Taken out of context: CBS documentary claims on Ukrainian military aid going missing debunked

Volunteer interviewed for the CBS documentary that falsely claimed military aid went missing before reaching the Ukrainian frontlines explains how his words were taken out of context. Aid was not stolen; rather, distribution issues impeded the logistics chain’s effectiveness, but aid reached the frontlines, albeit later than planned. He describes how the duty for providing this assistance has rested on the shoulders of volunteers due to the Ukrainian government’s inability to create a better system.

 In August 2022, CBS released its documentary on military aid to Ukraine, filmed in April.

The film claims that a major portion of Western military help goes missing in Ukraine but provides no proof other than short remarks from one volunteer, Jonas Ohman, founder and CEO of Blue-Yellow, a Lithuanian organization that provides voluntary non-lethal aid to Ukraine.

We reached out to Jonas Ohman to ask for his full opinion on arms supplies to Ukraine beyond CBS cuts. Other film manipulations are also addressed here in this article.

Note: On 7 August, CBS backtracked and edited the original publication to reflect changes in the situation and improvements in the aid monitoring that occurred since April. At the same time, “it is not enough” Ukraine’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Dmytro Kuleba said, claiming CBS “misled a huge audience by sharing unsubstantiated claims.”
