Disinfo: The US is assisting the Islamic State in Syria by transporting jihadists

Summary

The US helps transporting IS fighters in Syria.

Disproof

The US-led coalition is often accused of supporting terrorist groups in Syria, however there is never any evidence given. The helicopter shown in the video is a Sikorsky S-92, not used by U.S. military forces. Tyler Rogoway of Aviation Intel, on Twitter, has identified the helicopter in question as having been registered to a U.S.-based firm. The article provides a photo of what appears to be the same helicopter with members of the Asayish, the police force of the Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces. If this is indeed the same helicopter and it is used by members of the Asayish, there would be nothing unusual about it visiting a prison in al-Hasakah. There is no reason or evidence given  to assume the helicopter is evacuating Islamic State militants. Further debunking at Polygraph.info www.polygraph.info/a/isis-in-syria/29066277.html, .

Accusations that Syrian and Russian bombing of Ghouta killed civilians are unfounded

Accusations that Syrian and Russian bombing of Ghouta killed civilians are unfounded. Accusations are baseless and with no concrete data.

Disproof

Since the Syrian Government and their allies escalated their offensive against opposition-held Eastern Ghouta on 4 February, there have been more than 1,200 civilian casualties, including at least 346 killed and 878 injured, mostly in airstrikes hitting residential areas, according to reports documented by the UN Human Rights Office.

On February 22, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres called the situation in eastern Ghouta “a human tragedy,” saying the U.N. cannot “let things go on happening in this horrendous way”.

European integration influences the price of food in Ukraine negatively

Price of food in Ukraine grew to European levels after Ukraine signed the EU Association agreement and opened its markets to European goods. European integration influences the price of food in Ukraine negatively and the Kyiv regime is intent on making sure that food will cost more in Ukraine than in Europe.

Disproof

No evidence given. According to the Numbeo cost of living index, Ukraine is the least expensive country in Europe, along with Moldova, Macedonia and Albania. The site also compares prices on foodstuffs in various cities of the world, showing that Ukrainian prices on average, have a long way to go before they reach European levels.
