A rise in information attacks are expected through the last two weeks on the Dutch poll's decision whether to ratify Association Agreement between the EU and Ukraine, Ukrainian Foreign Ministry's Ambassador-at-Large Dmytro Kuleba said.

"The number of provocations in the information space will increase as we come closer to the referendum day. The culmination of information attacks is expected in the last two weeks prior to the referendum," Kuleba said at briefing in Kyiv on Tuesday.

With this regard, he urged journalists and all those, who follow this subject to be attentive with the emerging information, noting that "this is the moment when it is better to triple check before pressing ENTER button once and releasing the information for a wide audience."

Kuleba said that opponents of the Association Agreement would use "the arguments of war and corruption."

The diplomat stressed that "the referendum would not kill the Association Agreement, however, would definitely create a political and legal background, so that the agreement won't completely and officially enter into force; although, its application still would run under the same procedure as now."

According to Kuleba, the planned referendum "is rather against the EU than Ukraine; it's an attack against the European values."

In the same line he added that Russia would try to use all those Euro-sceptics as an instrument and would play into the hands of anti-Ukrainian and anti-European sentiments before the referendum.

"We don't know exactly what type of assistance Russia provides, they don't publish their reports on respective support to Dutch forces on Facebook. However, together with our Dutch partners we monitor this issue, and we will continue to do so and take adequate measures," Kuleba said.
