DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: Turkey and Ukraine are at war with the residents of Crimea

SUMMARY

Ankara, together with Kyiv, is waging a war against the inhabitants of Crimea in general and the Crimean Tatars in particular.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the illegal annexation of Crimea. Ukraine and Turkey do not wage war against the residents of Crimea. Turkey supports the territorial integrity of Ukraine, including its sovereignty over Crimea. See more disinformation cases regarding Crimea in our database, like claims that reunification with Russia paved the way for Tatar's language in Crimea, that Turkey considers Crimea to be Turkish, that Ukraine buried the main waterway of Crimea - the North Crimean canal or that Ukraine has been barbarically plundering Crimea for 23 years.
