Disinfo: US has a dream to organise a regional European war

Summary

[context: ‘Clear Sky 2018’ military exercises] The US has a dream: to organize a regional war, an European war. It generates provocations both in Ukraine and Russia. The Ukrainian issue cannot be resolved in Ukraine. The war is not with them – it’s an information, economical and psychological war against the Americans and more precisely, against the Anglo-Saxon political nation.

Disproof

No evidence given. Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about alleged West's provocations and American interference in Ukraine's internal affairs. In fact, it was Russia that provoked a war in East of Ukraine and annexed Crimea, creating instability in the region. According to Ukraine's Ministry of Defence, the “Clear Sky — 2018” multinational exercises, in which Ukrainian military and military of the NATO member-states take part, is "intended to increase the level of interoperability of the Air Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the Air Forces of the US and NATO, work out effective joint management of operations in the air, work out the sharing of intelligence and surveillance capabilities, as well as cyberdefense focused on the needs of the air forces".

Disinfo: US project to revive fascism in the EU

US asked the EU authorities to “turn a blind eye” to the migrants’ crimes, which turned the streets of Europe into Sodom and Gomorrah. The migration crisis was part of a George Soros’ plan, who wants to deprive countries of their sovereignty, legalize same-sex marriages and change the demographic composition of the EU.

Disinfo: Ukraine is a part of "Russian World"

When we say ‘schism’, we all speak not of the Church schism per se, but of the schism in the Ukrainian society, the schism in the Russian world, which Ukraine is a part of, if you will.

Disproof

Ukraine is recognised in international law as a sovereign nation state, with its own flag, nationality, language etc. "Russian World" is a narrative created by the Kremlin for its own political purpose. Ukraine is currently defending itself from Russian aggression on its territory, see e.g. http://euvsdisinfo.eu/report/russian-spring-civil-war-was-unleashed-in-east-of-ukraine-by-little-nazis-in-kyiv-after-a-coup/

Disinfo: MI5 linked to the murders of Boris Berezovsky, Badri Patarkatsishvili and former KGB agents

The UK extends the rights for its Special Forces to kill and torture throughout the world. UK’s Security Service MI5 is linked to high-profile murders of former KGB agents, attempted murders, as well as deaths of some persons associated with Russia, including Boris Berezovsky and Badri Patarkatsishvili. It is beyond any doubt that Berezovsky was cooperating with British Special Forces. He was recruited by an agent named Pablo Miller – the same Pablo Miller, who also recruited Alexander Litvinenko – later he was killed in London – as well as recently poisoned Sergei Skripal. “So, the question arises – why do the agents of British special forces become the victims of criminals exactly when it is so favourable for their employers?”.

Disproof

No evidence given. Recurring pro-Kremlin conspiracy narrative about UK secret services. Boris Berezovsky, a fiery critic of Russia’s President Vladimir Putin who fled to the UK in 2000, was found dead at the age of 67. Some investigative journalists have suggested that the death of Boris Berezovsky was ordered by the Kremlin. Badri Patarkatsishvili was Boris Berezovsky’s close associate and his business partner. He has been forced to flee Russia in 2001 under threat of prosecution for fraud and was found dead at his home in Great Britain in February 2008. According to the British investigation, he died of heart failure. Recently, the Georgian prosecutor’s office released an audio tape recorded in 2007, announcing that it has charged three former Georgian officials with plotting Patarkatsishvili assassination. The Georgian prosecutor’s office emphasized that plotting the assassination and the death of Patarkatsishvili are two independent cases. Further debunking by Mythdetector.
