Disinfo: Migrants are being Islamized in Europe

Europe is being destroyed by migrants and bureaucrats. Migrants which are coming to Europe are not religious, but they become Islamists there. If you’re not going to a mosque in Germany, then you are not Syrian and you’ll be deported. The system is supposed to keep only unscrupulous refugees in the country.

Disproof

No evidence given. Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about migrants and Islamization.

Disinfo: Americans are controlling German media

The media in Germany is largely dependent on their owners in the United States. Today, none of the chief editors of leading media organizations can be appointed to the position unless they have completed a half-year internship in the American media outlets.

Disproof

No evidence given. German law does not limit or prohibit foreign ownership of the media. However, foreign ownership is a minor factor in the German media market. Recurring pro - Kremlin disinformation about US presence in Europe. Further debunking by Polygraph.

Disinfo: Ukrainians will be deprived of syringes and bandages
