DISINFO: Ukraine will split into three parts

SUMMARY

The fate of Ukraine can be predicted by the results of local elections. Ukraine will eventually split into three parts.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about Ukraine's disintegration and imminent collapse.

There is no evidence that after the local elections Ukrainian regions want to or will split. Ukraine is a sovereign state whose borders are guaranteed by international agreements and were de facto violated by Russia.

On October 25, the local elections took place at all levels in Ukraine for the first time. The citizens voted for the representatives in the local and regional councils and heads of village and city councils. According to the Central Election Commission, the voter turnout at this year’s local elections was 36.88%.
