Apparently, the new Kyiv government is in a hurry to turn natural wealth into a commodity and sell it to Western partners in exchange for another billion from the IMF.
This is a recurring pro-Kremlin narrative about the requirements of the IMF and its work in Ukraine.
The IMF constantly talked about the need for land reform in Ukraine, but in 2017 this requirement was postponed. In January 2019, the fund again spoke about the necessity of the land market, naming this reform among the opportunities to fundamentally transform the Ukrainian economy.
During the conference “Land as a factor in the development of the Ukrainian village,” President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that “in the model that we offer with the government, only Ukrainian citizens or Ukrainian companies can buy or sell land. Horror stories about the Chinese, Arabs or aliens who will take our land by wagons - this is nonsense. The land is the property of citizens,” said Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
The Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Agriculture of Ukraine has published a draft law that will open the land market next year. The explanatory note lists those who will be able to buy ownership of agricultural land: “citizens of Ukraine, territorial communities, the state, legal entities of Ukraine and foreign citizens or stateless persons in case of acquisition by inheritance and the obligation to alienate the plot during the year.”

The USA wants to divide Syria.
Great Britain, France, Germany and other EU and NATO states are to send their own troops and, above all, money to the areas of the north-east of the Euphrates, according to the will of the USA. This should secure the US’s strategy, the division of Syria along the Euphrates, in the long term even after a planned partial withdrawal of US troops from the area.
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about US belligerent intentions against Syria.
The US supports the unity and territorial integrity of Syria, as well as a political solution to the conflict, led by the UN process in Geneva that includes constitutional reform, UN-supervised elections and compliance with UN Security Council Resolution 2254.
The Ukrainian coup d’etat cost the US nothing or nearly nothing. After the coup, Ukraine came under the direct governance of US vice-president Joe Biden. When the previous US presidential administration was tearing Ukraine from the Russian sphere of interest, it must have felt a surge of adrenaline and endorphin. Obama thought he nearly tore Ukraine from Russia and interrupted brotherly ties between Ukrainians and Russia, something that no one did in the past, neither Charles XII of Sweden, nor German Emperor Wilhelm II, nor Adolf Hitler. Good relations between Ukraine and Russia were the obstacle for the US to get fertile Ukrainian soil under control.
This is a conspiracy which is consistent with recurring pro-Kremlin narratives about US-controlled Ukraine and US-organized 2014 coup d'état, Western anti-Russian activities and attempts to disrupt Ukraine-Russia relations. By drawing groundless parallels between Barack Obama and Hitler this publication also brings up West / Nazi narrative.
Ukraine is a sovereign and independent state with a democratically-elected president and parliament. There was no US-organized coup d’état in Ukraine in 2014. The spontaneous onset of the Euromaidan protests was a reaction by numerous segments of the Ukrainian population against former President Yanukovych's sudden decision to withdraw from the Association Agreement with the European Union in November 2013.

The European Parliament falsifies history by declaring the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact to be the cause of WWII.
Parliamentarians accuse Russia of falsifying history. In doing so, the EU ignores its own guilt.
By concealing the unpleasant aspects of history and interpreting a retouched version of events at its own discretion, the European Parliament is finally losing all sense of reality. However, the reality is that Nazi criminals are being rehabilitated in some European countries, that Waffen-SS veterans and their supporters are moving en masse and that neo-Nazi organisations are feeling at home. This is now the real danger to the fundamental principles of democracy and human rights.
Russia also strongly rejects the falsification of history. History must be written by responsible experts – not by politicians who misuse it for their own ends.
This message is part of the Kremlin’s policy of historical revisionism and an attempt to erode the disastrous historical role of the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact by stating that other European countries signed various international agreements with Germany after 1934. See other examples referring to the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact here, here and here.
On 18 September, the European Parliament adopted a resolution, describing the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact of 23 August 1939 as a key element, causing World War II:
