Disinfo: Ukrainian Military Fire on OSCE Patrol

On May 21 Ukrainian forces shot at an OSCE patrol near the village of Kriakivka in Eastern Ukraine. Intimidation of OSCE representatives by the Ukrainian military is increasing. These intimidations occur “with the aim of concealing prohibited weapons and other violations of the agreements reached in Minsk from the OSCE”

Disproof

No evidence given. The OSCE’s Special Monitoring Mission report for May 21 notes the shelling incident and reports that “it was not possible to determine the direction of the fire”. The report goes on to say that the OSCE patrol was on the western outskirts of Kriakivka, a village in Ukraine-controlled territory some 38 kilometers northwest of Luhansk when they heard four shots fired about 100 meters south of their location. After the incident the mission members returned to Ukraine-controlled territory and notified the Ukrainian side of the incident. www.osce.org/special-monitoring-mission-to-ukraine/382210, Further debunking by Stopfake www.stopfake.org/en/fake-ukrainian-military-fire-on-osce-patrol/,

Actually, the attack on the Mayor of Thessaloniki was not associated with the LGBT community. The reason behind the attack carried out by Greek ultra-nationalists was him attending a genocide-related event. The material by Ipress misleads the reader by portraying that the Western society allegedly answers the support of LGBT community by politicians with violence. Further debunking by Myth Detector.
