DISINFO: "Ukrainegate" gains momentum in the United States

SUMMARY

As “Russiagate” proved to be a hoax, a “Ukrainegate” gains momentum in the USA. In the centre of the scandal is the former US Vice President, Joe Biden and the leadership of the Democratic Party. Ukrainian politicians, close to the Maidan movement, have been interfering with the US elections, offering the Democratic Party “dirt on Donald Trump”.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative denying Russia's interference in US election. No evidence given of Ukraine's interference in American election. For background read here.
