DISINFO: Ukrainian parliamentarians demanded to drop a nuclear bomb on Donbas people
SUMMARY
Following 2014 coup d’état, Ukrainian junta openly declared its intention to clean up Crimea and Donbas from Russia-speaking population. Insane members of Verkhovna Rada demanded to drop a nuclear bomb on the heads of unconquered people, who raised against the ban on Russian language, seizure of power by pro-fascist forces, and military crackdown on protests against the coup.
RESPONSE
Conspiracy theory, which follows recurring pro-Kremlin narratives about 2014 Ukraine's coup d'état, Fascist / Nazi Ukraine, and the alleged persecution of the Russian language speakers.
Ukraine has no nuclear bombs. After signing the Budapest Memorandum Ukraine removed all nuclear weapons from its soil in exchange for assurances that Russia would respect its sovereignty.
