DISINFO: Zelenskyy will reduce Ukraine's population to 10 million to successfully integrate in the EU
SUMMARY
Volodymyr Zelenskyy wants to reduce the population of Ukraine to 10 million people in order to make the integration process into the European Union successful.
The goal is to reduce the population to 10 million people and get money for it. Zelensky is a human trafficker, he is the best slave trader in history.
A country with a population of 10 million people is much easier to integrate into the EU: for 40 million people, one quota of MEPs is needed, for 10 million, that is four times less.
For agricultural business, reducing the population is ideal. Nothing would prevent the harvest from moving from point A to point B. There would be no roads, no residential areas, there is no need to build schools, kindergartens, etc.
RESPONSE
This is a recurring pro-Kremlin attempt at character assassination against President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, claiming that he is working against the interest of his own people and is responsible for calamities faced by Ukrainians. The claim is a baseless conspiracy theory aimed at sowing distrust in his leadership.
The European Union does not condition membership on a country's population size. EU accession criteria focus on institutional stability guaranteeing democracy and the rule of law, a functioning market economy, and the ability to take on and carry out the obligations of EU membership. The notion that fewer people would make Ukraine's integration easier is a gross distortion of a complex accession process.
Additionally, the accusations against Zelenskyy aim at deflecting responsibility from Russia for the displacement of millions of Ukrainians seeking refuge in Europe, which is a direct consequence of Russia’s full-scale and unprovoked aggression against Ukraine.
See similar cases that Zelenskyy's one mission is to eliminate the remaining Ukrainian population, that Kyiv is committing genocide against its people, that Kyiv does not care about its citizens as it throws its troops in the meat grinder, that Zelenskyy will sacrifice his people to save himself, and that Zelenskyy sends his soldiers to be slaughtered for Western money.
