Russian disinformation about coronavirus is repetition of Soviet theses about AIDS

While scientists are trying to develop vaccines against the coronavirus and understand how to overcome it, the Russian mass media and bot factories are conducting a targeted campaign to convince the world that coronavirus has been specially developed by American scientists. “They say that it’s one of the weapons developed by NATO.

В Україні поки немає закону, який регулює обіг зброї. Втім, перед тим як його ухвалювати, країна має пройти через політичну дискусію: яким шляхом ми йдемо?
