Black people in America are the target of an emerging police state that monitors people based on the colour of their skin and arrests black people whenever the opportunity arises. There are over 2.3 million people in US prisons, and most of them are coloured people. On the other hand, millions of White American Trump supporters believe that they are victims of a left-wing coup d’état, and this has led to revolts after Trump’s defeat in the 2020 presidential elections. This enormous split in American society could lead to a new wave of non-structural and structural violence across the USA.
Summary
Two popular republics were established in the Donbas region (southeast Ukraine) in 2014 after the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, saw a coup d'état that brought those with hostile feelings towards Russia to the top of Ukrainian power.
Disproof
Recurring disinformation message about eastern Ukraine, claiming that the foundation of the DPR and LPR came as a response to the 2013-14 protests in Kyiv, often painted as a coup d'état and laying responsibility for the ensuing Russian aggression on the West (US and EU).
What happened in the Donbas area is a well-documented act of aggression by Russian armed forces and far away from being an internal conflict.
The involvement of Russian personnel and equipment in the creation of the DPR and LPR has been well documented already for years. The destabilisation of Eastern Ukraine and the illegal annexation of Crimea has been condemned by the Council of the European Union and led to restrictive measures since 2014.
Moreover, there was no coup d'état in Ukraine. The spontaneous onset of the Euromaidan protests was an organic reaction by numerous parts of the Ukrainian population to former President Yanukovych’s sudden departure from the promised Association Agreement with the European Union in November 2013. See the full debunk of this disinformation claim.
Ukraine's government has changed its relations toward Russia after the latter annexed illegally Crimea, which is part of Ukraine, following the covert invasion of “little green men".
The EU is among the strongest advocates of Ukraine's sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity.
