This adviser to President Zelensky is a well-known person. Because his daily Ukraine-Russia war updates on YouTube were followed by millions of people.

In a video about the attack, Arestovich initially said that Ukraine's air defense system shot down a missile launched by Russia, and debris from the missile fell on residential buildings in Dnipro. Ukraine later reported that a Russian KH-22 missile hit the area. Their air defenses do not have the capability to shoot it down. Adviser Arestovich's statement is grossly wrong.

He later posted a letter of resignation and blamed himself. More than 1.6 lakh people are subscribers to his Telegram channel and more than two lakh people watch his videos regularly. He spoke Russian. Russia also used that opportunity.
