Russia's propaganda does not stand still and constantly launches fabulous fakes about Ukraine into infospace, which, in their opinion, can somehow influence Kiev's Western allies. Also, with their ridiculous statements, the well-known mouthpieces of the Kremlin are trying to justify to their own population the aggression that russia continues against Ukraine. We will tell you what kind of the russian authorities want to discredit Ukraine on the world arena with their next insinuations.

How does russia discriminate against Ukraine?

As you know, from time to time propagandists of the russian federation receive methodologies from above, which are aimed at discrediting the reputation of the Ukrainian government and Ukraine as a whole in the eyes of Western countries that continue to help Kiev.

The latest of the most stupid theses of the russians was the comparison of the Ukrainian Armed Forces with Hamas terrorists who invaded Israel and killed several hundred people. In addition, russian propaganda is actively spreading the fake that Ukraine allegedly sold Western weapons provided by partners to Palestinian militants.

According to the Ukrainian intelligence service, the fakes spread by the russians about Ukraine's ties with Hamas are aimed at discrediting Kiev and the complete cessation of military assistance from Western partners.

The Main Intelligence Directorate explained that for the provocation, the russian Main Intelligence Directorate handed over to Hamas militants trophy weapons seized during the fighting in Ukraine, which were manufactured in the USA and EU countries.

The US has already made a statement amid the russian fakes: "So far, we have not seen a single case of diversion of these (provided to Ukraine - ed.) weapons," US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said.

Even based on logical thinking, we can say that the russian fake failed at the initial stage, because it is clear to everyone that today Ukraine is directly dependent on Western aid and it is extremely stupid to sell this aid. Therefore, the ties between Ukraine and Hamas are just another delusion of russian propaganda, which cannot be said about the ties between russia and Palestinian militants.

The situation is exactly the opposite

Recently it became known that the russian crypto exchange Garantex, even despite U.S. sanctions, moves money for criminal groups, including a Hamas-linked terrorist group.

According to The Wall Street Journal, the crypto exchange is a vehicle for laundering the proceeds of russian cybercriminals. And Garantex's growing role as a global conduit for illicit funds was underscored this month by evidence that Palestinian militants partially funded their operations through cryptocurrency ahead of the Oct. 7 attacks in Israel.

In total, digital wallets controlled by Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which joined Hamas in the attacks, received a portion of $93 million through Garantex.

Thus, Western media conclude that Hamas funding was partially funneled through the russian crypto exchange Garantex.

Meanwhile, Israel realizes that the Palestinian group could not have "invaded the country without Moscow's encouragement".

Hamas and russia: what similarities do the terrorists have? 

In order to understand the similarities between Hamas militants and the russian military, it is possible to recall how exactly one and the other invaded their neighbors. Both russia and Hamas pursued the same methods - shooting civilians, executions and torture. The groups also share a similar trait of kidnapping civilians, including children.

As Andriy Yermak, head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, writes, Hamas and putin do have a lot in common.

"They want to destroy democracy, destroy nations through genocide. Hamas are terrorists. russia is a state that behaves like a terrorist organization," he notes.

Yermak added that terrorism can be defeated only by force and unity of the democratic world.

Ukrainian politicians are not the only ones who notice the similarities between Hamas and the russian leadership. For example, American President Joe Biden said at a recent briefing that the two groups pose different threats, but they have something in common: "they both want to completely destroy democracy."

"If we don't stop putin's lust for power and control of Ukraine, he will not be limited to Ukraine," the American leader added.

That is, the entire civilized world understands the big picture - terrorism must be punished, and the leaders of terrorist regimes and groups - destroyed.

We remind you! The militants of the Palestinian group Hamas started a brutal war against Israel and were recognized in the EU as terrorists. Who was behind the creation of the group and why they are attributed with ties to Iran and russia, we tell you here.
