DISINFO: The West behind the attempted murder of Slovak PM Robert Fico
Anti-Semitism and disinformation, accusing the West of the attempt on the life of Slovakian PM Robert Fico. This also pushes a conspiracy theory and disinformation narrative about global elites secretly ruling the world.
There is no evidence of the involvement of any Western country in the assassination attempt on Fico.
Fake: Five Years Ago, Russian Language was Banned in Ukraine and Linguistic Genocide Has Began
The legislation in Ukraine regulating the use of the Ukrainian language does not apply to personal communication or religion, and does not provide for any criminal liability for violations of its norms, “language patrols” or “language inspectors”, as propaganda claims. Ukrainians themselves do not see any harassment of Russian-speaking Ukrainians, as evidenced by the results of opinion polls.
