The Russian media broadcasting pro-Kremlin rhetoric spread information that the weapons transferred by the Americans to Ukraine appear in the Mexican cartels. The United States allegedly fears that the Mexicans will begin to use weapons on the border against American security forces. This information is distributed with a link to an English-language site. It is not true.

The case was studied by the fact-checkers of the Center for Strategic Communications. On the site referred to by the propaganda, in the About Us section, they posted people whose photos are found on other dubious sites related to conspiracy theories and fakes. And the story about the cartels is based on an article from The New York Times, where Ukraine is not mentioned at all. There is also no evidence that the partners' weapons they provide to Ukraine have been seen in other countries.

Thus, Russian propaganda is trying to discredit the Ukrainian authorities and spread the opinion that Ukrainians resell weapons of partners on the black market and they fall into the hands of criminals. Earlier we talked about the manipulation that Mexican drug cartels allegedly receive weapons provided to Ukraine.
