As Russian social media buzzes with allegations of stolen weapons, Ukraine is seeking to reassure allies its high-tech military aid is accounted for
A French howitzer was said to have been captured by Russian forces. A prized US rocket launcher was allegedly sold by Ukrainian soldiers. A viral video claimed to show anti-tank weapons on display at a Balkan car boot sale.
The Ukrainian parliament is hoping to shut down suspicions with the formation of a commission for monitoring the dispersal of military aid. The cross-party commission launched on July 19 is tasked with creating a legal framework for government oversight and gathering information about violations. Ukraine has responded strongly to the allegations, recognising that they are potentially damaging. Vital support packages from the US are facing growing. Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has told foreign allies the claims are part of a Russian propaganda campaign designed to exploit war fatigue. “This topic is strategically necessary for them,” Mr Kuleba told Forbes Ukraine.
