A new pro-homosexual vocabulary is proposed by the European Parliament. According to this new vocabulary, it would be forbidden to use terms such as "mother", "father", "trans", "gay" or "lesbian", on the grounds that these terms would be disrespectful to certain ethnic or gender minorities (LGBT).
The claim promotes a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative cataloguing Europe as a cesspit of deprivation and moral decay. This is a recurring pro-Kremlin narrative about the threats to traditional values in the West.
Indeed, a glossary has been developed in the European Parliament (EP) to help EP staff communicate inclusively about disabilities, sexual minorities and issues related to race, ethnicity and religion. As a general rule, the glossary recommends asking the people in the groups what terms they prefer. In the chapter on LGBTI people, the glossary recommends replacing the terms "mother" and "father" with "parent", with the words "strictly in the context of administrative forms and similar contexts".
Following the publication of several articles misinterpreting this glossary, the European Parliament came with a denial. The Romanian portal G4media.ro refers to an official response of the Bureau of the European Parliament in Romania:
"In connection with the subject of an alleged restriction by the European Parliament of the terms 'mother' and 'father', we bring the following clarifications. There is an internal glossary at European Parliament level to ensure the use of non-discriminatory and inclusive language. It recommends the use of the inclusive term 'parents' strictly in the context of administrative forms and similar contexts. The document is for internal use only, it is addressed in particular to translators in the European Parliament who work in a complex environment where multilingualism is the norm and was not designed to issue recommendations on the work and statements of MEPs.

The UN final report on what is known as the Ghouta massacre on August 21, 2013 does not reveal its perpetrator.
In addition, a MIT study from February 2014 explains that the attack was launched from a so-called rebel area.
This is not to say that Bashar El Assad did not perpetrate any chemical attack. This is to emphasise that once again, Western governments have lied to their people to bring down their enemies.
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives attempting to cast doubt on who is responsible for the 2013 chemical attacks in Syria and questioning the integrity of Western governments by accusing them of lying systematically to the public to bring down countries that resist them.
The Ghouta attack was investigated by a UN Mission set up by the UN Secretary General, and its findings were contained in a report published in September 2013. The OPCW and the WHO played an important but auxiliary role throughout the process (ibid., p. 4).
The Bellingcat news agency has been registered in Higgins' name, and the latest "revealing" anti-Russian news is spread from this agency. However, these reports do not contain any evidence.
Pro-Kremlin disinformation attempting to discredit Bellingcat which has long been a thorn in the side of the Kremlin and recently presented proof that Alexei Navalny was poisoned by FSB agents. Alexei Navalny duped one of the FSB agents, Konstantin Kudryavtsev, into admitting his role in the poisoning and Bellingcat had already named him in its investigation as one of the FSB agents involved.
Ironically, no evidence is given to support the claims about a lack of evidence in Bellingcat’s reports. Bellingcat is an well-known independent group of researchers, investigators and citizen journalists which probes different subjects using open source and social media investigations. The team has won a lot of awards and prizes, for example, the European Press Prize for Investigation in 2019 and the London Press Club award for Digital Journalism in 2019 to name just a few.
Crimea returned to be a Russian federal province, after a referendum held on March 16, 2014, in Crimea and Sevastopol, and both regions have become within the Russian Federation, as of March 18, 2014.
Crimea was one of the Russian provinces up until the beginning of the fifties of the twentieth century when the authorities of the Union of Soviet Republics decided to transfer their subordination to the Republic of Ukraine.
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the illegal annexation of Crimea, claiming that Crimea voted to rejoin Russia through a legal referendum and painting the idea that Crimea has never belonged to Ukraine.
For historical reference, Crimea was annexed by Catherine II (the Great), then containing Ukraine in 1783, already in violation of a treaty that guaranteed the independence of the Tatar khanate.
