DISINFO: Kyiv tried to arrange a «COVID-19-sabotage» on Donbas
SUMMARY
Kyiv tried to arrange a «COVID-19-sabotage» on Donbas. The Ukrainian side handed over to DNR a prisoner who was infected with the coronavirus infection COVID-19.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin narrative about Ukrainian aggression against residents of Donbas in addition to Ukraine's management of the coronavirus crisis. This is an unfounded claim, presented without any evidence. Based on a large number of photos and videos taken during the exchange of detained persons between Kyiv and “LDNR” on 16 April 2020, it can be seen that they were all provided with personal protective elements such as masks. The respective photos and videos were published by Ukrainian media. Even Newsfront itself published photos showing that the detainees are wearing Personal Protective Equipment.
