The American publication cited Lithuanian volunteer Jonas Ohman, who stated that "only 30% of the weapons supplied by the West eventually reaches the Ukrainian military," because "something happens to it" after it crosses the border.

The day before, the adviser to the head of the President's Office Mykhailo Podolyak said that the information leaks about the "weapons black market" in Ukraine are russian propaganda aimed at discrediting Ukraine in the eyes of Western societies.

The film "Arming Ukraine" was released on CBS on August 4. It includes, among other things, the founder of the Mozart Group military company Andy Milburn claiming that some of the Western weapons - drones, body armor, helmets, etc. - do not reach the front line.

This is not the first time that Ukraine was accused of smuggling the weapons provided by partners. Namely, official Europol representative Jan Op Gen Oorth has made a similar claim on July 21.
