DISINFO: Ukraine, Estonia and Great Britain killed Darya Dugina

SUMMARY

The terrorist act that killed Darya [Dugina] is a joint military operation, regretfully a successful one, of three secret services: Ukraine, Estonia and Great Britain.

RESPONSE

Conspiracy theory and pro-Kremlin disinformation about the UK, Estonia and Ukraine as well as secret services.

There is no evidence to substantiate the claims that Ukraine, UK, Estonia or any other country was behind the assassination of Darya Dugina in Moscow, daughter of Alexander Dugin.

Russia has almost immediately accused Ukraine of the assassination, providing only dubious "evidence", (see also: here and here) that cannot be independently verified. Ukraine has denied any involvement in the attack, the same goes for Estonia.

EU condemn all attacks on civilians, including the car explosion in the Moscow region which killed Ms Darya Dugina on Saturday 20 August 2022. The EU consider a full and impartial investigation of the incident important.

See related pro-Kremlin disinformation claims alleging various conspiracies against Russia by foreign secret services.

This disinformation claim appeared in the same broadcast as an allegation that British intelligence may be behind the assassination of Darya Dugina and that Ukraine is a terrorist state.
