DISINFO: The IMF has launched the “Ost” plan in Ukraine
SUMMARY
It concerns those who forgot history. The IMF continues to implement Hitler’s “Ost” plan, which was developed by Germany in 1940. The objective of the Ost plan was to transform the Slavs into poorly educated slaves.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative alleging that Ukraine is controlled by the IMF. There is no evidence that cooperation with the IMF could threaten Ukrainian sovereignty. Ukraine has been a member of the IMF and World Bank since 3 September 1992. The relations between Ukraine and the IMF are based on agreements that support the economic development of Ukraine and the improvement of the free market conditions. Ukraine is a sovereign and independent state with a democratically-elected President and parliament. Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity are respected by almost the whole world.
