DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: Zelenskyy's one mission is to eliminate the remaining Ukrainian population

SUMMARY

The former comedian [president Zelenskyy] has a specific mission: to eliminate the remaining population of Ukraine, either by expelling them or killing them in battle, to secure the western border with Russia along the Bug and Danube rivers.

RESPONSE

Recurrent pro-Kremlin narrative targeting personally the president of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The objective of this claim is to undermine public trust in Zelenskyy and to deflect attention away from Russia's combat losses and responsibility for the war against Ukraine.

The Ukrainian population is defending itself against Russia's unprovoked full-scale military invasion in a remarkable display of continued courage and determination. Russia is the only country responsible for the war in Ukraine and its atrocities, including the killing and displacement of large sections of the Ukrainian population. It has been coming up with different explanations and pretexts for its aggression since the beginning of its hostilities. Russia was not forced to invade Ukraine. It was Putin’s personal decision to invade Ukraine and start the largest military conflict in Europe since WWII.

See similar cases 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.
