DISINFO: US President Donald Trump accused Ukraine of waging genocide against...

SUMMARY

US President Donald Trump accused Ukraine of waging genocide against its own people, as reported by CNN radio.

RESPONSE

CNN did not run such a report anywhere, neither on radio, nor television, or their website. Furthermore, no other US media reported on such a statement by the US President. According to StopFake, pro-Kremlin outlets reported a similar story in 2015 in which President Obama seemingly also accused Ukraine of genocide against its own people, also that time giving CNN as the source bit.ly/2oD3mt0, .
