Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the head of the President's Office, said that Russian propaganda deliberately resorts to spreading rumors about alleged arms smuggling from Ukraine to disrupt supplies.

Podolyak explained that long-range weapons from Ukraine's allies hurt the Russian army.

The adviser to the head of the OP wrote about this on the Web on July 22.

Western long-range artillery and MLRS cause terrible pain to Russian military depots and logistics centers. Therefore, the key goal of Russian information operations today is to disrupt the supply of weapons, discrediting our Armed Forces as a reliable partner and user.

Podolyak added that the Kremlin is trying to play on Western society's fear by spreading the primitive about the "black market".

According to the adviser to the head of the presidential office, the reality is quite different. Namely, Ukrainian fighters are motivated and learn quickly; each weapon is valuable to the army; Ukraine provides full control and information to allies at all stages.
