Disinfo: "Masha and the Bear" cartoon is illegal in Sweden

Summary

A Stockholm court has approved the decision to take 5-year old Sven Strure from his family, as they forced him to watch the Russian animated film "Masha and the Bear".

/---/

The Children's Rights' Lawyers could establish, after a house search in the family's home, that Sven's parents bought 3 DVDs with the forbidden in Sweden animated film "Masha and the Bear", and forced the child to watch an episode daily. As a result, the child developed intolerance against sexual and ethnic minorities, as well as against the policies of the European Union and the leadership of the European Parliament.

Disproof

A satirical article from a well-known humour site is reproduced as news. The outlet describes its source as “unreliable”, but the readers are led to believe that the information is authentic.

Disinfo: Biden has lethal illness which is kept away from the public

US President Joe Biden is terminally ill, most probably with Alzheimer's disease or some brain issues. The truth is kept from the public and the US is run by a secret group.

Disproof

Recurrent and unfounded disinformation narrative spread by pro-Kremlin media outlets.

The case exploits recent news about the US President who, during a flight trip across the country, fell up the stairs when boarding the plane. The White House released a statement shortly afterwards, confirming that Joe Biden was not injured.

Disinfo: Russia-EU relations were destroyed by unilateral decisions of Brussels

Europe broke these relations by simply destroying all the mechanisms that had been created for many years, and Russia was left with few partners - only individual European countries that want to be guided by their national interests. There is no relationship with the European Union as an organisation. The entire infrastructure of these relations was destroyed by the unilateral decisions of Brussels.

Disproof

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative attempting to put the responsibility for the state of EU-Russian relations on Brussels, alleging that the EU is destroying them and ignoring the reasons behind the sanctions.

The EU has imposed restrictive measures, including sectoral sanctions, as a result of the illegal annexation of Crimea and Russia's destabilising actions in eastern Ukraine. Formats such as regular high-level dialogues remain suspended in the absence of the full implementation of the Minsk agreements by Russia. These events have seriously affected bilateral relations. As a result, some of the policy dialogues and mechanisms of cooperation are temporarily frozen, and sanctions directed at promoting a change in Russia's actions in Ukraine have been adopted.
