"In recent days, many people have privately asked me whether there is any truth to the so-called specific plan for 100 days. [...] It was obvious to me that this was a disinformation campaign as soon as I saw that the plan was supposed to lead to something by May 9," she wrote.
The diplomat noted that "there is no such date in the historical and informational space of the United States at all."
"Even on [Memorial and Reconciliation Day] May 8, I am the only ambassador who comes with a team every year of my four-year ambassadorial service to lay a wreath at the World War II memorial and speak. Last year, the French ambassador joined because it was a significant anniversary – D-Day (the 80th anniversary of the landing of U.S. troops in Normandy. – "GORDON"), and the three years prior, it was only Ukraine. So as soon as you see that supposedly 'Americans are offering something before May 9' – you can confidently apply critical thinking," Markarova explained.
She called it "astonishing" that in the 10th year of the Russian invasion, "the Russians still easily throw their provocations" into the Ukrainian information space.
Markarova also agreed with the opinion of Ukrainian publicist Vitaliy Portnikov, who considers the so-called Trump plan circulating on social media to be "another and quite foolish Russian disinformation."
