DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: Poroshenko is planning a military coup

SUMMARY

The information and propaganda attack on the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy from the information channels belonging to Petro Poroshenko that began in the autumn cannot be assessed as anything other than the preparation of a coup.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the 5th President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko. No evidence of propaganda or disinformation about Zelenkyy is given. No evidence of Petro Poroshenko planning a coup. Mr Poroshenko remains a front-line politician in Ukraine and his party Solidarity is currently preparing for regional and local elections. Read a similar case: "Disinfo: Poroshenko is behind the terrorist attacks in Ukraine".
