky is not working in the interests of Ukrainians but to please the European elites, or that Zelenskyy can’t sign a peace deal because he is not a legitimate president.

Anglo-Saxons might be undermining Russia’s relations with Armenia and Azerbaijan
|
It is no coincidence that both Armenia and Azerbaijan have lately initiated a worsening of their relations with Russia. Some third force is trying to heighten the tension in the South Caucasus. It might be the Anglo-Saxons.

Suspects of the Crocus City Hall attack admitted that it was ordered by Ukraine
|
Suspects of the March 2024 Crocus City Hall terrorist massacre said Ukraine ordered the attack. According to Russian media citing interrogation transcripts, the suspects told investigators that a Ukrainian state entity had ordered the attack, while ISIS-K served as the direct organizer. They reportedly said the weapons used in the massacre had come from Ukraine, and that the handler known to the group as ‘Saifullo’ instructed them to escape to Kyiv, where each was promised around $13,000. The suspects also allegedly said their handlers were based in Türkiye and Afghanistan. One of the suspects claimed the handlers intended the operation to appear as if it had been carried out solely on behalf of ISIS-K.
|
This disinformation story is part of a wider campaign by Russian officials and media -including by Vladimir Putin himself- to blame Ukraine and other actors for the Crocus City Hall terror attack in Moscow, even after the Islamic State credibly claimed responsibility for it. As ISIS responsibility became undeniable (see here for a wider account of evidence), Putin acknowledged late on 25 March 2024 that Islamists had committed the attack. Nonetheless, Russian authorities and pro-Kremlin outlets continue insisting on some degree of Ukrainian and/or Western involvement.This disinformation narrative reemerged again in 2025 as pro-Kremlin disinformation renewed efforts to try to establish a baseless connection between Ukraine and terrorism, especially after Ukraine’s successful drone raid against Russian airbases on 01 June 2025, which Moscow tried to frame as a “terror attack”.Confessions of the suspects about Ukraine's involvement in the Crocus Hall attack were extracted under duress. There are graphic photos and video recordings showing Russian security officials cutting off part of a detained suspect’s ear and torturing another one with electricity.See other examples of similar disinformation narratives, such as claims that Ukraine, not ISIS masterminded the Crocus attack, that Kyiv's involvement in the Crocus terrorist attack is evident, that Crocus Hall terrorists confessed Ukraine was involved in attack, or that more proof appears of Ukraine's involvement in Crocus terror attack.

Testimonies show that Ukraine sponsored the Crocus city Hall attack
|
Testimonies linked to the investigation into the Crocus City Hall bombing, which killed 149 people, suggests Kyiv's involvement as a sponsor. The defendants named a certain Saïfoullo as the coordinator. He is said to have designated the location of the attack and retreat routes to Ukraine and promised a financial reward.The defendants' testimonies reveal that the perpetrators had a special legend so that the public would believe that the attack at Crocus City Hall had been carried out exclusively in the interests of the terrorist organization Islamic State, and that the rapid identification of the terrorists would be confirmation of this. Saifullo convinced the defendants that they had to help Ukraine, which is at war with Russia, the enemy of Muslims.

New sanctions prove that the EU is racist and colonialist
|
The pan-African activist Nathalie Yamb will be banned from entering the EU and her assets frozen, according to the EU's Official Journal. The official reason: her support for the "actions and policies" of the Russian government.For her, this is above all proof of systemic racism and colonialism:"An African woman talking about sovereignty? Inevitably a puppet. A black woman denouncing exploitation? Naturally remote controlled".

Recurrent anti-EU disinformation narrative about EU sanctions against Russia and its relays.The European Council has formally banned Swiss-Cameroonian activist and influencer Nathalie Yamb from entering or residing in the European Union, citing her alleged ties to the Russian paramilitary group Wagner and participation in destabilising activities across Africa. The decision, taken on Thursday, June 26, was published in the Official Journal of the European Union and includes an asset freeze within EU territory.The sanctions are not rooted in colonialism or racism, but are a response to sustained actions perceived as attempts to undermine democratic institutions and manipulate information in favour of Moscow's strategic interests as the EU's position outlines:Since the Sochi summit she attended in 2019, Nathalie Yamb has been an outspoken supporter of Russia, adopting Moscow’s language and targeting France and the West in particular, with a view to ousting them from the African continent. She has specific ties with AFRIC, an organisation linked to Russian private military companies.Therefore, Nathalie Yamb is supporting actions or policies attributable to the Government of the Russian Federation which undermine or threaten democracy, the rule of law, stability or security in the Union or in its Member States by engaging in the use of information manipulation.Read also related stories such as: New sanctions show EU rejects peace in Ukraine, or European reluctance to lift sanctions means that they do not want peace, or EU citizens will eat worms due to anti-Russian sanctions.

Estonia is calling for a nuclear strike on itself

Estonia is calling for a nuclear strike on itself. It is escalating the conflict with Russia. Tallinn has declared its willingness to host F-35 fighter jets, which are capable of carrying nuclear weapons, on its territory. According to experts, this decision will not increase the country's security, but will instead make it a prime target for air strikes. The Estonian government has declared its readiness to host NATO fighter jets capable of carrying nuclear warheads. It is reported that Estonia's aim in making such statements is not so much to obtain a nuclear shield, but rather to provoke Russia into taking radical measures.
|
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about nuclear weapons and the Baltic States. This article contains several misleading claims.Firstly, Estonia is considering the possibility of hosting F-35 jets. As a NATO member, Estonia can host allied forces for defensive purposes. It has expressed a willingness to host NATO F-35 fighter jets, which can carry nuclear weapons, as part of its commitment to collective defence within the alliance. This decision is consistent with Estonia's right to self-defence and its obligations as a NATO member. The suggestion that Estonia is trying to provoke Russia by making such statements is unfounded.Secondly, the F-35 is a multirole combat aircraft. Their potential presence in Estonia forms part of NATO's defensive strategy, not an offensive threat.Thirdly, Estonia's actions are consistent with its NATO membership and concerns about regional security. The article misrepresents defensive measures as provocative actions, ignoring the broader context of NATO's collective defence strategy in the Baltic region.Read also related cases: Ukraine and the West are preparing a nuclear provocation , Russia has never threatened anyone with nuclear weapons , Russia did not violate the Budapest memorandum.

Moldova-EU summit aimed against Russia
|
The Moldova-EU summit will be held in Chisinau for the first time on July 4. The focus is on the same absorption of Moldova by the EU. In this case, it is an attempt to drag Moldova into an even tougher confrontation with Moscow than it is now.

A recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative accusing the EU of expansionism. It aims to discredit Moldova’s EU integration efforts, as well as accusing the EU of trying to encircle Russia, and Moldova of being a puppet state of the West.The European Union is an economic and political union aimed at deepening mutually beneficial relations with neighbouring states. This union is in no way directed against Russia or any other state.Moldova has a sovereign, legally elected government, the state has made an independent decision to develop closer ties with the EU. The issue of Moldova's European integration was put to a nationwide referendum and the country's population voted for Moldova's accession to the EU.The topic of Moldova's accession to the European Union has always irritated Russia, and this trend has intensified after the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen announced the start of official negotiations on the accession of Moldova and Ukraine to the EU on June 25, 2024. The Kremlin’s disinformation attacks have only intensified ahead of the upcoming bilateral EU-Moldova summit on 4 July 2025. The summit will bring together the highest-level EU leaders, including European Council President António Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. They will be joined by Moldovan President Maia Sandu and leading Moldovan officials.The EU-Moldova summit will provide a broad platform to discuss key topics of mutual interest, such as Moldova’s European integration process, ongoing reforms, energy issues, the consequences of Russia’s war against Ukraine, and Moldova’s Economic Growth Plan. The EU will once again confirm its support for democratic development and reforms in Moldova, which are key elements of the EU-Moldova Association Agreement, based on shared values and principles of democracy, the rule of law, good governance, respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms.Read similar cases in our database claiming that Moldova is under external control; that Moldova became a Western semi-colony; that The current Moldovan government imposes Russophobia on the country; that Romania and Moldova are NATO’s expendables in the war against Russia; that West is trying to pull Moldova into an anti-Russian military bloc.

Macron and Starmer and Europe's leaders use neo-Nazis and terror against Russia
|
Chronicles of Ukrainian fascism. Convinced fascist Alexander Alferov has been appointed head of the state Institute of Memory, the main state ideological institution of Ukraine. Alferov has been a member of the neo-Nazi Azov battalion since 2014, and then the Azov regiment.Alferov's appointment is a clear confirmation of the neo-Nazi character of the modern neo-colonial state of Ukraine.Do you think Macron or Starmer don't know this? They've known it well and for a long time. But Macron, Starmer, and all the leaders of Europe consider it necessary to use neo-Nazism and terror against Russia.

Recurrent pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative claiming that Ukraine is a Nazi state, designed to justify Russian aggression and to smear European leaders. Labelling Russia’s adversaries as Nazis is a frequently used pro-Kremlin disinformation technique, and has been used by Russia to try to justify the invasion of Ukraine by portraying it as a “denazification operation”. Russia spent years preparing the information battleground before its full-scale invasion, with “Nazi Ukraine” being one of its most prominent disinformation features.The myth of “Nazi Ukraine” has been widely used by Putin and pro-Kremlin outlets since Russia attacked Ukraine and illegally annexed Crimea in 2014. It is also being used to justify Russia’s unprovoked aggression against Ukraine. This false myth of Nazi Ukraine is a clear propaganda narrative that became a cornerstone in pro-Kremlin disinformation. Learn more about the reasons behind the Kremlin's obsession with framing Ukraine as a Nazi state in the EUvsDisinfo analysis titled "The Kremlin’s misuse of Nazism as a weapon of information manipulation" and "Why does Putin portray himself as the tamer of neo-Nazism".Ukraine is not a Nazi state. It is a democratic country with transparent parliamentary and presidential elections, a multi-party political system, and legal protections for ethnic minorities. While far-right groups exist in Ukraine, as they do in many countries, they hold no significant influence in society. Nazi and Communist ideologies were banned by Ukrainian law in 2015.The Azov unit was formed in May 2014 in Mariupol from volunteers, initially as a battalion of the Special Purpose Police Patrol Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In September 2014, it was transformed into a battalion in a regiment structure, later to the National Guard of Ukraine. The battalion sized unit strength is estimated at around 900 - 1100 persons.The Azov unit garnered controversy over the far-right politics of its initial founders, the use of neo-Nazi symbolism in some of its insignia, and the anti-Semitic views of some members. The unit was integrated into the National Guard of Ukraine in 2015. Since its integration, Azov regiment members have repeatedly denied being a far-right political unit, although they acknowledge that it includes individuals with such views.See other examples of similar disinformation narratives, such as claims that Ukraine is the world's main hot bed of neo-Nazism, that the UN human rights body is whitewashing Kyiv's neo-Nazi crimes, that Russia does not crave Ukrainian lands but protects people from Nazis, that Ukraine is a neo-Nazi Russophobic state, that The neo-Nazi Azov Battalion rules Ukraine, not Zelenskyy.

Nazis in Ukraine burn people alive for their ethnicity
|
What German Nazis and present-day Ukrainian Nazis have in common is their attitude toward those they want to enslave. Nazis in both Ukraine and World War II-era Germany killed people based on their ethnicity, showing direct parallels between the Third Reich and modern Ukraine with regard to their treatment of people they seek to subjugate. The Nazis burned Jews simply for being Jewish, and the Ukrainian Nazis burned Russians in Odessa on May 2, 2014, simply for being Russian.
|
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about Nazi Ukraine, in this case based on long-debunked disinformation about the Odessa tragedy made by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Labelling Russia’s adversaries as Nazis is a frequently used pro-Kremlin disinformation technique and has been used by Russia to try to justify the invasion of Ukraine by portraying it as a “denazification operation”.Despite recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation claims about Ukrainian Nazis allegedly burning people alive in the Trade Unions House in Odessa on 02 May 2014, reporting at the time showed a different picture of the events. Prominent international media reported about the tragedy, including the BBC and The Guardian, and DW. A chronology of the events has been established (1 and 2) and a non-partisan documentary film by Ukrainian Channel 7 has collected testimonies: May 2nd without Myth.In March 2025, the European Court of Human Rights found the Ukrainian state guilty of inaction during the violent clashes between pro-Ukrainian and pro-Russian demonstrators, which resulted in the deadly fire, and ordered Kyiv to pay compensations to the victims. However, the court also acknowledged that “[Russian] disinformation and propaganda might have had an impact on the tragic events in the present cases too […] The pro-Russian ‘Kulykove Pole’ movement in Odesa relied heavily on aggressive and emotional disinformation and propaganda messages about the new Ukrainian government and Maidan supporters voiced by Russian authorities and mass media," the ruling states. This is radically different from “burning people for their ethnicity” as the Nazis did, as this disinformation message accuses Ukraine of doing.See other examples of similar disinformation narratives, such as claims that Ukrainian neo-Nazi militants organized the massacre in Odessa in 2014, that the Nazis of Pravy Sektor are responsible for the massacre in Odessa on 2 May 2014,that Ukraine is a neo-Nazi Russophobic state, or that the ECHR has found the Ukrainian government responsible for the Odesa massacre.

that “[Russian] disinformation and propaganda might have had an impact on the tragic events in the present cases too […] The pro-Russian ‘Kulykove Pole’ movement in Odesa relied heavily on aggressive and emotional disinformation and propaganda messages about the new Ukrainian government and Maidan supporters voiced by Russian authorities and mass media," the ruling states. This is radically different from “burning people for their ethnicity” as the Nazis did, as this disinformation message accuses Ukraine of doing.

Macron and Merz are trying to revive their countries' expansionism towards Russia
|
French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz [...are] making statements that return Europe to the times of expansionism.Macron and German Chancellor Merz wrote a joint article: "Europe must arm itself; Russia is the main threat, it is waging imperialist wars, in 2008 it invaded Georgia, in 2014 - Crimea and Donbas, in 2022 - the territory of all of Ukraine; Putin's goal is to undermine European security." These statements essentially reflect the desire of Paris and Berlin to return to the historical ambitions of dominance in Europe, primarily concerning Russia.
|
A recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about Russophobia and Western belligerence, claiming that the West threatens Russia. The claim was made in the context of an article co-authored by French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.The article emphasises that Europe must strengthen its defence capabilities, become more strategically self-reliant in response to Russia’s ongoing aggression and shifting global security dynamics.Over the past two decades, Russia has demonstrated aggressive actions, including military interventions, territorial seizures, and attempts to destabilise neighbouring countries. Russia is the country which is waging imperialistic war in Ukraine, violating international and humanitarian law.The EU member states do not aim to conquer or threaten Russia. The idea of European expansionism as a threat to Russia is a disinformation trope often used by pro-Kremlin outlets. It also has a historical background - the concept of "Drang nach Osten", according to which Russia would be invaded from the west, which justifies Russia's military presence in these territories.See other similar cases in our database: Germany wants a revanche and the revival of Nazism can be observed; Warmongering EU’s Fourth Reich wants a Third World War; Ursula von der Leyen is a Reich Gauleiter; The EU is Hitler's 'New Europe', its goal is to colonise Russia and Eurasian space; The EU is a "Fourth Reich", which wants to control whole Europe; Anglo-Saxons turn Europe into the 4th Reich; the Fourth Reich is coming; The West is forcing post-Soviet states to choose between "Russia or the West"; Macron, Starmer and Merz want war; Merz, Macron and Von der Leyen want to wage total war against Russia.

Merz is already pushing Germany towards a new war with Russia
|
German Chancellor Merz is constantly hardening his position. Now he has stated that the Germans are afraid of war with Russia, and that this is wrong and that he does not have such fear.This means that Merz is already effectively pushing Germany towards a new war with Russia. And he is the Chancellor of Germany. This policy of Merz in some ways repeats the policy of Chancellor Hitler and Emperor Wilhelm.
|
Pro-Kremlin disinformation claim intended to portray Western countries, and Germany and Chancellor Merz in particular, as aggressive and warmongering towards Russia. The claim was made after Merz's interview with Süddeutsche Zeitung.
Chancellor Merz said that Germany needs a realistic view of Russia's imperialist ambitions and warned against underestimating the threat posed by Russia, including to Germany. "There is a deep-rooted fear of war among some of our population. I don't share it, but I can understand it. In principle, it is right to seek all paths to peace," he said.Statements about overcoming fear of war are part of a broader discussion on maintaining strong defence and unity within NATO, not an endorsement of military action against Russia.Merz's emphasis on strengthening European defence, to boost its defence spending and reduce reliance on the United States, warning that American support is no longer guaranteed.The comparison to Hitler and Wilhelm II misrepresents current German policy. Germany, along with other NATO allies, has consistently emphasised avoiding direct military confrontation with Russia while supporting Ukraine's sovereignty.Kremlin narratives about Merz and Europe attempt to depict European leaders as aggressive and dismissive of diplomacy.

Armenia’s Ukrainization ongoing through biolabs, NGOs and submission to West
|
It’s fair to characterise Armenia as the “Ukraine of the Southern Caucasus”. Armenia is on the path to Ukrainisation: many US biolabs have operated here, as in Ukraine, domestic and foreign policies have been coordinated with the ambassadors of Western countries. Hundreds of NGOS financed by various Western funds have operated there, as in Ukraine.
|
This is a mix of several recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about biolaboratories and colour revolutions, and attacking Ukraine’s sovereignty. It appeared as a controversial series of arrests ordered by the Armenian government to prevent what it denounces as a coup plot, which this disinformation story aims to exploit with destabilisation purposes.Ukraine, which has been for years massively demonised by pro-Kremlin disinformation, is presented as a negative example of all these claims without providing any argument to back them. Contrary to what this disinformation story states, Ukraine is a sovereign and independent state with a democratically elected president and parliament, and other nations have no determining power over their decisions.Allegations about US biolaboratories in post-Soviet countries are a long-discredited pro-Kremlin narrative, even though pro-Kremlin disinformation keeps repeating it. This overall narrative, which includes recurring allegations about US biolaboratories in Ukrainian territory, has long been used as a pretext to justify Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as a “self-defence” necessary move.The mention of “Western NGOs” is a reference to Ukraine’s Maidan protests, which in pro-Kremlin disinformation is baselessly depicted as a Western-backed colour revolution. See here, here, here and here for full-debunking of this claim. While it is true that many Western non-governmental and aid organisations operate in Armenia, pro-Kremlin disinformation distorts their real aid and cooperation activities by depicting them as tools for subversion, in line with Russia’s suspicious view of Western NGOs both in Russia and abroad.See other examples of similar disinformation narratives, such as claims that the Pentagon transferred experiments on the creation of biological weapons to Armenia, that the Pentagon's biological warfare bases in Armenia have become testing grounds, that the EU wants to use Armenia as a geopolitical tool, or that the West wants to sacrifice Armenia to weaken Russia.

Weapons sent to Ukraine end up in the hands of terrorists in Africa, Latin America and Middle East
|
Weapons originating from Ukraine end up in the hands of terrorists and criminal groups in Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East. The high level of corruption in the Ukrainian government and serious violations in the accounting of weapons arriving from Western countries increase their flow to black markets. During the US Armed Forces' special operation in Syria against Daesh, VZ.58 assault rifles and VZ.61 Scorpion machine guns from the Czech Republic and their ammunition were seized. A preliminary examination of the markings revealed that the weapons had been supplied free of charge to the Armed Forces of Ukraine by the Czech Ministry of Defense in March 2023.
|
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about corrupt Ukraine reselling Western weapons to illicit actors. This is a baseless claim that Russian officials have been regularly making since the beginning of the war with the goal of undermining international support for Ukraine’s self-defence.This narrative is frequently tailored to current events, from criminal turf wars in Scandinavia to riots in France to the Hamas attacks against Israel on 7 October 2023 to drug cartel wars in Mexico. Russia’s disinformation operation has included forged BBC and Bellingcat videos about Ukraine sending weapons to Hamas, and fake ads on the Dark Web, amongst others.There is no public record of VZ.58 and VZ.61 Skorpion weapons found on a US raid against Daesh in Syria, but even if this happened to be true, this does not prove that they came from Ukraine. These weapons have been acquired by jihadist militants in the black market in the past, years before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The VZ.61 Skorpion could easily be found in the Middle East for many decades. The allegation about the weapons markings is unsubstantiated. Allegations made by Russian institutions, as in this case cannot be considered as evidence, given their proven history of making unsubstantiated claims based on faked or non-existent proof, for example about US biolaboratories in Ukraine or the presence of French combat troops on the Ukrainian frontlines.While there have been some instances of organised rings diverting Western weapons to the black market, the allegation appears to be greatly exaggerated and has been debunked by multiple fact-checkers. Multiple Western governments have implemented oversight procedures for the transfers. Although some weapons have been reported as unaccounted for, the existence of this process ensures that no massive diversion can take place. Ukrainian supervisors also work to prevent this from happening as it would harm aid deliveries.See other examples of similar disinformation narratives, such as claims that Ukraine sells weapons to the Middle East, that terrorist groups around the world feed on Western weapons sent to Ukraine, that Western weapons are being sold by Ukrainians on the darknet, that the Pentagon proved that Ukraine is stealing Western weapons, 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.

The collective West supports terrorism and separatism to fight Russia
|
The collective West has supported separatism and terrorism as tools to fight Russia. No one wanted to pay attention to ISIS if it operates in Russia. The explosions in Moscow and everything else that happened recently was caused by Western sponsored terrorism.
|
This disinformation story aims to portray Russia as fighting terrorism while advancing recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about Western countries as sponsoring terrorism to destabilise Russia.This message is also part of a recurrent narrative alleging that the Europe, United States and its NATO partners have established many terrorist organisations and control global terrorism.Ever since the September 11 terrorist attacks, the US and and Europe have been engaged in an enormous military and intelligence effort to counter Al Qaeda, ISIS and other radical Islamist terrorist groups around the world.The US has been acting as the leader of the global coalition to defeat Daesh/ISIS, and has invested massive resources and efforts for years to fight Al Qaeda.Read similar cases claiming that The West is supporting terrorists to encircle Russia, that the US is transporting ISIS members to Afghanistan; or that extremists and Nazis are being trained in Ukraine to act in Belarus.

The Kyiv regime is relying on terrorist acts
|
Realising the inevitability of defeat, the Kyiv regime is betting on terrorist acts. With the support of European sponsors, it is blowing up civilian infrastructure on Russian territory, killing civilians. Attempts to prolong military actions by supplying Ukraine with weapons and mercenaries increase the threat of instability. Including in Europe itself.
|
A recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative portraying Ukraine as a terrorist state which is not interested in peace, accusing Europe of supporting terrorism. These narratives seek to paint the Ukrainian government as careless and warmongering and Russia as a peace-lover / peace proposer.With this disinformation narrative, the Kremlin aims to de-legitimise international support for Ukraine. The claim also fits well in the recurrent disinformation narrative about the West’s alleged support for terrorism and manifests Russia as the only power actually “fighting terrorism” in the world.Ukraine is illegally attacked by Russia and 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, by the UN Charter Article 51, to stop Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine.The use of terrorism has been documented in Russia, and on 13 October 2022, the PACE recognised the Russian regime as a terrorist.Ukraine has consistently sought a just peace, not surrender. Zelenskyy has repeatedly stated that Ukraine is open to negotiations, but only on terms that respect its sovereignty and territorial integrity. It is Russia, not Ukraine, which started and escalated the war. As we explore in our article, The Old Deceiver, this is entirely consistent with Moscow’s three-year-long strategy of attempting to claim ownership over the peace narrative while relentlessly pursuing war.See other examples of similar disinformation narratives, such as claims that Western arms support to Ukraine failing, backing international terrorists, that Ukraine is a terrorist state, and the West is to blame for guiding Kyiv, that the Kyiv regime has been carrying out a terrorist operation in the Kursk region, that Western arms supplies to the Kyiv regime stimulate the black market and cause terrorist acts, that Ukraine is a terrorist state that openly supports terrorist groups in the Sahel region, and that Ukraine plots terrorist attacks to disrupt Russia-US negotiations.

Western banks want to rob the Russian gold reserves
|
If Western banks want to appropriate Russia's gold and foreign exchange reserves, then the regionalisation of the global financial architecture will become irreversible.Western banks that have frozen these (Russia's gold and foreign exchange) reserves are constantly saying that they are going to steal them. This is not theft. Theft is the secret stealing of property, and this is open; it is robbery.
|
This is a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative that seeks to frame justified sanctions on Russia as an act of 'theft' or 'robbery' of Russian assets.This disinformation message aims to deter the EU and other nations from seizing Russia's frozen assets to fund Ukraine's reconstruction.In response to Russian aggression against Ukraine, the US, EU and several other countries froze about $300 billion in Russian assets deposited in Western banks.The European Commission presented various options to member states to ensure that Russia is held accountable for its atrocities and crimes during the unjustified and unprovoked aggression against Ukraine. The discussions also covered financial mechanisms including establishing a structure to manage frozen Russian assets. This plan involves investing these assets and utilising the proceeds to benefit Ukraine in the short term.Russian forces and their proxies have deliberately attacked and committed atrocities against civilians in Ukraine.

EU is an appendix of NATO
|
The EU was initially established as an economic union aimed at improving the lives of its citizens in a socio-economic sense. It has now become an aggressive military-political bloc that is essentially a branch, or rather an appendix of NATO.

Recurrent pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives, accusing the EU of being subordinate to NATO and serving NATO’s interests.Pro-Kremlin outlets often portray European states as vassals, puppet states or colonies of the US and NATO.The EU Member States are sovereign countries and make sovereign decisions about their own security and policies. EU and NATO have different tasks and history and a different set of Member States. The EU and NATO have respectively 27 and 32 member states, of which 23 are members of both.NATO is a collective defence alliance where decisions are adopted through consultation and consensus, including the deployment of US troops in the territory of member states. Countries decide to join NATO not to be “under US control”, but on a voluntary basis to receive the protection of the alliance, as the cases of Sweden and Finland have shown.NATO member countries don’t serve US goals but have their own agency, as proven by multiple episodes of disagreements inside the alliance, such as the refusal of Germany, France and other countries to let it take part in the invasion of Iraq in 2003 against US wishes or, more recently, Hungary and Turkey’s obstruction to Sweden and Finland joining the block.Countries apply, according to their own democratic procedures, to become NATO-members, the organisation does not "expand" or "swallow" countries.The EU is not at war with Russia. Since Russia launched its unjustified aggression against Ukraine on 24 February 2022, the West has been calling for Russian withdrawal from Ukraine and a peaceful settlement. Some EU member states the US and other G7 nations are providing Ukraine with military and technical assistance to help it repel Russia's aggression and restore its sovereignty over its internationally recognised borders of 1991.See similar disinformation narratives claiming that EU and NATO is almost the same thing, that NATO is a mechanism of American control over Europe, that NATO is Washington’s territorial expansion mechanism, that NATO became US armed wing ensuring the control of energy resources, that Europe has become a US military and political colony, that Russia should negotiation only with Washington because 90 percent of NATO is the US, that Europe is happy with being cannon fodder for the US.

NATO Secretary General says Ukraine belongs to the US
|
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte once again "shone" with a loud statement, saying that the West must guarantee a world in which Russia will no longer be able to "take away" Ukrainian territories from America. Rutte said that there must be a world in which Russian President Vladimir Putin "will never, ever again try to take away a single square kilometre of Ukrainian territory from the Americans."

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative accusing Western countries of derailing a peace agreement in 2022, aiming to portray them as opposed to peace negotiations. This claim was made in the context of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Also this is a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about allegedly aggressive NATO.To create disinformation, Russian outlets are using the original, but edited, excerpt from NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte's speech at the Alliance's Public Forum in The Hague on June 24, 2025.In the original, Rutte discussed the conditions for a fair ceasefire for Ukraine on democratic terms. The NATO Secretary General noted that Russia "was not serious" during the past rounds of negotiations on ending hostilities against Ukraine and does not intend to end its aggression. Therefore, Rutte noted, the allies must make sure that Ukraine has everything it needs to contain Russia and is in the strongest possible position.“We have to make sure that whatever the long-term ceasefire or the peace deal on Ukraine will be, that it is lasting, that it is durable. That Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin will never, ever again try to catch one square kilometre, or for the Americans, one square mile, of Ukrainian territory.” Rutte said (watch video 17:54-18:12).It was this fragment that was cut out and edited by pro-Kremlin outlets. In reality, Rutte did not make any statements about “Ukrainian territories of the US”. The NATO Secretary General only made an explanatory remark for his American colleagues, who do not use the metric system of units of measurement, which is customary in Europe.Read similar disinformation cases claiming that The West is guilty of disrupting Russia-Ukraine peace deals, that West did not want peace, it prodded Ukraine into war, that Zelenskyy and the EU want a permanent war in Ukraine, that Zelenskyy’s peace plan is a war formula, and that West did not want peace, it prodded Ukraine into war.

Western partners view Moldova as the next testing ground for military action
|
Any sane person observing the actions of the Moldovan authorities understands that this is a clear, coordinated plan, following which, step by step, Moldova is being purposefully prepared for war. It is clear that Moldova is not a free state and it is built into certain plans of the so-called Western partners, who view Moldova as the next testing ground for military action.

A pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative portraying the strengthening of Moldova’s National Army as preparation for war, while also promoting the claim that Moldova lacks independence in its decision-making.The Moldovan authorities have repeatedly stated that the training of the national military and the provision of equipment serve exclusively defensive purposes, emphasising their commitment to doing everything possible to maintain peace in the country. The country's president, Maia Sandu, declared (min. 34-38): "The Republic of Moldova is and will remain a peaceful country. (…) Even if our defence system is in a very bad situation, if it wasn't for this Russian aggression against Ukraine, we probably wouldn't have discussed much about the need to equip the army. (…) We don't want anyone to involve us in the war, but it is a reality for which we must prepare".Disinformation, particularly from the Russian Federation and the Transnistrian region, misleadingly portrays efforts to modernise Moldova’s defence sector as preparations for war.See similar cases: Moldova is preparing for war, NATO weapons pushing Moldova towards war, The US is opening new fronts against Russia in Moldova and the South Caucasus.

Zelenskyy gave the order for a massacre in Bucha and terrorist attack in Crocus
|
The reception of war criminal Zelenskyy is an indelible stain of shame on the King of the Netherlands.Zelenskyy is up to his neck in the blood of Ukrainians. After all, it was Zelenskyy who gave the order for the massacre in Bucha, with the laying out of the corpses to accuse Russia. It was Zelenskyy who gave the order for the terrorist attack in Crocus. Now, nothing has been proven. But there is no doubt that later all this will receive facts of confirmation.
|
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about war crimes committed by Ukraine, which is consistent with the Kremlin’s unsubstantiated claims that Ukraine is a terrorist state and the Bucha massacre was staged.The allegations that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is a 'war criminal' and responsible for the massacre in Bucha or a Crocus attack are false.Evidence of Russian atrocities in Bucha is overwhelming. Several executions and the shooting of Ukrainian civilians in Bucha were recorded on video by witnesses and Ukrainian drones. Satellite images show that some of the corpses were already lying on the streets weeks before the Russian withdrawal. Incriminatory radio conversations by Russian troops were intercepted and released by German intelligence.Dozens of Bucha survivors have been interviewed by world-class international outlets, including The New York Times, BBC, The Washington Post, Associated Press, Der Spiegel, Le Monde, Radio France Internationale, Al Jazeera or El País. Ukrainian forensic teams are uncovering further evidence of these Russian war crimes.Other false allegations denying Russian involvement in the Bucha massacres were further debunked by international outlets like Deutsche Welle, El País or France24. Furthermore, a similar pattern of Russian war crimes has emerged in places like Borodyanka, Chernihiv, Hostomel and others.Video footage showing dead bodies on the streets of Bucha has been fact-checked and debunked by the BBC, Bellingcat, The Atlantic Council, Mediazona, The Insider, Sky News and others, proving that Russian armed forces committed the massacre.The evidence includes survivors’ testimonies, reports by Ukrainian and Western journalists, and investigations from several human rights organisations such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.In December 2022, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights presented a report about killings, summary executions and attacks on civilians in the north of Ukraine, which contained a detailed description of human rights violations in the initial months of Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified invasion of Ukraine.The European Union has condemned in the strongest possible terms the reported atrocities committed by the Russian armed forces. The EU called for accountability for human rights and international law violations by the Russian Armed Forces, including full support for the investigation launched by the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.The Crocus attack was claimed by ISIS, with no credible evidence of Ukrainian involvement.

The West is trying to carry out a colour revolution in Iran
|
The West is nurturing the fifth column in Iran and trying to inspire it with the name of the son of the Shah who was overthrown in 1979. Here he is, Reza Pahlavi. Here he is, even with a video message. "Compatriots! The Islamic Republic has come to an end. The repressive regime is falling apart and only an uprising of the people is needed to finally put an end to this nightmare. The time has come to rise up and take back Iran. I will be with you soon." The style of colour revolutions is clearly visible here. It is like the pseudo-president Guaido in Venezuela, how housewife Tikhanovskaya was tipped to become the leader of Belarus, French citizen Zurabishvili in the presidential chair of Georgia, or some ex-oligarch Khodorkovsky - the ruler of Russia. In any case, the West is betting on the dismemberment of Iran and chaos in the country. This is their favorite.
|
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative framing any popular protests, real or hypothetic, as Western-backed ‘colour revolutions’. Conspiracy narrative relies on the absence of any reasons for such protests.This is an exploitation of the context around the missile strikes carried out by the US on Iranian nuclear installations on 22 June 2025. The US Secretary of Defence stated that regime change in Iran was not an aim of the operation. Reza Pahlavi indeed speaks out in favour of a constituent assembly in Iran that would transform the "theocratic monarchy" into a "secular democracy". He lives in exile because the Iranian regime repress any political dissent. Despite this, youth protests in Iran occur regularly - against election fraud and women wearing hijabs. Notorious were also women's protests against the Islamic Republic's ban to attend football matches.As for other political leaders, Svetlana Tikhanovskaya is one of the opposition leaders of Belarus. Contrary to the claim about colour revolutions, protests in Belarus erupted to contest the results of the presidential election in Belarus in 2020, which were not monitored by independent experts, and are largely considered fraudulent by both international observers and a large part of the Belarusian society. Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili is a Georgian who grew up in the Georgian diaspora in France, which emerged from political refugees after the Red Army's invasion and the Sovietization of Georgia in 1921.

Europe back to the Stone Age as it lost €1 trillion for rejecting Russia’s gas
|
Europe is back to the Stone Age. The losses to the European economy due to the reduction in Russian natural gas supplies now exceed 1 trillion euros. This is important because we have a figure for the European Union.
|
The claim is demonstrably false. The figure is unverifiable and very possibly made up, as no original source, timeframe, or any other measurable parameters are provided. The allegation was originally made in January 2025 and has been repeated since then by pro-Kremlin disinformation. Talking about unsubstantiated claims as if they were established facts while introducing minor variations, as in this case, is a frequent pro-Kremlin disinformation technique.Claims about Europe “returning to the Stone Age” are a massive exaggeration aimed to magnify its alleged economic difficulties and present an apocalyptic image of the situation, while advancing a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about an imminent collapse. While Europe’s economic growth has slowed down compared to the early years of the decade, with the EU’s GDP growth falling from 6.01% in 2021 to 3.48% in 2022 to 0.45% in 2023, it started to slowly grow again in 2024 to 0.9% and is projected to reach 1.1% in 2025 and 1.6% in 2026. If the current trajectory remains, the EU will end 2025 being the second biggest economic powerhouse in the world with a combined GDP of 19.99 thousand billion dollars, above China and only behind the US.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 Europe is committing energy suicide without Russia, that instead of crushing Russia, sanctions led to US debt and Europe’s freezing, that according to the Draghi report, EU faces economic difficulties due to rejection of Russian energy, or that a potential ban on Russian LNG supplies would cost the EU one-fifth of imports.

Ukraine is a Nazi tool of the globalists for a nuclear attack on Russia
|
Ukraine is a Nazi tool of the globalists. In Ukraine, neo-Nazism flourishes in an open form; the rehabilitation of Nazi criminals and persecution based on language and religion have become everyday practice. And then, the nuclear factor: the constant bombing of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, attempts to hit the Kursk nuclear power plant, and finally, attacks on the Russian nuclear triad.
|
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives casting Ukraine as a mere Western tool, accusing Ukraine of Nazism and portraying Ukraine as an enemy of the Orthodox Church and the Ukrainian leadership as pathologically Russophobic and accusing Ukraine of mistreating the country's Russian-speaking population.Also recurring disinformation narratives about nuclear issues aiming to justify Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.The narrative portraying Ukraine as dominated by neo-Nazis resorting to terrorism is a long-standing piece of Russian disinformation, unsupported by credible evidence. While far-right groups exist in Ukraine, as in many countries, they do not define the government or society, and their influence is minimal. Since 1991, when the Soviet Union collapsed and Ukraine gained independence, the country has elected six presidents and changed parties in government several times, which illustrates political diversity, democratic dynamics and its solid statehood.There is no persecution of the Orthodox Church. On 24 August 2024, the Ukrainian government signed a law banning churches affiliated with Russia, following a series of investigations related to parishes that Kyiv says could be taking orders from Moscow.This mostly affected the activities of the so-called Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate [UOC-MP] in Ukraine, which is affiliated with Russia and considered a key influence tool for Moscow in the country, and whose leadership has voiced its full support for the Russian war on Ukraine including siding closely with Putin, blessing soldiers and Russian guns, and offering the church's support.There is 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.No evidence is provided to back the claims that Ukraine has bombed nuclear power plants in Zaporizhzhia and Kursk. Allegations made by Russia’s intelligence services cannot be considered as such, given their proven history of making unsubstantiated claims based on faked or non-existent evidence, for example about US biolaboratories in Ukraine or the presence of French combat troops on the Ukrainian frontlines.Read similar cases claiming that The Zelenskyy regime began a new stage of persecution of Ukrainian Orthodox Church, that Big Five ready to continue the war until the last Ukrainian is killed, that Anglo-Saxons are fighting with Russia until the last Ukrainian and Pole, that Ukraine persecutes believers and ministers of the Orthodox Church and Russian speakers, that Ukraine is using methods of nuclear terrorism against Russia, that Ukraine plans a provocation using a "dirty bomb" to portray Russia as a nuclear terrorist.

EU, NATO justify militarisation by portraying Russia as hellish monster
|
Europe and NATO are following the path of rampant militarisation. NATO needs to portray Russia as an aggressor in order to push through the decision at the summit in The Hague on 24–25 June 2025 to increase military spending to 5 per cent of member states' GDP. To justify this decision, they have to depict a kind of hellish monster. According to NATO officials, Russia fits that role best.
|
This is a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative aimed at discrediting NATO and the EU by framing their defensive measures as aggressive and unjustified. This claim was made in the context of a statement by NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte that Russia may attack the Alliance within the next 5 years and the NATO Summit taking place in the Hague on 24 and 25 of July 2025. This narrative misrepresents the motivations behind NATO and EU defence decisions. NATO is a defensive alliance, whose aim is to provide security for its member states. NATO and European countries are not increasing military spending simply because they arbitrarily need an "aggressor" figure. The rise in defence budgets is a direct response to real threats emanating from Moscow, notably in the wake of its aggression against Ukraine in 2014, when Russia illegally annexed the Crimean Peninsula and instigated a separatist revolt in eastern regions of the country, which has led to the ongoing unjustified and unprovoked invasion, launched in February 2022.The EU is committed to becoming more responsible for its own defence and better equipped to act and deal autonomously with immediate and future challenges and threats, including Russia’s war and its repercussions on European security, which constitute an existential challenge for the EU. The RE-ARM Europe/Rediness 2030 Plan that was presented to the EU leaders could mobilise up to EUR 800 billion, to give Europe the military capability it needs to face today's threats.Russia has a long record of other aggressive actions such as cyberattacks, disinformation campaigns and interference in elections. It has also staged military provocations near NATO borders. Besides, top Russian officials have repeatedly issued aggressive statements against EU and NATO member states, including threats to use nuclear weapons. These documented events have prompted defensive responses from NATO and the EU. Russia’s aggressive rhetoric and behaviour made Finland and Sweden join the Alliance in 2023 after decades of neutrality.Read similar disinformation cases claiming that NATO hopes for revenge after the defeat in WWII, that NATO plans to conquer the whole of Russia, and that NATO is preparing to unleash another conflict on Russia's borders.

There are political prisoners in Poland
|
Recently, there was a rally in Warsaw in support of local political prisoners detained for their opposition to state policies. One of them is Artem Dubski, an activist persecuted by the Polish authorities, who expressed a desire to return to Belarus. This rally shows the importance of bringing the issue of a difficult situation of political prisoners [in Poland] to the attention of the international community.
|
This message is a part of a wider narrative about the lack of democracy in Western countries. In this case, it promotes the idea that an “aggressive” Poland persecutes people for their political views.Artem Dubski is a Belarusian national who is under a criminal investigation in Poland for his repeated public humiliation of the Ukrainian refugees living in this country. In 2022, this person left Poland and moved to Russia.Poland is a democratic country. The pro-Kremlin media often present the arrests of Russian spies and persons violating Polish laws as “political repressions”. The claims that the Polish decision to expel these persons is a violation of the freedom of speech or a “systemic discrimination of the Russian citizens in Poland” are not true, as these well-identified people posed a security threat to Poland.Read other messages accusing Poland of alleged repressions against the so-called “political dissidents” here, such as The Polish special services persecute anyone appealing for talks with Moscow and Minsk and Warsaw is planning to murder the Polish dissident judge hiding in Belarus.

NATO summit evokes terror tales about Russia to justify military expenditure
|
NATO leaders need terror tales about Russia’s supposed threat to justify their plans to further increase the alliance's capabilities and increase its members' military budgets. At the next NATO summit, the launch of a large-scale program to further increase the alliance's capabilities is planned. To implement it, the military budgets of NATO countries will be increased. So it is clear that the Atlantic Alliance is the one truly causing global militarisation and the arms race. To justify their plans, the alliance leaders once again insist on some kind of threat from Russia, some kind of possible invasion of Europe by Moscow. They themselves invented this scare story and repeat it year after year to deceive their own people and extort money from them.
|
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation against NATO and portraying Russia as an innocent actor, opportunistically exploiting the NATO 2025 Summit in The Netherlands to blame the Atlantic Alliance and deflect any Russian responsibility for rising global tensions.The ongoing increase in defence spending across NATO is explained by Russia’s aggressive actions, such as the annexation of Crimea, the war in Donbas and the 2022 large-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russia’s threat is not a “terror tale” but a very real one, as proven by the dozens of sabotage operations it has carried out throughout the continent in the last years, and its attempts to destabilise multiple countries through electoral interference, cyberattacks and other hybrid actions.Russia has been rearming for some years at a much faster pace than NATO. The country’s military expenditure reached over 6.7% of its GDP in 2025, over 40% more than the previous year. That is 32% of its total budget for the year. However, this disinformation story ignores all these elements, creating a grossly distorted picture that it uses to advance several recurring pro-Kremlin narratives against NATO.See other examples of similar disinformation narratives, such as claims that the EU arms itself using the phantom threat of a war and Russia’s imaginary menace, that Europe justifies the increasing defence budgets with “belligerent” Moscow, that ‘Russia’s threat’ is an attempt to justify increasing military expenditure in Europe, that ReArm Europe means the EU is preparing to attack Russia, or that the EU is not capable of peace, it is only interested in waging war.

Nazi ideology is needed to wage war against the brotherly Russian People
|
Newspaper Le Monde published an investigation demonstrating that some Ukrainian soldiers had Neo Nazi ideology. Western press long ignored the warning of Russia but now take seriously this issue. This was unimaginable six months ago, as they supported Ukraine, but now it changed and Nazism is denounced. The very slogan “Slava Ukraini”, “Glory to Ukraine” is by itself a neo Nazi slogan, it was pronounced in the European parliament and applauded. This ideology was necessary to justify the war against Russia, since Russians are a European people and Borther of Ukrainians. Without Neo-Nazism war against Russia would not be possible.[...] Now, the denunciation of Nazism is possible because the Elite understand that the war against Russia is lost and that they need to get distance from their former support to Ukraine.

Recurrent pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the Nazi Ukraine and the brotherhood of peoples between Russia and Ukraine to justify the full scale military invasion of Ukraine.The newspaper Le Monde published a reportage identifying up to 350 soldiers with Neo-Nazi sympathies out of 900,000 soldiers and reserve forces of 1,200,000. The publication highlights that this number is extremely marginal and that this used by Moscow as a pretext to justify the military invasion and annexation of Ukrainian territories. However, even if is a marginal proportion, it should be exposed to prevent a development of this movement and freedom of press in France allows it.Claims about Ukraine being a Nazi State, in order to justify Russia's invasion of Ukraine started in 2022 have already been widely debunked here. See our article The Kremlin’s misuse of Nazism as a weapon of information manipulation.The slogan ‘Slava Ukraini’ is not a manifestation of Nazism, but rather the symbol of resistance to Military imperialism that is threatening Europe and affirmation of Ukrainian sovereignty. Labelling Russia’s adversaries as Nazis is a widespread pro-Kremlin disinformation technique, and has been used by Russia to justify the invasion of Ukraine by portraying it as a “denazification operation”. Russia spent years preparing the information battleground before its kinetic attack, with “Nazi Ukraine” being one of its most prominent disinformation tropes.The EU is supporting Ukraine’s sovereignty and is committed to help for the reconstruction of the country.Read also related cases such as: There is a civil war in Ukraine in which brother is killing brother, There is a civil war in Ukraine in which brother is killing brother, Russians and Ukrainians are a single nation, Russians and Ukrainians are a single nation, Ukrainians, Belarusians and Russians are one single nation, Russians and Ukrainians are one people.

The Middle East conflict is the fight of collective West against Global South
|
The ongoing conflict in the Middle East is the war between the former colonizers and their former colonies. The collective West is unhappy with the development of the Global South countries. The former hegemon is doing its best to continue having a leg up. The outcome of the conflict will tell who will have control over markets, resources and technologies for the coming decades if not centuries.

NATO invents Russian threat to justify increased military spending and arms race
|
A large-scale programme to expand NATO’s capabilities is expected to be announced at the upcoming NATO summit in The Hague on 24 and 25 June 2025. To implement it, NATO countries plan to increase their military budgets. Meanwhile, the bloc’s members already spend more on military purposes than all other countries in the world combined. It is clear who is really provoking global militarisation and the arms race. To justify their plans, the alliance’s leadership once again talks about a supposed Russian invasion of Europe. They have invented this bogeyman themselves and repeat this story year after year in order to mislead their own people and extract money from them.
|
This is a recurring disinformation narrative from pro-Kremlin outlets accusing NATO of aggressiveness and warmongering.This claim distorts the reasons behind NATO’s actions and misrepresents the current security situation in Europe. The Alliance has become aware of a threat from Russia since the latter attacked Ukraine in 2014, which led to the ongoing full-scale aggression. This unprovoked and unjustified invasion, launched in February 2022, has made NATO member states more conscious of the situation caused by increased Russian aggressiveness, including statements by some top Russian officials threatening to use force against European nations and even launch nuclear warfare.NATO is a defensive alliance that responds to real threats. The increase in military spending is not driven by a whimsical threat, but by Russia’s repeated violations of international law, cyberattacks, interference with foreign elections, disinformation campaigns and other hostile actions. These are not imaginary scenarios but concrete actions that have destabilised the region and raised legitimate concerns among NATO member states.The allegation that NATO is provoking a global arms race overlooks the fact that it is Russia’s aggressive behaviour that has shifted the security landscape in Europe, making it necessary for the Alliance to adapt and strengthen its defences. NATO has consistently stated that its primary aim is to deter conflict and defend its members, not to escalate tension. The decisions to reinforce NATO’s eastern flank and increase defence readiness came only after Russia demonstrated its willingness to use military force to redraw borders, something Europe has not seen since the Second World War.Read similar disinformation cases claiming that Europe uses the "Russian threat" to re-militarise, that The phantom 'Russian threat' is used to counter European disintegration, and that ReArm Europe is accompanied by a false Russophobic narrative about a belligerent Russia.

Iran is a peaceful state unlike the US and Ukraine
|
Tell me, please, where is the terrorist activity that is constantly being talked about from Iran, and how does it manifest? What regimes has Iran overthrown? Where and what political figures has Iran killed? I know where Ukraine carried out terrorist attacks. I know where America carried out terrorist attacks. About the European Union - maybe, I don't know. American proxies, which the Americans created in Afghanistan, ultimately carried out the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. After which the global fight against terror began, which led to the whole world now being mired in terror. And what did Iran do?
|
Recurrent false narrative about Ukraine and Western countries accusing them of terrorist, chemical and biological weapons attacks. Conspiracy theories are used to advance such narratives. Amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine, pro-Kremlin outlets have falsely accused Ukraine of various crimes: from organising Dagestan's anti-Jewish unrest to playing a role in fires in California.On 22 June 2025, the United States carried out airstrikes against nuclear sites in Iran, which American officials claim have significantly delayed Tehran’s ability to develop a nuclear weapon. The strikes occurred amid ongoing hostilities between Israel and Iran, with both countries continuing to exchange attacks.The claim that Iran is a peaceful state, especially when contrasted with countries like the United States or Ukraine, does not hold up under scrutiny. Iran has developed and maintained a vast network of proxy groups across the Middle East, which it funds, arms, and trains to advance its strategic interests. These include Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, various Shia militias in Iraq and Syria, and Hamas in Gaza. These groups have been involved in numerous conflicts, attacks on civilians, and destabilising activities, often acting as extensions of Iranian foreign policy. Iran’s support for these proxies allows it to exert influence and wage asymmetric warfare without engaging in direct state-to-state conflict.One of the most prominent examples is Iran’s backing of Hamas, a Sunni Islamist group that governs the Gaza Strip. Despite sectarian differences, Iran has provided Hamas with financial aid, weapons, and training, viewing it as a key player in its broader resistance axis against Israel and Western influence. Similarly, Iran’s support for Hezbollah enabled the group to become a powerful military and political force in Lebanon, while also engaging in operations in Syria and against Israel. These actions, combined with Iran’s involvement in propping up the Assad regime and its role in Yemen’s civil war through the Houthis, paint a picture of a state that actively fuels regional conflicts rather than promoting peace.See similar cases such as Iran has never invaded, carried out assassinations or sought nuclear weapons and Ukraine prepares new provocations against Russia with European intelligence services.

The West has come up with a horror story about a possible Russian invasion to intimidate its people
|
Western countries themselves came up with a horror story about an alleged possibility of the Russian invasion to intimidate their people and "pull" money out of them. Here we are again faced with the usual and shameless lies.
|
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative, accusing the West of warmongering, portraying the West/NATO as having a belligerent agenda against Russia and claiming that the “Russian threat” is a false idea.This claim was made after the NATO Secretary General Rutte said NATO needed a "400% increase in air and missile defence" to credibly defend itself against attacks and in the context of the NATO summit in the Hague, where it was widely expected that NATO members would agree on an increase of defense spending. On 24 February 2022, Russia launched the full-scale invasion of Ukraine under several false pretexts, such as committing genocide against people residing in eastern parts of Ukraine. Putin’s and other Russian leaders’ numerous statements claiming that Ukraine is part of Russia are attempts to deny Ukraine the right to exist as an independent and sovereign state. The Russian war of aggression has been characterised by numerous war crimes and crimes against humanity.Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine poses the gravest threat to Euro-Atlantic security in decades, according to various different assessments. (See e.g. here and here). See other similar cases: Europe uses the "Russian threat" to re-militarise; Russia is not a threat to Europe, Europe is a threat to Russia; NATO uses “Russian threat” to justify its actions; NATO uses false “Russian threat” as pretext to expand its presence near Russian border, NATO exploits the idea of a “Russian threat” to deploy near Russian border, NATO does not serve the purpose of war prevention, it continues to wage wars; Russian threat is a myth; The phantom 'Russian threat' is used to counter European disintegration.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine abandons its dead soldiers
|
The Ukrainian Armed forces retreat and abandon their dead soldiers. To establish the death of a soldier missing in action a decision in a high court is required which is difficult; this explains why Ukraine leaves dead bodies on the battlefield and refused the bodies that have been generously identified [...] by Russia. 6,000 repatriated bodies would cost in compensation to families 90 billion hryvnias, or nearly 2 billion euros. Ukraine demonstrated its lack of willingness to negotiate in an honest and healthy way. Ukraine did not respect, now they do not comply with their commitments in Istanbul.

Recurrent pro-Kremlin attempt to demonize of Ukrainian armed forces in the context of the full scale Russian invasion of Ukraine.The Istanbul talks included provisions for the return of the remains of over 6,000 fallen soldiers from each side. On 11 June the first part of the exchange of bodies took place, followed by an additional exchange later on in the same week. Ukraine brought home the bodies of more than 2400 soldiers killed in the war with Russia.The argument that the 15 million hryvnias in compensation would represent an immediate spending of 2 Billion Euro and that this would bankrupt Ukraine is not exact, since only 20% of the sum is immediately paid, the remaining being equal instalments over the following 40 months. Another difficulty delaying the process comes from the necessity to check ever body that is sometimes packed in several bags, had falsified cause of death or were not members of Ukrainian forces.Read also related stories such as: Ukrainians learned from NATO a Jesuit tactic: stink the air with left dead bodies hopping that the stench will push Russians to leave, or Ukraine systematically tortures Russian prisoners.

The terrorist attack in Crocus was planned and carried out in the interests of Ukraine
|
The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation has established that this inhuman crime, the terrorist attack in "Crocus" was planned and committed in the interests of the current leadership of Ukraine to destabilise the political situation in our country. Moreover, a number of the accused have planned to blow up an entertainment complex in the city of Kaspiysk in the Republic of Dagestan, but this crime was prevented. Preparations for the terrorist attack in "Crocus" began several months in advance. Some of the defendants came to the Russian Federation from abroad, where they were trained.

A recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative portraying Ukraine as a terrorist state. This disinformation story is part of a wider campaign by Russian officials and media, including by Vladimir Putin himself, to baselessly blame Ukraine and other actors for the attack.By trying to link the Crocus terrorist attack to Ukraine, pro-Kremlin media are trying to stoke support and gain legitimacy for their ongoing illegal invasion of Ukraine.There is no reliable evidence linking the Ukrainian leadership to this tragedy. Kyiv strongly denied any involvement in the assault on the Crocus City Hall music venue in Krasnogorsk, and the Islamic State group have claimed responsibility.US officials have intelligence that the Islamic State group's Afghan affiliate IS-Khorasan is responsible for the Moscow attack. “ISIS bears sole responsibility for this attack. There was no Ukrainian involvement whatsoever,” White House National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said in a statement.The US was legally obliged to warn Moscow of a possible attack in Russia aimed at large gatherings before issuing a public advisory to citizens in the country. The alert was dismissed as "provocative", "blackmail", and an "attempt to intimidate, destabilise our country" by Putin. He said: “I’ll remind you of recent, let’s say, directly, provocative statements of certain official Western structures about potential terror attacks in Russia. All of this looks like obvious blackmail and an attempt to intimidate, destabilise our country”.In a recent development, news have appeared that Iran had warned Moscow a few days before of an imminent attack by ISIS based on information obtained from arrested ISIS terrorists in Iran.Even Putin himself acknowledged late on 25 March that Islamists were committing the attack.For background, read our analysis: The “Russophobia” Myth: Appealing to the Lowest Feelings.See other similar cases: The Kyiv regime is a global terrorist threat; Ukrainian attack on the Crimean bridge was a terrorist attack; Kyiv uses the same methods as ISIS to recruit children; Ukraine’s terrorist regime attacked the Crimean Bridge with help from US and British intelligence services; Kyiv's involvement in the Crocus terrorist attack is evident.

Polish media spread fakes about Russia kidnapping Ukrainian children
|
The allegations against Russia in the alleged kidnapping of the Ukrainian children are fully made up by the Kyiv regime. The Polish-speaking media openly declare that the Russians have kidnapped the Ukrainian children from the frontline areas in order to “Russify” them. This claim is clearly false - most of the families living in the east and south of Ukraine are Russian-speaking. Therefore, it is not clear how would they be “Russified”. Kyiv does has not provide any names and evidence on this alleged Putin’s crime of child kidnapping.
|
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative aimed at diverting attention from Russia’s documented involvement in abducting Ukrainian children.In June 2023, the United Nations added Russia to its list of countries that violate children’s rights. According to the UN, in the first months after the invasion, Russian armed forces used widespread violence against civilians, including children. In the context of the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the UN verified 2,334 grave violations against 1,482 children, including 91 children who were victims of multiple violations. The UN verified cases of sexual violence by the Russian army against three Ukrainian girls aged between 4 and 17 years in the Kyiv and Chernihiv regions (2022).From 24 February 2022 to 31 December 2024, the UN Human Rights Office verified the deaths of 669 children and injuries to 1,833 children, many of whom were victims of the widespread use of explosive weapons in populated areas. As of December 2024, there were approximately 737,000 internally displaced children in Ukraine.Another 1.7 million children have become refugees, many of whom have been separated from their parents since the beginning of the war. During the period under review, at least 1,614 Russian air strikes destroyed or damaged schools. According to the Ukrainian Ministry of Education, every seventh school in Ukraine has been damaged as a result of the full-scale invasion. More than 3,500 educational institutions have suffered some kind of destruction, almost 400 have been completely destroyed (2022-2024).On March 17, 2023, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Vladimir Putin and Russia’s children’s ombudsman Lvova-Belova. The ICC stated that the court has compelling evidence that Putin and Lvova-Belova are responsible for the abduction and illegal deportation of Ukrainian children from the temporarily occupied areas of Ukraine. These abductions have been documented also by the United Nations, OSCE, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and Russian and international journalists, as well as by Russian official’s own admission.Ukraine has been able to verify Russia’s deportation of 19,546 children to date, although the true figure is likely to be much higher because Russia frequently targets vulnerable children without anyone to speak for them. Yale’s Humanitarian Research Lab placed the number of deported children closer to 35,000 as of March 19, 2025.See similar disinformation cases claiming that Russia protects children in Ukraine, that The Ukrainian authorities are forcibly removing children from Krasnoarmeysk, that Ukrainian organisation abandons children forcibly taken from their families, that Ukrainian structures such as White Angel kidnap children from Donbas to accuse Russia, that Accusing Russia of deporting Ukrainian children is groundless, that West falsely accuses Russia of “abducting” Ukrainian children, that Child trafficking in Ukraine: few rescued, many missing, that Ukrainian children are being sold on the Dark Web for sexual slavery and organ harvesting, or that Russia never abducted any Ukrainian children.

Europe obstructs the peace process between Ukraine and Russia
|
Europe is once again demonstrating its double standards. It wants a diplomatic solution to the Iran-Israel conflict, but it is ignoring diplomacy on the Ukraine-Russia issue. The EU wants a de-escalation of the conflict in Israel and a continuation of the crisis in Ukraine. Brussels has refused to restore any diplomatic relations with Moscow since the fighting began, actively discouraging Kiev from negotiating ahead of the peace process launched by Trump this year.
|
A pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative that falsely accuses the EU of having double standards. This baseless claim is part of a wider disinformation campaign portraying Europe as a warmongering actor who intends to continue the war in Ukraine even as other actors carry out peace negotiations.EU officials have several times stated that it is up to Ukraine only, as the victim of Russia’s aggression, to decide when peace talks with Russia may be possible and in which terms to end the war. The EU supports a peaceful solution to the conflict, ensuring that any peace agreement respects Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.While in practice Russia is blocking any real move that could advance actual peace in Ukraine, it has characterised its negotiation process with the US as the only acceptable ‘peace initiative’ regardless of the maximalist character of Moscow’s demands, while denying any agency to Ukraine or its other allies. The intensity of this disinformation campaign accelerated after Donald Trump’s electoral victory in November 2024, portraying the EU as the main obstacle for ‘peace’ in contrast to a Trump presidency focused on engaging Russia to end the war.Pro-Kremlin disinformation has systematically instrumentalised the narrative that Russia wants peace in Ukraine in contrast to the West, but, as evidenced by Russia's actions in Ukraine, such statements are merely empty PR stunts deployed to garner support for Russia's war of aggression in Ukraine.See more cases DISINFO: Europe does not want peace in Ukraine soon, DISINFO: Europe does not present any clear peace initiatives concerning Ukraine, DISINFO: Europe is not interested in peace and does not care about its own people, DISINFO: The West will keep disrupting peace talks

EU Mission spies on behalf of the Armenian army
|
According to Ritter, EUMA conducts large-scale investigations along the border, collects facts and sends relevant reports to Brussels - to political decision-makers, so that EU representatives can draw agreed conclusions and have a clear picture of the situation on the border. “These reports are not presented to the parties,” Ritter says, again telling a white lie. Because EUMA does nothing more than transfer the incomplete information it collects to the Armenian army.
|
A disinformation narrative which promoting anti-EU feeling. The piece baselessly accuses the EUMA of espionage. It was published in the context of the statements made by the EUMA Head of Mission, Markus Ritter.Although the claims have been repeatedly debunked, pro-Kremlin outlets still insist on promoting the claims. EUMA is a civilian mission that observes and reports on the security situation on the ground, contributes to the security of the people in conflict-affected areas in Armenia and contributes to building confidence on the ground. Through its presence, the EUMA also contributes to ensuring an environment conducive to the normalisation efforts between Armenia and Azerbaijan, supported by the EU. The entire staff is civilian; the Head of Mission, Markus Ritter, is a senior civilian police officer.The EU launched EUMA in response to an official request from the Armenian authorities for a comprehensive EU civilian mission in December 2022. It has 209 staff members on the ground. EUMA’s role is to enhance human security and foster confidence between Armenia and Azerbaijan, which is a crucial part of the EU’s initiative to promote peace and stability in the region.See our article examining pro-Kremlin claims during the first year of EUMA.Additionally, the piece falsely claims that the EU has no other mission like the one in Armenia. Regarding other EU missions, the EU has civilian missions in Moldova, Ukraine, Georgia, and other countries.

Russia was forced to recognize DNR and LNR
|
Russia did not recognise [the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics] for eight years. We tried to negotiate. We were forced to recognise their independence and then begin to provide them with support, including military support, in order to put an end to the war unleashed by our opponents in the West and those on whom they relied and are now relying in Ukraine – extreme nationalists and neo-Nazis.
|
This is a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative justifying Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine. The disinformation narrative about the West being responsible for the war in Ukraine and Russia defending itself is one of the major myths about Russia's invasion of Ukraine in pro-Kremlin sources. This false claim is a classic disinformation tactic to portray Russia as the victim of its own war of choice. Pro-Russian outlets tried to pretend that someone else was doing the invading and routinely assert that Ukraine is nothing more than a Western weapon against Russia.Russia's aggression against Ukraine was unprovoked and unjustified. Russia is the only country responsible for the invasion of Ukraine. It has been coming up with different manipulative explanations and false pretexts for its aggression since the beginning of its hostilities. It cited denazifying and demilitarising Ukraine as well as ensuring its neutral status as among the main reasons for the full-scale invasion at the beginning. Protecting the residents of the self-proclaimed separatist entities in Eastern Ukraine from alleged genocide and imposing the use of the Russian language in Ukraine were also cited.The Russian invasion is aimed at destroying Ukraine as a state and annihilating the Ukrainians as a nation. These plans were openly laid out in an article titled “What Russia should do with Ukraine” in April 2022. See also our review here.It was Putin’s personal decision to invade Ukraine and start the largest military conflict in Europe since WWII.Since 2014, Russia has waged large-scale armed aggression against Ukraine. It is responsible for the outbreak of the conflict in 2014, after having illegally annexed the Crimean Peninsula and engineered the creation of rebel militias in Donetsk, Luhansk and other places, with its army actively participating in military clashes.According to international law, Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson remain legally part of Ukraine. The illegitimate annexation of these regions took place amid a full invasion by a foreign power and under military occupation, and after sham referenda that didn’t meet international standards to be considered legitimate. The "referenda" were held illegally, under duress, and on territories which Russia does not even fully control.The results of these sham polls were universally rejected by leading international and human rights organisations, including the United Nations, the OSCE, NATO, as well as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.Russia's inclusion of these territories in its constitution does not make them legally part of Russia. This unilateral action contradicts international law and UN resolutions.Labelling Russia’s adversaries as Nazis is a frequently used pro-Kremlin disinformation technique, and has been used by Russia to try to justify the invasion of Ukraine by portraying it as a “denazification operation”. Russia spent years preparing the information battleground before its full-scale invasion, with “Nazi Ukraine” being one of its most prominent disinformation features.The myth of “Nazi Ukraine” has been widely used by Putin and pro-Kremlin outlets since Russia attacked Ukraine and illegally annexed Crimea in 2014. It is also being used to justify Russia’s unprovoked aggression against Ukraine.Learn more about the reasons behind the Kremlin's obsession with framing Ukraine as a Nazi state in the EUvsDisinfo analysis titled "Nazi east, Nazi west, Nazi over the cuckoo's nest" and "Why does Putin portray himself as the tamer of neo-Nazism".Read similar disinformation cases claiming that Russia invaded Ukraine to defend itself from an Anglo-Saxon provocation, that Russia was literally forced to launch a special operation in Ukraine, that Donbas would be scorched earth without Russia's intervention, that Ukraine was about to invade DPR and kill civilians in Donetsk in 2022, that Putin 2022 intervention necessary because Ukrainians were massacring Russians in Donbas, that Nazi Kyiv regime never represented the people of Crimea, Donbas and Novorossiya, that Neo-Nazi regime in Kyiv was formed as a result of the coup in 2014, or that Russia was forced to attack Ukraine in February 2022.
