Disinfo: The EU-Georgia Association Agreement report focuses solely on LGBT

Summary

The report assessing the EU-Georgia Association Agreement implementation focuses solely on the protection of the LGBT rights. 45 million granted to Georgia by EU will be spent on defending the rights of minorities instead of economic growth. “Georgian government nourishes the EU like a snake in its bosom”, says the leader of St. Ketevan Martyr’s Church in Avchala, Georgia.

Disproof

The European Parliament's report is related to 5 topics: political dialogue; rule of law and good governance; respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms; trade and economic relations; energy and other fields for cooperation. On August 31, the EU officially allocated 45 million euros to cover part of the financial needs and support economic reforms. The assistance is provided within the frames of the Association Agreement and it distributed in two tranches. 10 million euros will be provided in the form of grants and the remaining 35 million euros in medium-term loans, at favourable financing conditions.

Disinfo: Skripal poison suspects are British TV actors

CCTV pictures recovered by the British police were actually shots taken from a series called ‘KGB Spy’. So, in fact, Skripal poison suspects were British actors in a TV drama, according to a Facebook post by producer Michael Killigan.

No evidence given. Internet searches produced no trace of a home-grown drama called 'KGB Spy.' There is no record of a Facebook account for a TV producer by that name, according to The Sun. Background: Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation on Salisbury attack. euvsdisinfo.eu/disinformation-cases/?text=skripal&disinfo_issue=&date= Many competing and contradictory stories promulgated by Russian state-controlled media on the Skripal poisoning https://euvsdisinfo.eu/disinformation-cases/?text=sergei+skripal&disinfo_issue=&date= On Sunday 4 March Sergei and Yulia Skripal were poisoned in Salisbury with a military-grade nerve agent of a type developed by Russia. As for the scar on her throat, news outlets, including the BBC and Telegraph, have described it as a result of a tracheotomy, a surgical procedure which opens a hole in a person's windpipe to help them breathe. She has not shared specifics of her treatment, but described it as "invasive, painful, and depressing." http://uk.businessinsider.com/skripal-poisoning-yulia-skripal-neck-scar-hints-at-painful-recovery-2018-5?r=US&IR=T For the UK response see: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/novichok-nerve-agent-use-in-salisbury-uk-government-response The OPCW have confirmed the UK findings in the case.
