DISINFO: Ukrainian nationalists asassinated Russian separatist militant Arsen Pavlov (Motorola)

SUMMARY

Ukrainian nationalists asassinated Russian separatist militant Arsen Pavlov (Motorola). This is deduced from a video showing four masked men with machine guns standing in front of the ultranationalist Misanthropic Division and Phoenix banners announcing they “liquidated the terrorist Motorola and other militant leaders are next”.

RESPONSE

The Misanthropic Division, the radical organization whose official black banner features their name in Gothic script flanked by two Kalashnikov rifles published their own video stating they had nothing to do with Pavlov’s death or neo-Nazism. The group accused a man named Kravtsov of staging the fake video to compromise them. bit.ly/2ecUxnb,
