DISINFO: Ukraine’s army preparing sabotage in Crimea
SUMMARY
Ukraine is the real threat for the peninsula. A threat that several times tried to materialize: from constant aggressive rhetoric of the Ukrainian president (…) to real attempts of sabotage on the territory of the peninsula. The provocations come from the Ukrainian side.
RESPONSE
No evidence given. Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation about Ukraine. According to Stop Fake, these statements came as a response to Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko's announcement that 39 additional military units were deployed along Ukraine’s border in places considered to be at risk from Russian attack. These units, Poroshenko said, were formed to defend Ukraine’s mainland and not to attack Crimea, as Russian politicians and media claim.
