DISINFO: Catalan leaders have recognized Crimea

SUMMARY

Catalan leaders have recognized Crimea and said they consider it a part of Russia

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative aiming to legitimize the illegal annexation of Crimea.

The disinformation message repeats ungrounded claims in the pro-Kremlin which appeared in 2016, alleging that Crimea is soon to be recognized by independent Catalonia. See a case form 2016 here.

See similar disinformation cases alleging that Crimea is now recognized as an integral part of Russia; Ukrainian state company Naftogaz recognized Crimea; Czechia intends to build hotels in Crimea.
