Provocative: Russia hands over Western weapons to terrorist organization Hamas

According to information from the Ukrainian intelligence service HUR, Russia has handed over heavy weapons to the Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas, weapons that were previously captured in Ukraine and produced in the EU and the USA.

This is a targeted provocation aimed at undermining the credibility of the Ukrainian armed forces and prompting Western countries to reduce or cease their military support for Ukraine, as reported by the intelligence service on Facebook, according to the German news website n-tv.de. It is further explained on Facebook that Russia’s next step will be to accuse the Ukrainian military of allegedly selling Western weapons to the terrorists.

These statements have not yet been verified and/or confirmed by an independent party. Therefore, they should be considered with caution. In war, it can be advantageous for conflicting parties to deliberately spread misinformation to strengthen their own position or weaken the opponent’s.
