Fake Lies about the majority of Ukrainians in Europe negatively assessing the Revolution of Dignity

Russian propaganda Telegram channels are spreading a video claiming that, according to a survey conducted in European countries, 71% of respondents from Ukraine consider the Euromaidan of 2013-2014 to have been a mistake, as the expected improvement in quality of life and EU membership did not happen. As supposed evidence, propagandists refer to a survey conducted by the t-online portal, as well as a report from Euronews.

However, fact-checkers from the Proverieno (Checked) resource have debunked this information. They found no mention of such a study on t-online. While the portal covers events related to Ukraine, its surveys typically focus on public opinion in Germany and rarely cover international issues.

The video is also a compilation of old images with automatic translations, which do not align with Euronews' style. Furthermore, neither on the official website of the media nor on its verified social media accounts on X, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube is there any such report.

Russian agitprop spreads this fake to discredit the Revolution of Dignity, undermine Ukrainians' trust in the European course, and sow despair among those who were forced to leave Ukraine. These manipulations aim to justify Russian aggression and impose a narrative about Ukraine's supposed ‘wrong choice’.
