The United States is preparing a scenario to overthrow the legitimate government of Moldova

The United States is preparing a scenario to overthrow the legitimate government of Moldova. They attempt a coup d’état, like they did before with the partial occupation of Syrian territory and like they are currently attempting in Venezuela.

Russian interference in US elections: the inquiry finds no direct evidence

After two years of investigation, Democrats and Republicans of the US Senate’s Intelligence Committee agreed that they have not discovered any direct evidence of Russian conspiracy in Donald Trump’s campaign. Two years of investigation, 200 interviews of witnesses, investigators from the US Senate Intelligence Committee, working to rule on possible Russian interference in the US presidential campaign, have failed, CBS news reported.

Disproof

RT forwards claims, not supported by the CBS report. It only mentions the chairman of the Intelligence Committee, Republican Richard Burr's personal estimation, which does not match the views of the co-chairman of the Committee, Democratic senator Marc Warner. In addition, the US Justice Department has charged 12 Russian intelligence officers with hacking Democratic officials in the 2016 US elections. Previously, 13 Russian citizens as well as the Internet Research Agency, Concord Management and Concord Catering had been charged with interfering with the US political system.

The famine of 1932-33 was not ethnically directed against Ukrainians

The famine of 1932-33 was not ethnically directed against the Ukrainians. The term “Holodomor” itself has no right to exist.

Disproof

This is a recurring Kremlin narrative about the Holodomor in Ukraine. The Great Famine (Holodomor) of 1932–33 is a man-made demographic catastrophe unprecedented in peacetime. Of the estimated six to eight million people who died in the Soviet Union, about four to five million were Ukrainians. The exact number of victims is hard to establish as a lot of evidence was destroyed. According to Encyclopaedia Britannica," the famine was a direct assault on the Ukrainian peasantry, which had stubbornly continued to resist collectivisation; indirectly, it was an attack on the Ukrainian village, which traditionally had been a key element of Ukrainian national culture. Its deliberate nature is underscored by the fact that no physical basis for famine existed in Ukraine. The Ukrainian grain harvest of 1932 had resulted in below-average yields (in part because of the chaos wreaked by the collectivisation campaign), but it was more than sufficient to sustain the population. Nevertheless, Soviet authorities set requisition quotas for Ukraine at an impossibly high level. Brigades of special agents were dispatched to Ukraine to assist in procurement, and homes were routinely searched and foodstuffs confiscated." See the similar disinfo cases here and here.
