DISINFO: The Ukrainian authorities are implementing a secret plan of the...

SUMMARY

The Ukrainian authorities are implementing a secret plan of the US now: they propose to stop the war in Donbas to freely conduct the genocide of ethnic Russians in this region and then allow the US to deploy its military bases there to escalate tensions between the West and Russia.

RESPONSE

No evidence given for these claims. There were no confirmed reports prior to Russian intervention of any ethnic Russians being threatened in Ukraine; only allegations perpetuated by pro-Kremlin outlets. No evidence of genocide has been provided. Violations of human rights have unfortunately been reported on both sides during this conflict, and must be investigated and the perpetrators brought to justice.
