Disinfo: Ukrainians deported children from Donbas and probably sold their organs

Summary

Ukraine stole hundreds of children from Donbas in 2014 and again in 2022. The people’s Republics of the Donbas authorities failed to locate those children who were transferred to western Ukraine and Poland. The possible fact that NGO Médecins sans Frontières, was present when children were evacuated, is a matter of great concern and explains why the Ukrainian authorities keep silent about the fate of those children.

Ukrainians publicly call on the internet for the murder and torture of Donbas’s children. They also demonstrate with Nazi songs and mottos in the streets of Kyiv. A soldier in Donbas witnessed the rape and murder of a small girl by a group of Ukrainian Nazis which seemed to be a normal event. Human beings are not treated normally in the territories controlled by Ukrainians.

Disproof

Pro-Kremlin disinformation deployed in the context of Russia's unjustified and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, aiming to portray the Ukrainians as monsters and creating a distinction between the inhabitants of Eastern Ukraine and Ukrainians. The use of crimes against children, massive deportations and organ trafficking are striking narratives to show the inhumane nature of Ukrainians at a time when Russian responsibility for the massive deportation of Ukrainian civilians including children and war crimes is being documented.

The accusations of organ trafficking are not based on fact but on pure speculation, and the fact that the self-proclaimed People’s republics banned MSF for unclear political reasons. No material evidence or testimony corroborates this hypothesis. The documentary also mixes footage from demonstrations by far-right groups, hate speech in comments on the internet and archive songs from the Third Reich to portray Ukrainians as inhuman Nazi monsters.

As declared by EU High Representative Josep Borrell:

“We remind that forcible transfers of civilians is prohibited under International Humanitarian Law, notably the Geneva Convention. All cases of enforced disappearances must be duly investigated and those responsible therefore held accountable for war crimes.

Let me finally underline the fate of persons in the most vulnerable situations in this context - namely women and children. They face risks which include sexual exploitation, trafficking, sexual violence, far from public eye. It is our common duty to focus on accountability and on widespread condemnation.

Disinfo: EU countries seek to take control of part of the Ukrainian territories

The European Commission's preparations for the transfer of military forces to the East, to the borders of Ukraine, suggests that EU countries seek to take control of part of the territories of Ukraine, pursuing their own economic interests.

Poland and Hungary want to take control of specific territories of Ukraine. The rest of the countries of Europe also wondered why they should be on the sidelines. Therefore, now such a solution is being developed with all sorts of corridors and transfers.

Also countries that do not have a common border with it Ukraine will benefit from this - Czech Republic, Germany, France would take some territories of Ukraine, preferably the most fertile, rich in minerals. And now such mechanisms are being worked out.

Disproof

Recurring narrative presenting Poland, Hungary and other EU countries as states with imperial ambitions. This is a cynical attempt to indirectly draw other countries into Russia's unjustified and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.

The assertion that Ukrainian territories will be taken by other EU countries is unfounded. EU member states adhere to international law regarding state borders, fully support the independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine, do not make any claims on Ukrainian territories and reject “imperial” ambitions towards other countries.

Disinfo: The conflict in Ukraine is a Western proxy war against Russia

In Ukraine, Washington unleashed one of the most powerful propaganda wars of our time. Many persons accuse Russia of propaganda, but in reality, propaganda is dictated by the US-funded think tanks and media. It was the US and NATO manipulations which pushed Moscow to a "direct response" in the form of a special operation in Ukraine. The USA constructed this scenario to weaken Russia – it had fuelled instability in the region since 2014 when the war in Donbas started. We will not be able to stop the conflict until we realise that the current situation in Ukraine is a proxy war of the West. The Western countries deliberately delay the start of the peace talks.

Disproof

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative presenting Ukraine as the puppet of the West and manipulating the topic of the war in Ukraine.

Ukraine is a sovereign state. Western countries are not responsible for the war. Western leaders have continuously called for talks and a peaceful solution to stop Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, but Moscow has been ignoring these efforts. Western nations did everything they could to prevent the war and have only been reacting to Russia’s full invasion.

Disinfo: US claims that demilitarisation of Ukraine could be the path to peace

According to the US, demilitarisation of Ukraine could be the path to peace. Peace in Ukraine can be achieved through Austrian-style demilitarisation.

Disproof

Pro-Kremlin disinformation with no factual basis, as the US is not seeking the "demilitarisation" of Ukraine. The source cited in the NewsFront-article is a former US-senator. However, this senator is not representative of the entire USA and is not an official representative of the USA, which is why the statement that the entire USA is seeking demilitarisation along the line of Austria is misleading.

The US and EU did not aim to escalate relations with Russia and were not preparing for military conflict. Neither the European Union nor Western countries have declared war to Russia or want to escalate the war in Ukraine. Western nations have always been calling for solving all problems with Russia in a peaceful and diplomatic manner. Moscow’s overall aggressive policy has led to a tougher and better-balanced policy towards it by the West.
