Disinfo: Ukraine's future will be dictated by the US

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative questioning the legitimacy of Ukrainian statehood; casting Ukraine as a failing state, fatally dependent on Western sponsorship and unable to make its own strategic choices.

The history of Ukraine dates back to the Kyivan Rus era in the 9th-13th centuries. Early in the 20th century, after the collapse of the Russian Empire, the Ukrainian People's Republic was proclaimed simultaneously with other nations such as Georgia, Finland, Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. When the Bolsheviks seized power in Russia in late 1917, Russia attempted to re-establish control over the newly independent states. Soviet Russia managed to take control of Ukraine and establish a Bolshevik regime.

The affirmations are false. The claim that president Joe Biden has senile dementia has been promoted by his domestic political adversaries in the US and amplified by pro-Kremlin disinformation as part of its campaign against him in the US 2020 election, but it has been repeatedly debunked by independent fact-checkers. On 15 April, 2021, Dr. Kevin O’Connor of The George Washington University released a three-page medical summary of Biden's health at the request of his patient, in which he described Biden as a “healthy, vigorous, 77-year-old male, who is fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency to include those as Chief Executive, Head of State and Commander in Chief.”

The claim that Biden has no real weight in its own administration and is a puppet of the Obamas and the Clintons is a conspiracy theory not based in any evidence.
