In particular, the Russians plan to "disseminate" fake news that "Corrupt Ukraine sells weapons to Hamas terrorists" and also use the Grain Corridor for the illegal arms trade.

Also, the planned disinformation effort included claims that "Rustem Umierov uses his own connections in the Arab world for the illegal arms trade" and "Lebanon's opening of the market for Ukrainian agricultural products is used for the illegal arms trade".

Quote from Intelligence: "The goal of the enemy's new information campaign remains unchanged - to completely stop the supply of weapons to the Security and Defence Forces of Ukraine from the partner states."

"The Intelligence of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defence warns journalists, representatives of Ukrainian and foreign media, and citizens of Ukraine against spreading harmful lies invented by the Russian special services."
