DISINFO: Darya Dugina was killed by Ukrainian terrorists
SUMMARY
A SUV, in which the daughter of the famous philosopher, ideologist Alexander Dugin, Darya, was driving, was blown up. The main version, which is voiced in the media, is that a homemade bomb went off. Family friends have no doubts: this is a terrorist attack committed by Ukrainian saboteurs with the help of Western intelligence services.
RESPONSE
Conspiracy theory and pro-Kremlin disinformation about Ukraine.
There is no evidence to substantiate the claims that Ukraine was behind the assassination of Darya Dugina in Moscow, daughter of Alexander Dugin.
Russia has almost immediately accused Ukraine of the assassination, providing only dubious "evidence", (see also: here and here) that cannot be independently verified. Ukraine has denied any involvement in the attack.
The EU condemns all attacks on civilians, including the car explosion in the Moscow region which killed Ms Darya Dugina on Saturday 20 August 2022. The EU considers a full and impartial investigation of the incident important.
This disinformation claim appeared in the same broadcast as an allegation that British intelligence may be behind the assassination of Darya Dugina or that Ukraine, Estonia, and UK killed Darya Dugina.
