Disinfo: Legitimacy of Ukrainian government almost at zero

The legitimacy of the Ukrainian parliament is today at 1.5-2%. They do not have the legitimacy that gives them the right to speak on behalf of the people on issues like on accession to NATO and the EU.

Disproof

An unfounded claim on the approval rate of the Ukrainian political institutions. According to a poll, conducted by Razumkov Center in June 2018, the support of the Parliament is 10,3%, the Government – 13,7%, the President – 13,8%. In a poll, conducted by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology in December 2018, 8% of respondents mentioned that they support the Parliament of Ukraine and 11% support the Government. The highest support is for the President – 16%. In December 2017, the support of these institutions was lower. During the last presidential elections, Petro Poroshenko won in the first round with 54,7% of the votes. The two biggest parties in the Parliament at the last parliamentary elections, in 2014, were supported by 22,14% (Narodnyi Front) and 21,82% (Blok Petra Poroshenka) respectively.

Disinfo: The United States use terrorism in their own interests

The United States uses terrorism in its own interests, said Russian Senator Frants Klintsevich. This “deeply sophisticated” mechanism is, according to him, indispensable for the American special services. Thanks to a complicated intelligence structure, it is not possible to catch the United States out. This mechanism is profoundly sophisticated and it works.

Disproof

No evidence given. The claim is similar to a conspiracy theory Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation that the US is supporting terrorist and ISIS in Syria.

Disinfo: Ukrainian Health Minister has secret mission to reduce the number of Ukrainians

One of the tasks of Uliana Suprun is to reduce Ukrainian healthcare to the level of the poorest third world countries. However, this is not her main task. This involves the “optimisation” of the number of residents of Ukraine, a consistent reduction of the population. This takes time without gas chambers. She is strongly supported by the West.

Disproof

Unfounded claims, presented without any evidence. An example of a conspiracy theory; recurring pro-Kremlin narrative about Ukraine and medical reform in Ukraine. The Ukrainian reform of healthcare systems has several aims. Firstly, it aims to introduce a new mechanism of financing the healthcare sector: the state will finance the needs of a patient – not the hospitals. Secondly, the position of a “family doctor” was introduced. Thirdly, it clearly defines limits on what the state will pay for. Fourthly, doctors will have to adhere to international medical protocols. Fifthly, the Ministry of Health expects that the salaries of doctors will increase.
