Disproof

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation about swine fever. This messaging has been spread a few weeks ago by multiple versions of Sputnik, Ria Novosti, TV Zvezda, Regnum, and other pro-Kremlin sources. The Deutsche Welle article does not link the swine fever with the intention of some Dutch and Danish farmers to come to Romania. It states that, according to an environmental activist, they might move their farms to Romania and Baltic states, due to some possible restrictions of using pesticides and claims regarding animal rights in their own countries.

No evidence given. Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation on White Helmets and chemical attacks in Syria. euvsdisinfo.eu/disinformation-cases/?text=&disinfo_issue=&disinfo_keywords%5B%5D=77488&date= euvsdisinfo.eu/disinformation-cases/?text=syria&disinfo_issue=&disinfo_keywords%5B%5D=77353&date= Vanessa Beeley is a well-known supporter of the Assad regime. Her claims against the White Helmets were repeatedly debunked. Background: On 7 April 2018, a high number of civilians were killed in the besieged Syrian city of Douma, with evidence pointing towards another chemical attack by the regime, according to the EU. According to the World Health Organisation, during the shelling of Douma on Saturday, an estimated 500 patients presented to health facilities exhibiting signs and symptoms consistent with exposure to toxic chemicals. http://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/statements/2018/chemical-attacks-syria/en/ See also Bellingcat's open source survey on the suspected chemical attack: https://www.bellingcat.com/news/mena/2018/04/11/open-source-survey-alleged-chemical-attacks-douma-7th-april-2018/ In September 2017, the UN Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic summarized 33 separate incidents where it had found use of chemical weapons. Since then there have been several additional suspected chemical attacks. Between March 2013 and March 2017, the Commission documented 25 incidents of chemical weapons use in the Syrian Arab Republic, of which 20 were proven to have been perpetrated by government forces and used primarily against civilians. http://www.ohchr.org/EN/HRBodies/HRC/IICISyria/Pages/IndependentInternationalCommission.aspx

CIA spread African swine fever in Cuba in 1971

CIA has links with the African swine fever, it’s a planned disaster. According to Newsday, CIA placed a container with African swine fever virus (which causes now big problems in Romania) and, through a Panama vessel, got to Cuba in 1971. It remains a mystery how this virus spread so fast in Romania.
