Russian media write about this with reference to Western publications (Der Spiegel, Bloomberg and Watson). Like, despite the statements of the heads of the United States and Germany, which were made on the Independence Day of Ukraine regarding the supply of weapons, due to distrust of the Ukrainian authorities, the partners may not supply the weapons they promised.

According to the Center for Counteracting Disinformation, the Russians used manipulative quotes and presented their own assumption as a fait accompli. In fact, foreign media write about how the Pentagon will control financial spending and monitor the supply of weapons, and also emphasize that Ukraine cannot use these weapons for strikes on Russian territory.

Manipulating quotes from the media or politicians is a common practice for propagandists to pass off wishful thinking. They also systematically try to discredit the supply of Western weapons to Ukraine. Previously, propagandists claimed that the Ukrainian army overestimated the number of its tank brigades in order to get more weapons. The same tactic was used by spreading messages allegedly by representatives of the White House that Ukraine has no chance of returning the territories occupied by Russia.
