Disinfo: NATO and Poland plan to attack Belarus, they should be ready for Russia's nuclear punishment

Summary

NATO and Poland have military plans for conquering the western part of Belarus. Amid the presidential elections and recent protests in Belarus, Poles openly voiced their claims for Belarusian territories. Poland is famous for its arrogance, impertinence, and ignorance. It is a Europe’s bald stinky dog and the stinkiest cesspool. In case NATO attacks Belarus, Russians will fight for it as for their own land. Russia should amend its military doctrine with the right to use nuclear arms in case of an emergency. The NATO units, stationed in the Baltic states, Poland, Romania, and Germany should realise that they are doomed for Russian nuclear capital punishment in case of attacking Belarus.

Disproof

This message contains recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about the aggressive West and NATO and imperialist Poland. Poland and other NATO states respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Belarus. Poland fully supports Belarus's territorial integrity, respects the principles of international law, and does not intervene in the domestic affairs of any country.

Following the deployment of additional units of the Belarusian army on the country's border with Poland and Lithuania in late August 2020, the Polish Defence Ministry reiterated in its official position that Poland has no territorial claims on any country.

See earlier disinformation cases alleging that that Russia saved Belarus from Western bombing like in Yugoslavia, that Poland and the Baltic states are the Western world's jackals who can produce a global catastrophe, and that Poland may attack four European countries including Belarus, and that the West is considering a military attack against Russia despite its nuclear capabilities.

Disinfo: The EU must stop suffocating Donbas residents

The EU considers defending human rights one of its main goals worldwide, but it essentially became compliant in suffocating the residents of Donbas. They decided not to recognise the Russian passports issued to locals for humanitarian reasons, as they did with Crimea.

Recurring disinformation about the European Union's role in Ukraine.

The European Union is in fact providing support for the most vulnerable people affected by the ongoing hostilities. In April 2020, Commissioner for Crisis Management Janez Lenarcic announced EUR 13 million to support conflict affected population. In October 2020, the EU allocated a further EUR 10 million to "support the most vulnerable people in eastern Ukraine ahead of the upcoming winter and in response to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic."

Disinfo: Genocide invented by Ukraine is "hype, which has no plot"

Ukraine is stubbornly trying to create “hype” on this topic [Holodomor], not noticing that there is no plot for this.

Natural factors played a huge role. In 1932, the El Niño climatic cycle ended and famine was raging throughout the northern hemisphere due to drought and crop failure.

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

Disproof

This is a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the Holodomor in Ukraine.

In fact, the Holodomor was not caused by a poor harvest. It was caused by the directed actions of the Soviet authorities - the destruction by famine - against the Ukrainian countryside. In 1932, no critical weather conditions were recorded that could lead to grain shortages and the deaths of more than 7 million people. This year, compared to 1931, less grain was actually harvested (12.8 million tons against 17.7 million tons in 1931). The reason for lower yields was the ill-considered policy of grain procurement: in the villages, there was not enough grain to sow the fields, it was increasingly taken out of the USSR, leaving nothing for sowing. But even that number would be enough to avoid famine if the policy of genocide were not directed.

Disinfo: In Ukraine, it will be forbidden to communicate in Russian from January 2021

From January 16, 2021 it will be necessary to use the state language when ordering a cup of coffee, buying medicine. The so-called “language ombudsman” Taras Kremin underscoredthat from January 16, 2021, the service sector should switch exclusively to the Ukrainian language.

Disproof

This is a recurring pro-Kremlin propaganda narrative about the alleged discrimination of Ukraine's Russian-speaking minority and the country's ubiquitous Russophobia.

This is one in a series of news stories with false and manipulative headlines. The Russian language will not be banned in Ukraine. In Ukraine, service workers must start a conversation in Ukrainian from January 16, 2021, but they can change the language of communication at the request of the client. This is a quote taken out of context by the Commissioner for the Protection of the State Language Taras Kremlin. He recalled that "at the request of the client, his/her personal service can be carried out in another language."
