Russian TV stations claim Kyiv is arming Hamas
The claim that Ukraine has been arming Hamas terrorists was spread by accounts on social media and by Russian officials.
Most notable among them is Dmitry Medvedev, a former Russian president and close ally of President Vladimir Putin.
In a statement on his official Telegram account, Medvedev claimed that the weapons sent by NATO members to Ukraine are being used in Israel.
These claims have also been circulating from other notable public figures, including US Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia, 14th District), who on X (formerly Twitter), claimed that Ukraine and Afghanistan could be supplying US weapons to Hamas to use against Israel.
"Did they come from Afghanistan? Did they come from Ukraine?" Taylor Greene wrote on X just a day after Hamas's October 7 invasion of Israel. "Highly likely the answer is both."
Further purported evidence of this link is a supposed BBC clip spread on social media claiming that investigative journalism and Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) group Bellingcat verified that Ukraine was sending weapons to Hamas.
However, this was debunked by Bellingcat itself, which took to social media saying that the video was a forgery and that all the claims were false.
Meanwhile, Russia has also been hosting Hamas members in an official capacity, having welcomed a delegation of the Gaza-based Palestinian terrorist group in Moscow on October 26, a visit that was confirmed both by Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova and by Hamas itself.
Ukraine has also accused Russia of having had a role in Hamas's brutal October 7 attack on Israel.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
