DISINFO: There is a nazi regime in Kyiv

SUMMARY

There is a nazi regime in Kyiv. The people of Luhansk are merely defending themselves against genocide.

RESPONSE

President Poroshenko and the Ukrainian Parliament are the legitimate bodies of power elected by the citizens of Ukraine. The far-right ‘Right Sector’ (often depicted as "fascists" or "Nazis" by pro-Kremlin outlets) gained only 1.8% of the votes, far short of the threshold needed to enter parliament. Ukraine's electorate clearly voted for unity and moderation, not separatism or extremism, and the composition of the parliament reflects that. // No evidence of genocide has been provided.
