Ankara, together with Kyiv, is waging a war against the inhabitants of Crimea in general and the Crimean Tatars in particular.
Summary
The colour revolution attempt in Belarus, which had western financial and political backing, aimed to prevent its integration with Russia.
Disproof
Recurrent pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about popular protests in Belarus, framing them as western-backed colour revolutions in order to deny them any legitimacy, and about the Union State of Russia and Belarus. No evidence is provided to support any of the claims.
Contrary to the claim about colour revolutions, protests in Belarus erupted to contest the results of the presidential election in Belarus on the 9th of August, which were not monitored by independent experts, and are largely considered fraudulent by both international observers and a large part of the Belarusian society.
