DISINFO: US and Russia agreed on Donbas' autonomy

SUMMARY

Back in the Geneva Summit, Putin and Biden made a deal on reintegrating Donbas into Ukraine and granting special status and autonomy to the region.

RESPONSE

Recurring disinformation narrative spread by pro-Kremlin media outlets aimed at emphasising "peace on Russian terms" in the Donbas War and denigrading Ukraine as a soverign state.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Joe Biden met in Geneva in June 2021. While Ukraine was part of the discussion during the meeting, the summit between the two heads of state ended with no political decisions about Ukraine.

The Geneva Summit was heavily covered by pro-Kremlin media. See a similar disinformation case here accusing Joe Biden of being afraid of holding a joint press conference with his Russian counterpart.
