The Presidential Administration refuted fake news about the alleged sale of generators transferred by Poland to Ukraine

Information that generators transferred by Poland to Ukraine as humanitarian aid have allegedly appeared on sale is not true. This was reported by the Centre for Countering Disinformation.

According to the Centre, a screenshot of an advertisement for the sale of a diesel generator, which was allegedly transferred to Ukraine as humanitarian aid, began to spread on Polish social media and later on Russian Telegram channels. Such publications are actively reposted by accounts that have previously been involved in spreading discrediting materials about Ukraine.

At the same time, in the original advertisement, the seller states that the generator has all the necessary documents and was purchased in 2024 as commercial equipment. The Centre emphasises that humanitarian aid is not for sale and cannot legally enter the market.

The fake information was also officially refuted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Administration of the Republic of Poland.

The Centre reminded that Kyiv did indeed receive 130 generators of various capacities from Poland to provide critical infrastructure and social facilities. The funds for their purchase were raised by Polish volunteers. It was against the backdrop of this aid that Russia intensified its information attack.

The aim of the campaign is to try to sow discord between Polish and Ukrainian societies, devalue volunteer support and create a false impression that Ukraine is allegedly receiving financial benefits from its partners' assistance.
