DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: "Cold" riots throughout Ukraine

SUMMARY

Ukraine is on the verge of a social explosion. The cold war with its own population took hundreds of people to the streets. The country is freezing due to lack of hot water and heat.

RESPONSE

This is a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about Ukrainian disintegration. Distorting and amplifying an issue which happened only in some localities when they were facing problems with the heating system, it did not happen all over Ukraine. Further debunking by Stop Fake.
