DISINFO: Crimean referendum of nine years ago represents the highest form of democracy
SUMMARY
US and Britain, Ukraine’s puppet masters, cannot acknowledge that the Crimean referendum of nine years ago represents the highest form of democracy, because the West is the enemy of democracy.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation about the illegal annexation of Crimea
In 2014, Russian troops obliged the parliament of Crimea to organise a so-called referendum, which was illegitimate under international law, and then formally annexed the peninsula and brought it under Russian territorial control.
No international body recognises the so-called referendum in 2014. The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution entitled “Territorial integrity of Ukraine”, stating that the referendum in Crimea was not valid and could not serve as a basis for any change in the status of the peninsula. On 17 December 2018, the UN General Assembly confirmed its non-recognition of the illegal annexation of Crimea.
Read similar cases claiming that The West has made Ukraine its colony and is using Ukrainians as cannon fodder, that Crimea rejoined Russia as a result of a popular referendum, that Ukraine, USA and EU recognised the reunification of Crimea with Russia, and that Crimea voted to secede after the coup in Kyiv
