This was reported by the Center for Countering Disinformation on Telegram.

The Daily Mail published an article about the fact that armed migrants entered Great Britain through the English Channel. Despite the lack of references to Ukrainians in the article, the Russian media spread it, adding the assumption that as a result of increasing arms supplies to Ukraine, Great Britain will face armed Ukrainian refugees in the future.

"Such statements by Russia are outright fake news, the main purpose of which is to create the impression that helping Ukraine with weapons will threaten the security of our country's allies. We would like to remind you that the official position of Great Britain remains unchanged - support for Ukraine until a complete military victory," the Center under the National Security and Defense Council emphasized.
