DISINFO: Ethnic Russians in Ukraine are under a dictatorial regime
SUMMARY
Ethnic Russians in Ukraine are under a dictatorial regime that turns them into anti-Russians through terrorism and propaganda.
RESPONSE
There is no dictatorial regime in Ukraine. This very common piece of disinformation claims that Ukrainians are anti-Russian. The actions of Russia such as the illegal annexation of Crimea and the backing of the separatists and their self-proclaimed authorities in eastern Ukraine are perceived as unfriendly steps/aggression by the majority of Ukrainian society.
