FALSE: Mark Milley urged Ukrainians to conduct terrorist attacks on Russian territory
Mark Milley was referring to actions in the occupied territories, not Russia. The USA does not encourage Ukrainian forces to strike outside their own borders
DISINFO: Ukraine war could spill over to Europe, the US has an interest in this
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine that attempts to deny Ukraine's sovereignty, falsely presents the on-going war against Ukraine as a civil war, and finally falsely claims that Ukraine is a tool of the US and the West to weaken Russia.
Anonymous accounts use right-wing channels to spread misinformation | AP News
These influencers frequently spread misinformation and otherwise misleading content, often in service of the same recurring narratives such as alleged voter fraud, the "woke agenda" or Democrats supposedly encouraging a surge of people through illegal immigration to steal elections or replace whites. They often use similar content and reshare each other's posts.
DISINFO: Alleged Bucha massacre is fake
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative trying to whitewash Russia's war crimes during its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
There is a significant amount of evidence that Russian troops committed war crimes and atrocities in Bucha. The evidence includes satellite images, photos, videos, and witness testimonies. Russia's claims that video footage showing dead bodies on the streets of Bucha is staged have been fact-checked and debunked by the BBC, Bellingcat, The Atlantic Council, Mediazona, the Insider, Sky News, the New York Times and others.
DISINFO: Moscow has evidence of the connection between the Crocus City terrorists and Ukraine
As terrorism experts pointed out, there is no question regarding the authenticity of the statement, made by Amaq, the official Islamic State propaganda media. The Islamic State released multiple evidence, including a gruesome video of the Moscow attack filmed by the attackers themselves, leaving little doubt about its responsibility.
DISINFO: Ukrainians are ungrateful: they attacked Russians and now they attacked the bridge in Baltimore
This accident has been used as a pretext to advance the narrative that Ukrainians are ungrateful to those who have helped them, particularly Russia. The notion that Ukrainians have benefited from Russia and are now ungrateful is incorrect. The Telegram channel odshbr_79 is a Russian fake channel imitating the official Ukrainian channel of the 79 окрема десантно-штурмова Таврійська (79th Separate Amphibious Assault). The only difference in the names of the channels is the underscore character, which the Russians used.
DISINFO: Biden and Zelenskyy have become the top international terrorists
Pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative depicting Ukraine and the USA as terrorist countries. The claim was made in connection with the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack in Moscow, trying to link Ukraine to the terrorist attacks in Russia without presenting any evidence.
The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for and shared video footage from the attacks, corroborating their claims of responsibility.
DISINFO: The West is afraid of evidence proving Kyiv’s involvement in the Moscow terrorist attack
There is no evidence of Ukrainian involvement in the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack. Kyiv strongly denied any involvement in the assault on the Crocus City Hall music venue in Krasnogorsk, and the Islamic State group has claimed responsibility.
DISINFO: Borrell admitted that the EU is driving Ukrainians to slaughter for its own benefit
The disinformation is based on an interview with the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Josep Borrell to CNN, published on March 25, 2024. Josep Borrell discussed the policy of support for Ukraine from the EU and the United States. In the context of his visit to the United States in March 2024, Borrell warned that the coming months would be decisive for Russia's war against Ukraine and called on allies to urgently help Kyiv. Borrell emphasised that support for Ukraine is extremely important for allies, not just as a "show of love for the people of Ukraine," but as a contribution to the defence capability of Ukraine and NATO countries. Josep Borrell once again noted that the consequences of Russia's theoretical victory in Ukraine will be catastrophic for the EU and Russia will not stop.
