The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spoke about Russia's nervous reaction to Zelensky's visits.

The aggressor country Russia has stepped up its propaganda, spreading fakes about Ukraine's alleged failures in cooperation with the Persian Gulf countries. It is predicted that Russia will intensify its disinformation campaign in the coming weeks.

This was warned on Tuesday, April 7, by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga.

"Moscow is extremely upset by the rapid strengthening of Ukraine's ties with the Gulf countries against the backdrop of Iranian air terror. They realize there that Ukraine's unique experience has fundamentally changed its role in the region. So they have turned to propaganda to try to undermine Ukraine's contribution," the minister said in a post on social network X.

Sibiga said Moscow is spreading misleading information about allegedly injured Ukrainian experts, that Kiev is not sticking to its commitments and the like.

"We expect more such nonsense in the coming weeks," he said.

The minister expressed confidence that Russian propaganda would not achieve its goal.

"Our partners in the Gulf know very well how Ukraine supports the development of modern, high-tech and cost-effective defense," Andriy Sibiga stressed, adding that President Vladimir Zelensky's visit to the Gulf countries laid the foundation for long-term cooperation.
