Russia wants to disrupt mobilization in Ukraine, discredit Kyiv as arms recipient - Defence Ministry

Deputy Defence Minister Hanna Malyar has named two targets of Russian information campaigns.

She noted in a Telegram post that Russia wants to discredit our country as a recipient of weapons, as well as disrupt mobilization and the process of signing contracts for service.

"This has its explanation because weapons and the people who use them are what the enemy is most afraid of. While the first target is the Western consumer of information, the second is the Ukrainian one," she said.

According to Malyar, to avoid falling prey to Russia's allegations, one should "critically evaluate any information from unofficial sources", check its authenticity and "ask oneself the question: 'What is the purpose of disseminating such information?'".

Russia recently spread fake news that "corruption in Ukraine is a serious concern for the Pentagon" and that "Kyiv is not using American military aid properly".
