Russia is using the attack of Hamas terrorists on the State of Israel to discredit Ukraine, in particular, by spreading false information about the alleged sale of Western weapons to terrorists by the Ukrainian side, the Main Intelligence Agency of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine said on Monday.

"The Russian intelligence service has already transferred to HAMAS terrorists captured weapons made in the United States and EU countries captured during the fighting in Ukraine. The next step, according to the Russians' plan, should be fake accusations of the Ukrainian military of selling Western weapons to terrorists on a regular basis," the intelligence said in the Telegram channel on Monday.

It is noted that as part of the disinformation campaign, these fakes should form the basis for a number of "revelatory publications" and "investigations" in the Western media.

"For credibility, the Russian special services intend to use the relevant comments of the traitor from the Ukrainian Border Guard Service, senior lieutenant Ruslan Syrovoy, who recently fled to Moscow. Another provocation of the enemy is aimed at discrediting the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the complete cessation of military assistance to our state from Western partners," the intelligence said Defense Ministry.
