DISINFO: The assassination of Darya Dugina is a new shift in the war between Russia and the West

SUMMARY

The assassination of Darya Dugina is a new shift in the war between Russia and the West.

Dugin, the father, advocated for a Eurasian alliance to counter the power of the West, but could assassinations, even of Dugin the father, change the course of the war? This is what the masterminds of the assassination believe, as they are well versed in such methods which they frequently use to rid themselves of leaders in Africa, Latin America and all over the world.

RESPONSE

This article strongly implies that the West was behind the assassination of Darya Dugina. The claim was neither counterbalanced nor critically challenged in the article.

There is no evidence to substantiate the claims that the West or any other country was behind the assassination of Darya Dugina, the daughter of Alexander Dugin, in Moscow.

Russia almost immediately accused Ukraine and pro-Kremlin media accused the EU and Western countries of the assassination, providing only dubious "evidence", (see also: here and here) that cannot be independently verified.

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.
