Description of the fake LIE
Until the end of 2024, Great Britain can make a provocation on the territory of Ukraine with the use of a nuclear bomb and then blame it on Russia. This statement of the Bulgarian politician Plamen Paskov is being spread by the Russian media.
Refutation TRUTH
Such statements are part of a special informational operation, which includes intimidation, nuclear blackmailing, and throwing the information space with messages about the Ukrainian “dirty bomb”, “provocations at the nuclear power plant”, etc.
By the way, Paskov has been appearing on Russian and Belarusian TV channels since at least 2020. There, he was spreading conspiracy theories about COVID-19; he called the mass murders of civilians by the Russian occupiers in Bucha “staging” and voiced other common Kremlin propaganda narratives.
Propagandists call Paskov (who is a veterinarian by education) a “virologist”, “political scientist”, or a “former candidate for the presidency of Bulgaria”. Paskov indeed regularly participates in elections of various levels in Bulgaria, but always loses.
Paskov is a typical pseudo-expert actively used by Russian propaganda. Russian media and video bloggers, who formerly worked on Medvedchuk’s TV channels, are also actively used to legalise his statements.
