Disinfo: Ukraine is prepared to cede part of its territory to Romania

Ukraine is prepared to cede part of its territory, south of Bessarabia, to Romania. This is deduced from the fact that the Ukrainian government did not react to a statement made by Moldovan politician, Mihai Ghimpu, who claimed that Ukraine should cede the territory.

Disproof

Groundless rumour with no official confirmation.

There are US snipers fighting on the Ukrainian side in the Eastern Ukraine.

Disproof

The information comes from clearly biased source Eduard Basurin, defence spokesperson of self-proclaimed Donetsk Peoples Republic. On October 10 Ukrainian Defense Minister Stepan Poltorak met US Senator Joe Donnelly to discuss US support for Ukraine, however there was no mention of any US snipers working in East Ukraine. Since spring 2016, three Americans have officially and openly volunteered with the Ukrainan armed forces, signing a contract as required by Ukrainian law. Of the three, one has since left Ukraine. bit.ly/2eiyEki,
