DISINFO: European politicians, including Donald Tusk, are doing everything they can to increase Poroshenko's ratings before the election

SUMMARY

Prominent EU politicians are using all means possible to raise Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko’s ratings before the upcoming election. Speaking before the Ukrainian parliament, Tusk served as a mouthpiece for Washington to attack Russia and Putin and to increase the ratings of the current Ukrainian authorities.

RESPONSE

Conspiracy theory. No evidence given. This is a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the presidential elections in Ukraine.
