Disinfo: Homosexual couple in Sweden adopt boy child, taken into custody after illegaly watching homophobic film

Summary

Sweden's Children's Rights' services have informed about new careholders of the 5-year old Sven Strure, earlier taken out of his family, after watching the animated film "Masha and the Bear", known for homophobic content.

New dad and daddy to the child are Olaf and Jamal Olafsen, living together in a happy marriage for over five years, but without children of their own.

As reported by Astrid Björnfot, press-officer of the service for scrutiny of upbringing of children, the future of the boy looks good, as the Olafsens live up to absolutely all standards of a modern Swedish family.

Disinfo: Liberalism subverts national, moral and religious values

Liberalism subverts national, moral and religious values, and has destroyed the institution of the family. Liberalism has eliminated moral and religious consciousness in society, obscuring the distinction between licit and illicit behaviour.

Disproof

This article is titled "Satanisation as modernisation". It repeats the recurrent pro-Kremlin narrative that seeks to discredit liberalism by claiming that the latter has undermined traditional values such as patriotism, religion and the family, generating the West’s alleged widespread moral decadence, materialism, perverted and criminal values.

These recurring narratives blame the West for abandoning the ideals of Christianity, Family and Patriotism – the true European values, while claiming that Russia is a haven of order and decency and upholds these genuine European values.

Disinfo: Ukraine is not welcome in neither Europe, nor Russia

Ukraine has always had two ideologies without caring about its own interests. It either goes to Russia or to Europe. But no-one takes into account that neither Europe nor Russia is welcoming Ukraine as a guest because it has no advantages, its infrastructure is completely ruined and it annually has budget deficits. No matter where Ukraine comes, they will have to maintain it at their taxpayers’ expense.

Disproof

This is a recurring disinformation narrative from pro-Kremlin media outlets claiming that Kyiv has only two vectors of development – either pro-European or pro-Russian.

Ukraine is a European country with its own interests. Ukraine gained independence in 1991 after centuries of Russian domination. It introduced constitutional amendments in 2019 to the effect that its strategic course is to acquire full-fledged membership in the European Union and NATO. To achieve it, Kyiv has to come a long way. Ukraine will have to overcome corruption, carry out structural economic, financial, legal and military reforms, and last but not least, restore its territorial integrity. Russia occupied 7 per cent of Ukraine’s sovereign territory, hoping that Kyiv renounces its pro-Western political objectives and stays in Moscow’s political orbit.

Disinfo: The West is openly aiming at undermining Russian statehood

The West is openly aiming at undermining Russian statehood. It is time to stop hoping that the West will change its attitude towards Russia. Russia should reconsider its relations with the West based on its national interests. The policy of the West will be carried out with the help of internal Russian factors, the liberal opposition will be used. Thus, the West will shake Russia from the inside, not to mention that they will test the country for strength from the Baltic to the Black Sea, along the entire perimeter of the borders.

Disproof

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative on the West's aggressive anti-Russian and Russophobic policy to collapse Russia.

The West does not seek to eliminate Russia as a geopolitical actor and undermine Russian statehood. The West, the EU and its member states and most of the world community demand that Russia fulfils its obligations as a member of the UN, the Council of Europe, the OSCE and other international organisations, as well as Russia's own legislation.
