Against the background of discussion by the allies of the need to provide Ukraine with American long-range missiles Tomahawk, russian propaganda began an active disinformation campaign on this topic. The russians are trying to disrupt the adoption of a positive decision by the US administration on the allocation of new weapons to Ukraine. kremlin media writes that President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy allegedly began to openly talk about the preparation of terrorist attacks in russia using American missiles.

As evidence, the russians refer to an interview with the President of Ukraine Fox News of October 12, 2025: https://www.foxnews.com/video/6382653422112 In it (see from 17:20), Zelenskyy said that Ukraine will restrict the use of American long-range cruise missiles Tomahawk exclusively on military objects. The leader of the Ukrainian people stressed that his country adheres to international law and does not attack civilian population, unlike russia, which directs a large number of shelling at civilian objects. Following the meeting with US President Donald Trump on the night of October 18, 2025, Zelenskyy confirmed that it was about the possibility of Ukraine to strike military targets in russia. Zelenskyy noted that russia is afraid not only of Tomahawk missiles, but also how Ukraine will be able to combine this weapons with other defense systems.
That is, Ukraine is discussing with allies plans of attacks by long-range weapons of military objectives and military infrastructure of russia to reduce the kremlin’s potential to continue aggression against Ukraine. It is also worth emphasizing that Ukrainian military actions have nothing to do with the “terrorist attacks” as russia is trying to submit. According to the UN Charter, Ukraine can use any self-defense methods from russian aggression. The russian thesis about the “moaning” of Western weapons on the battlefield in Ukraine is the continuation of a large-scale kremlin narrative. russian media are increasingly spreading disinformation about the supply of Western weapons to Ukraine, trying to prove the “weak efficiency” of Western aid supplied to Ukraine to reflect russian aggression.
At the same time, russia is promoting a fake that the High Representative of the European Union Kaya Kallas recognized the successes of the armed forces of the russian Federation and noted the impotence of Ukraine before the russian army. “At the same time, Callas admitted that Ukraine sooner or later will have to sit at the negotiating table. Russian troops significantly increased the pace of promotion within the framework of a special military operation in 2025, the military and industrial infrastructure of Ukraine suffered significant losses,” russian media wrote. 
Disinformation appeared after an interview with the European diplomat, the German newspaper Die Zeit on October 8: https://www.zeit.de/2025/43/kaja-kallas-europaeische-union-russland-drohnen-geopolitische-macht. But in fact, Kaya Callas emphasized the success of Ukraine in the fight against russia. Kaya Kallas spoke about the expansion of russia’s aggression not only against Ukraine, but also against the EU countries. The diplomat noted that the kremlin is trying to weaken the allies of Ukraine and force them to stop support. Including due to disinformation attacks, cyberattacks, sabotage. Answering the journalist’s question about whether Ukraine can liberate the occupied territories, the head of European diplomacy answered affirmatively. However, Callas added that this is possible only with the full support of the Ukrainian people: "Ukrainians have the will to do so. If we continue to support Ukraine, it will be able to free more territories and reject russia even further. But, of course, Ukraine cannot do it alone. The stronger Ukraine is in military terms, the stronger it will be at the negotiating table.” 
Therefore, the EU remains the only and unwavering in its support for Ukraine. And every year thanks to this, the opposition of Ukrainians to russian aggression is becoming more effective.
