There is no evidence backing this allegation. 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. Israel is also a declared target of jihadist organisations, and has worked to thwart ISIS terror attacks worldwide and inside Israel itself.
There is no evidence backing the claim. The US and Western countries have been leading the global coalition to defeat ISIS. However, through this false claim, this disinformation message aims to discredit US support to Ukrainian resistance, including financial and weapons supplies, against Russia's aggression.
There is no evidence to back the claim that Ukraine is preparing a chemical provocation or a use of the weapons of mass destruction.
In March 2024, the 105th session of the Executive Council of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) was held. One of the topics of the meeting was the use of chemical weapons in the war against Ukraine. Members of the OPCW Council rejected Russian accusations against Ukraine, calling them a disinformation campaign aimed at creating confusion in the Council and discrediting the OPCW. Russia was also accused of spreading unsubstantiated accusations regarding Ukraine's alleged "plans" to use chemical weapons on its own territory.
The primary purpose of the campaign was to end violence and repression and force Slobodan Milosevic, the President of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY), to withdraw his military, police and para-military forces from Kosovo (see NATO's statement from 1999).

Since October 10, 2022, Russia has launched dozens of targeted missile strikes on the Ukrainian energy system. According to the UN, 42 out of 94 (45%) crucial high-voltage transformers have suffered damage or destruction due to Russian missile attacks for the autumn-winter period 2022-2023. The UN continues that, as a result of Russian attacks, the damage to power, gas, heating infrastructure, and coal mining exceeds US$10 billion and is increasing.
Russia and Putin are responsible for the war in Ukraine. It was Putin's personal decision to invade Ukraine and start the largest military conflict in Europe since WWII. Russia's aggression against Ukraine was unprovoked and unjustified. Contrary to Russian claims, Ukraine had not planned to attack Russia, and did not commit genocide in the non-government-controlled areas of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts. Ukraine was striving to implement the Minsk Agreements, but the Moscow-backed military formations there were constantly disrupting their implementation.
The Ukrainian government is not killing its own citizens. In fact, its population is defending itself against Russia's armed aggression in a remarkable display of continued courage and determination. Ukraine's sovereignty has been violated only as a result of continuous acts of aggression by the Russian armed forces since 2014, culminating with a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine starting on 24 February 2022.
