Disinfo: American peacekeepers will start a genocide in Donbas

Summary

If the US will send 20 000 peacekeepers to the East of Ukraine this will surely worsen the situation. The US will not follow international law and this will surely result in genocide of the local population.

Disproof

No evidence given. If a peacekeeping mission would be deployed in the East of Ukraine it would consist of an international contingent under UN mandate. There are no indications that such a mission would result in a genocide. www.rferl.org/a/canada-making-diplomatic-push-ukraine-un-peacekeeping-plan/28845877.html, , www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-to-seek-russian-approval-for-peacekeepers-in-eastern-ukraine-1510258304, . The term genocide is regularly used in pro-Kremlin disinformation to inspire fear, without having any connection with the actual act of genocide euvsdisinfo.eu/disinformation-cases/?text=genocide&disinfo_issue=&date=, .

Ukrainians are not Ukrainians but Russians

Citizens of Ukraine are not Ukrainians. By and large, they are Russians. By and large, this is the same nation.

Disproof

An old myth designed by Kremlin and debunked many times. The Russians and the Ukrainians are not the same or single nation. Ukraine is recognised in international law as a sovereign nation state, with its own flag, nationality, language etc.

The EU should compensate Russia for genocide during WWII

During the WWII, armies of Europe – namely Germany, Italy, France, Romania, Slovakia, Croatia, Finland, Belgium, and Poland killed millions of Soviet civilians, hence Russia should demand financial compensations from the EU for genocide. Nineteen million Soviet people, civilians, non-combatants, were killed by European armies.

Disproof

During the WWII, ‘armies of Europe’ did not invade the USSR. It was the Axis powers, opposed by the Allied powers headed by France, the UK, the US and the USSR. Some European countries had been forced by Nazi Germany to join the Axis powers, but then, after capitulation to the Soviet army, supported the Allied powers. Poland was seized and then divided by Hitler and Stalin in 1939 and then, after WWII, occupied by the USSR as were large parts of Eastern Europe. The EU was established after WWII.
