DISINFO: The outcome of Ukrainian election will be decided in Washington

SUMMARY

The outcome of Ukrainian presidential election will be decided in Washington. And it is very likely that Washington will come to the conclusion that Tymoshenko is a better option than Poroshenko. And then Poroshenko will announce that he has fulfiled his duty and not run in the election again and Tymoshenko will take his place.

RESPONSE

Conspiracy theory to undermine the legitimacy of democratic election in Ukraine. Similar pro-Kremlin disinformation messages have appeared in the past. See more here and here.
