Summary

The US is provoking a civil war in Ukraine in order to force this country to break off railway communication with Russia and thereby prevent Beijing from reviving the ‘Great Silk Road‘ from China to Europe through Russia.

Disproof

Conspiracy theory, no evidence given. The war in Ukraine is a war between Russian-backed separatists and the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The West is turning Ukraine into a nuclear waste burial

The West is building nuclear waste burial in Chernobyl. Now the nuclear waste from the whole world will come to Ukraine and will poison its population since the European countries don’t want to receive this dangerous waste.

Disproof

Ukraine is building a nuclear waste burial in order to stop sending its nuclear waste for conservation in Russia where such a waste burial exists for a long time www.segodnya.ua/economics/enews/ukraina-zaplatila-rossii-2-mlrd-dollarov-za-hranenie-yadernyh-othodov-1071083.html, . Some of the European countries are busy with building similar burials as well www.reuters.com/article/us-nuclear-waste/europe-makes-big-bets-on-nuclear-waste-burial-idUSBRE85C0YM20120613, .

RT faces repression in the US and it will lose its status as a media

[The US requirement to register RT as a foreign agent] is a repression and violation of freedom of speech. The channel will lose its status as a media.

Nov 12, 2017
Disproof

The registration of Russia Today (RT) as a foreign agent is unlikely to either hamper its activities or lead to its closure as it will be able to continue to operate as before, even if now with some additional reporting obligations. Requiring a foreign media outlet to register as an agent of a foreign nation does not give the U.S. government the right to censor its output or control its working environment. FARA simply requires transparency and public disclosure on the part of those registered. Further debunking at the Insider.

Finnish officials have taken a child into custody because her mother slapped her with a T-shirt

Finnish officials have taken a child into custody because her mother slapped her with a T-shirt, says Finnish human rights activist Johan Bäckman.

Disproof

Recurring disinformation. The statement comes from well-known Pro-Kremlin propagandist Johan Bäckman. In Finland, a custody can be done if serious shortcomings are detected in the child’s care or other circumstances that may endanger the child’s health or development. The risk must be serious. Taking into custody is only possible if open care support measures are not suitable, feasible or sufficient to guarantee that the child’s interests are protected. Further debunking by the Insider and Echo Moskvy. The child is a Finnish citizen and the mother has a Russian citizenship.
