The Ukrainian government has listed its objections to the report on a government website, naming Ukrainian officials who objected to it and explaining why each of the CBS news sources it dislikes should be discounted. After the report was taken down and the Twitter post about it removed, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said this was a good start but still not enough.

"Welcome first step, but it is not enough," Kuleba tweeted. "You have misled a huge audience by sharing unsubstantiated claims and damaging trust in supplies of vital military aid to a nation resisting aggression and genocide. There should be an internal investigation into who enabled this and why."

The CBS News article about the documentary was renamed, from "Why military aid to Ukraine doesn't always get to the front lines: 'Like 30% of it reaches its final destination'" to the far milder "Why military aid in Ukraine may not always get to the front lines." An editor's note on the new version of the article explicitly admits to taking advisement on its changes from the Ukrainian government, reading as follows:

"This article has been updated to reflect changes since the CBS Reports documentary 'Arming Ukraine' was filmed, and the documentary is also being updated. Jonas Ohman says the delivery has significantly improved since filming with CBS in late April. The government of Ukraine notes that U.S. defense attaché Brigadier General Garrick M. Harmon arrived in Kyiv in August 2022 for arms control and monitoring."
