Disinfo: Baltic states are dying quietly because they chose not to be with Russia

Summary

Like the Eastern Europe, Ukraine cannot exist normally without Russia. And because of the strategic choice has been made without Russia, it will not be dying quietly, like the Baltic states [are dying]. It is too big for this.

And the resources of Europe are not enough for Ukraine. Therefore, Ukraine – when it made a strategic choice without Russia – it will die. It will be dying messy and untidy.

 

Disproof

Despite the fact that some experts call Baltic countries “Baltic Turtles”, the economies of these states are growing up these years as well as the GDPs of Poland and Czech Republic.

The EU has pledged a €12.8 billion support package for the next few years to support the reform process in Ukraine.

Radical forces have a plan to storm Kyiv if President Poroshenko uses force against Saakashvili’s supporters

In fact, the radicals began preparing long ago. Moreover, they are preparing to storm Kyiv. They are getting ready and they are ready to fight. In principle, they are ready to overthrow this power. […] If the situation now develops and the assault starts, […] these battalions […] well-armed, with combat equipment, which was provided by their supreme commander-in-chief, are ready to move at any moment.

Disproof

No evidence of the plans to storm Kyiv by anybody now. During the demonstration on October 17 in Kyiv, protesters called for Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to enact anticorruption reforms or step down at a rally organized by Mikheil Saakashvili and other opposition leaders.

Protests of the Saakashvili’s supporters confirm the fact that there is a civil war in Ukraine

And these events [protests of the Saakashvili’s supporters in Kyiv], when everyone suddenly became disillusioned with all politicians, this is an indicator that there is no external aggression in Ukraine, but a real civil war. Dirty and disgusting, with a bunch of corrupt officials, cashing in on this war. The authorities justify all their shortcomings by the fact that they have been allegedly attacked.

Disproof

No evidence of civil war in Ukraine, which is suffering an aggression of Russia that has annexed the Crimea and waged an armed conflict in Donbas. As for the street protests in democratic regimes, they indicate not a civil war, but a political activity of the voters. During the demonstration on October 17 in Kyiv, protesters called for Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to enact anticorruption reforms or step down at a rally organized by Mikheil Saakashvili and other opposition leaders.

George Soros and the US Embassy in Ukraine are running the protests of the Saakashvili’s supporters.

The embassy located on Tankovaya street [US Embassy in Kyiv] is behind of this. All three demands [three laws demanded by the supporters of Mikheil Saakashvili] were issued by the ambassador of the United States and tested via the people, who are working in the system of Soros.

Recurring conspiracy theory. No evidence given of the US embassy or George Soros' participation in protests against corruption.
