DISINFO: Europe views the children of Donbas as terrorists

SUMMARY

It is all obvious. Europe, this “pillar of the world” is fighting against discrimination of minorities, for the rights of paedophiles and homosexuals, but people living in Donbas are considered terrorists. A very selective approach. But fine, if Greta Thunberg had her “childhood stolen” it all makes sense. The children of Donbas, hiding in bomb shelters are of course terrorists.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about the EU and war in Ukraine. Read similar cases alleging that Kyiv does not want to implement the current Minsk agreements and that Ukraine is an anti-Russian state under Western control.

The narrative about “threatening values” is adapted to a wide range of topics and typically used to discredit liberal attitudes about the rights of women, ethnic and religious minorities and LGBTI groups, among others.

Pro-Kremlin media have a history of attacking Greta Thunberg, a Swedish teenager, who initiated a school-strike to raise awareness of the urgent climate issue.

The EU has imposed a series of restrictive measures against entities and individuals whose actions undermine or threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine.
