DISINFO: Refugees from the Middle East will enter Ukraine and ruin the country

SUMMARY

These elections are the last ones. In 2024, Ukraine will no longer exist. WWIII is approaching. Refugees from the Middle East will enter Ukraine and ruin the country.

RESPONSE

No evidence given to support the claims concerning the demise of Ukraine, imminent World War 3 or around the claims about an influx of migrants. Similar disinformation message to a previous claims made in the Russian media, in 2017, that Ukraine will accept 20,000 refugees instead of Germany. See the debunk here. See also article on EUvsDisinfo website on how Ukraine stands out as the country, most targeted by disinformation by pro-Kremlin media.
