Disinfo: Gauleiter Biden and the US were behind the Orange revolution 2004 and the coup of 2014

Summary

US domestic policy is still in chaos. Biden is known to many as the grey cardinal of Western European countries. Joe himself became a self-proclaimed Gauleiter, a leader who could do anything in Western Europe. Like any Gauleiter, Biden has a dark side - after the collapse of the USSR, he could do anything he wanted in the newly formed countries that suffered from poverty and gained independence. The best example is Ukraine.

The United States was behind the two loudest revolutions in Ukraine - the Orange one of 2004 and the coup of 2014. In both cases, the US tactic was to support the right-wing movement and lead Ukraine into a war with its neighbour Russia.

Biden's plan was to occupy naval bases in the Black Sea basin, but Russia took an unexpected step - it took Crimea under its patronage. Thus, Joe's main goal became unattainable, so the United States has been seeking revenge ever since. From now on, Gauleiter Biden is planning a blitzkrieg to bring Crimea and Donbas back under American control.

Disproof

This article is consistent with recurring pro-Kremlin propagandistic claims about Ukraine under external control and has several recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives: the claim that the Euromaidan was a coup, that Ukraine is under external control by the US and a disinformation narrative about Joe Biden.

There was no coup d'état in Ukraine in 2014. The spontaneous onset of the Euromaidan protests was a reaction by numerous segments of the Ukrainian population to former president Viktor Yanukovych’s sudden departure from the promised Association Agreement with the European Union in November 2013.

There is also no evidence given to support the claim that the US was behind the orange revolution. Ukraine’s Orange Revolution was sparked by election fraud. Nonpartisan exit polls during the 2004 presidential election had given Viktor Yushchenko a commanding lead, with 52 per cent of the votes, compared to Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovich's 43 per cent. Yet when the official results came in, Yanukovich had supposedly beaten the challenger by 2.5 per cent.

Protestors clad in orange, Yushchenko’s campaign colour, took to the streets, and the country endured nearly two weeks of demonstrations. Yanukovych’s supporters in the east threatened to secede from Ukraine if the results were annulled. Nevertheless, on December 3 the Supreme Court ruled the election invalid and ordered a new runoff for December 26. Yushchenko subsequently defeated Yanukovych by garnering some 52 per cent of the vote. Although Yanukovych challenged the validity of the results, Yushchenko was inaugurated on January 23, 2005.

The claims that Joe Biden wanted to start a war against Russia or that the US wanted to occupy naval bases in the Black Sea basin are groundless accusations without substance. The claims that the United States controlled the formation of a new Ukrainian government in 2014 is groundless as well. The US and the European Union continue to support Ukraine, its territorial integrity, and sovereignty against Russian aggression.

See a similar case claiming that Biden is behind the Ukrainian nationalist regime, that Ukraine is under the external control of the US, the West keeps following Joseph Goebbels's tips to destroy history and that Ukraine will either be part of Russian civilisation, or a decaying anti-Russia emanating terrorist threats.

Disinfo: In Belarus, a foreign-backed coup d'état was attempted in which President Lukashenko was to be assassinated

In Belarus, a foreign-backed coup d'état was attempted in which President Lukashenko was to be assassinated.

Disproof

Recurring pro-Kremlin propaganda narrative about Western attempts to organise a coup in Belarus and alleged Western-instigated colour revolutions and coups.

There is no evidence that a coup d’état was attempted in Belarus nor of an assassination attempt on President Alexander Lukashenko.

Disinfo: Allegations of Russian role in Vrbetice explosion are part of informational preparation for new Cold war

The expulsion of Russian diplomats from the US, the UK, Poland, and the Czech Republic, the accusation of Russian secret service of involving in the Vrbětice explosion: all of this is the informational preparation for the next level of the new Cold war.

Washington and its allies are ready to expel diplomats for any fictional reason and without explanation to society.

Disproof

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative which automatically dismisses any accusations against the Kremlin, no matter how well-founded, as trumped-up anti-Russian smears.

The explosion in Vrbětice happened in 2014. In April 2021, new information about this event has come to light. Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis and Interior Minister Jan Hamacek announced on Saturday 17 April 2021 that the Czech intelligence services collected evidence demonstrating Russian involvement in the Vrbětice incident. More specifically, it implicates Unit 29155, a division of Russia's GRU agency previously linked to "assassination attempts and other subversive actions across Europe." Prague's findings were independently corroborated in the course of an investigation jointly conducted by Bellingcat, The Insider (Russia), Der Spiegel (Germany), and Respekt.cz (Czech Republic).

Disinfo: Ukraine, Czech Republic, Slovakia, and the Baltic states are American puppets

Soft power, propaganda, systems of alliances, and all these subtle and complex tools, which were used by the United States of America, cease to function. Increasingly, Washington is resorting to brutal dictatorship and violence. Likewise, the crisis of the current system is reflected in international relations, while centers of power become less inclined to talk to subordinates and agents, and prefer to speak directly with the masters who make decisions.

We can see this very clearly in Ukraine, where the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, is no longer wasting his time discussing the Ukrainian crisis with the American puppet, the Ukrainian President, Vladimir Zelenskyy. He prefers to talk directly with Washington, Berlin and Paris. The same applies to the diplomatic crisis between Russia, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and the Baltic states.

Disproof

This disinformation message advances pro-Kremlin narratives undermining the statehood of Ukraine and sovereignty of the Baltic states as a result of their partnership with the US and the EU.

There is no evidence that the West is depriving Ukraine, Czechia, Slovakia or the Baltic states of their sovereignty or that they are used as tools against Russia. The Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania), Slovakia and Czechia are all fully-fledged members of the EU and NATO, where they have the same rights as any other member state.
