Фейк Ukrainian arms dealers detained in Germany

Kremlin media circulated on social media a video allegedly showing an anti-aircraft missile confiscated by the German police. Allegedly, the Bremen police detained Ukrainians who wanted to sell such weapons on the black market. Like, these weapons were actually delivered to Ukraine from the West as military aid. This fake was also spread by the Deputy Russian Ambassador to the UN, Dmytro Polianskyi, with the comment that "former Western partners warned of such a threat to their own people". These messages are not true.

The German edition of Spiegel denied the Kremlin fake. The publication quotes a Bremen police message on Twitter, which says that they have nothing to do with this video and did not arrest a single Ukrainian who sold weapons.

The fakeness of the video is also indicated by the audio track and it is identical to the video from January 2022, in which the police were trying to stop filming an arrest at a demonstration in Thuringia.
