Disinfo: CIA and MI6 changed power in Armenia in order to oust Russia from the region

Summary

The British and US special services brought Nikol Pashinyan to power not to strengthen civil society and democracy in Armenia, which was always cynically stated. And the goal of the strategists of the colour revolutions from the shores of the foggy Albion's and Potomac river is unchanged: to drive out the allied, brotherly Russia from Armenia, to close the 102nd Russian military base in Gyumri, withdraw the 4 frontier detachments of the Russian FSB Border Department in Armenia, close the Russian Erebuni Air Base in Armenia. According to the plans of MI-6 and the CIA, only the achievement of these tasks will make the entry of NATO (in the form of a capricious Turkish sultan) into the South Caucasus region real, with the further advancement of neo-Ottoman Turkey to the North Caucasus of the Russian Federation.

All the actions of the foreign strategists of the colour revolutions show that the Anglo-Saxons still adhere to their treacherous policy.

Disproof

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives painting all manifestations of popular discontent in the region as colour revolutions.

This narrative portrays any spontaneous disorders and civil uprisings in other states, especially the former Soviet republics, as West-funded "coups" directed against Russia. The "Anglo-Saxons" are a frequently evoked, mythical adversary in pro-Kremlin media. Read more here.

There was no coup d'état in 2018 in Armenia, but peaceful protests of hundreds of thousand people in response to Serzh Sargsyan's third consecutive term, and the country's prime minister and former president for a decade. Sargsyan resigned in response to overwhelming opposition pressure, admitting that he was "wrong". “The street movement is against my tenure. I am fulfilling your demand,” his statement said.

The disinformation narrative has been applied, among others, to report about protests in Georgia, Ukraine, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Belarus., with the aim to portray the West or Western special services as an aggressive actors constantly preparing new coups.

Disinfo: An Ukrainian drone kills a 5 years old child near Donetsk

On Saturday 3 April 3, a 5 years old child perished in the western suburbs of Donetsk in a drone attack with an explosive device by the Ukrainian army.

The Ukrainian armed forces used an unmanned aerial device equipped with an improvised explosive device, which was dropped on the village of Aleksandrovka. As a result, a child born in 2016 died and a resident born in 1954 was injured.

At that time, two civilians were in their garden. As a result of the criminal actions of Ukrainian activists, a child born in 2016 was killed, while a local woman born in 1954 was injured and taken to hospital where she received necessary medical treatment.”

This tragic incident strongly reacted to the President of the Russian Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin, who denounced the guilty silence of the West. “The European media don't talk about it. There are no statements from the European Parliament or the US State Department. The foreign ministers of European states do not talk about it. No decision has been taken on the expulsion of diplomats. And we do not stigmatise a president of the country who sent a military drone to war against his own people.

There are no big initiatives on behalf of the dead child to impose sanctions on Kiev, there is no reaction at all. The West in general simply ignores the crimes in Kiev. [...] On the geopolitical chessboard, Brussels and Washington are trying to play a bloody gambit, hardly realising that the game cannot be won "

OSCE agents report the case of a five-year-old child killed on April 2 outside his grandmother's house by an explosive device. According to the authorities of the DPR this tragedy results from the shelling by the Ukrainian army of a village close to the line of contact.

Disproof

The claim is doubtful and unverified. The case has been covered by Euvsdisinfo, Stop Fake, The Insider, Censor.net. The involvement of Ukrainian drone is a striking story but very unlikely, the probable hypothesis is that the child died from a mine stored by his family members since the most active period of the war 2014-2015.

It attracted emotional reaction at highest political level since the death of a 5 year old child is striking and triggered narratives about the cruelty of Ukrainians and the heartless western world that doesn't react.

Disinfo: The EMA delayed the reception of Sputnik V's application for 6 weeks for political reasons

Russia sent the application for registration of its Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) on 21 January 2021, but the latter only confirmed having received the dossier in early March.

This 6 weeks delay, between 21 January and 4 March 2021, shows what the EU's priorities for vaccination are.

Disproof

Pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about vaccines, targeting the European Medicines Agency.

On 10 February 2021 the EMA denied having received any application for the Sputnik V vaccine. EMA informed:

Disinfo: The US is building biolaboratories on Russian borders

Russia must pay attention to the information about the existence of dangerous biological laboratories operating near our borders, because the West has extensive experience in the genocide of the peoples of America and Australia, including the extermination of humans with the help of viruses and bacteria.

Some of the former Soviet states - Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan - have built biological laboratories for the Americans on their soil, and they are unlikely to give up cooperation with them.

Apr 12, 2021
Disproof

This is a recurring disinformation alleging that the United States develops biological weapons and has secret biological laboratories around the world. Consistent with the Pro-Kremlin disinformation campaign against biological laboratories in Armenia, Georgia, Ukraine and other countries.

The disinformation about US biolabs in countries bordering Russia aiming to encircle Moscow and spread infectious diseases is a part of a years-long disinformation campaign led by the Kremlin. In fact, biological laboratories are involved in preventing the risks of complex diseases and, together with other similar projects, counteracting bioterrorism.
