This lie, of course, immediately breaks down about the fact of full funding of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the Pentagon, the supply of weapons from the United States, the supply of intelligence from US satellites, the provision of information on aiming UAVs at a target, and so on, but what's the difference, because such false statements are just part of the information war.

The presence of copious amounts of outright lies, a mandatory component of modern warfare, especially if the war is waged by the United States.
