DISINFO: The emerging evidence confirms Kyiv’s complicity in the murder of Darya Dugina

SUMMARY

The emerging evidence confirms Kyiv’s complicity in the murder of Darya Dugina.

RESPONSE

Conspiracy theory and pro-Kremlin disinformation about the 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.
