Disinfo: Ukrainians will remain without land because of the IMF

Summary

Ukrainians will remain without their land, as a consequence of the conditions imposed by the International Monetary Fund for offering financial help. IMF wants to restructure the Ukraine’s economy by reducing social programs and allowing the free sale of land. The multinational companies will have the absolute power, and Monsanto will plant their GMO products there.

Disproof

No evidence given. Ukraine's law (moratorium) prohibiting the sale and purchase of land by foreigners has been extended several times and currently is valid till 1 January 2019. In fact, the land reform and lifting of the moratorium on land sales in Ukraine have been withdrawn from the IMF Memorandum in 2017, and are not a mandatory requirement for the provision of the next tranche of funding.

Nazism is gradually coming back to Europe: “Nothing happened in Europe. It’s slowly going back to what it was, the Europe that generated Nazism and lived with Nazism, and the small hitch that happened after Nazi Germany was defeated is about to end.”
