Russian Telegram channels twist Ukraine’s NATO weapon repair struggles into disinformation
False claims about Ukraine’s 128th Separate Transcarpathian Mountain Assault Brigade have spread across Russian Telegram channels. The manipulated reports suggest technicians are deliberately given NATO-supplied weapons without instructions. In reality, the original article highlights logistical hurdles—not secret orders—behind repair challenges.
The misleading reports stem from a Ukrainian media piece titled Fighters of the 128th Transcarpathian Brigade Repair Even NATO Weapons Without Instructions. Russian sources twisted this headline to imply a command-level decision to withhold manuals. The actual article describes real difficulties: export controls, logistical delays, and the complexity of high-tech weaponry.
The manipulated reports distort genuine challenges into a fabricated story of deliberate obstruction. Ukrainian forces continue to adapt to the complexities of foreign-supplied equipment under wartime pressures. No verified command policy restricts access to repair instructions for NATO weapons.
