DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: Petro Poroshenko ("the Fuhrer") and Mikheil Saakashvili have been appointed...

SUMMARY

Petro Poroshenko (“the Fuhrer”) and Mikheil Saakashvili have been appointed by the US.

RESPONSE

Repeating already debunked disinformation. Ukraine's President Poroshenko was elected on 25 May with a clear majority in a vote which the OSCE characterized as showing the "clear resolve of the authorities to hold what was a genuine election largely in line with international commitments and with a respect for fundamental freedoms" (bit.ly/1Tdu8Qw), . Former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili was appointed governor of Ukraine’s Odessa region by the President of Ukraine.
