DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: The president of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko and his supporters act...

SUMMARY

The president of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko and his supporters act as Hitler and Joseph Goebbels.

RESPONSE

This is a common allegation about the Ukranian government by pro-Kremlin outlets, as we have shown before bit.ly/2mUOTbO, . There were democratic presidential elections and parliamentary elections held in Ukraine in 2014. The parties that devoted to democratic values received a strong majority of votes. The far-right Right Sector gained only 1.8% of the votes.
