Ukraine Plotting False Flag Chemical Attack, Russia Says

The real war crimes in the Ukraine were committed by Ukrainians against other Ukrainians.

Russia has been saying for a while that the Ukies are planning a false flag chemical weapons attack. In fact, the US State Department was suggesting something like this (in the reverse) before the invasion even happened.

It seems pretty likely, the more desperate the Ukies get.

Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) is plotting “another provocation with the use of hazardous chemicals” as part of Kiev’s smear campaign against Moscow, Russia’s Ministry of Defense claimed on Wednesday, amid the ongoing military offensive in the neighboring country.

Speaking at a briefing, the head of the National Defense Control Center of Russia, Colonel-General Mikhail Mizintsev said that the incident allegedly being planned is set to take place in the city of Sumy in northeastern Ukraine. He claimed that Ukrainian territorial defense units have already been provided with protective hazmat suits and are now participating in training within a chemical attack scenario.

“According to the plan of the Kiev scriptwriters,” Mizintsev claimed, “units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will launch artillery strikes on the border regions of Russia from the settlements of the Sumy region. After a staged retaliatory fire attack, allegedly carried out by the Russian armed forces, Ukrainian special services plan to spray potent poisonous substances in the provocation area.”

After the staged incident is recorded by experts from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, it will be “used to subsequently accuse the Russian armed forces of using chemical weapons against civilians,” the chief of the National Defense Control Center said, citing “available reliable information” obtained by the Russian military.

Kiev has not yet commented on the allegations.

Mizintsev stressed that Russian forces do not use chemical weapons and that the country’s stockpiles have been destroyed in accordance with international agreements.

Since the launch of the Russian attack on Ukraine in late February Moscow and Kiev have repeatedly accused each other of various war crimes, each in turn then denying any culpability. Russia has repeatedly warned of possible chemical attacks by the SBU. In April it also accused the US of planning to use weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in Ukraine in order to frame Moscow. Kiev and its Western supporters have been denying these accusations.

As far as anyone is able to tell, every single “war crime” has been committed by the Ukrainians. Some of them out in the open, in the case of the post-tapings and public whippings of random civilians (rounding up civilians and torturing them is a war crime), but the bigger ones were staged as false flags – the Mariupol theater bombing, the Bucha massacre, the missile attack on the Donbass train station.

They did these things when they were not losing nearly as badly as they are now, and the entire Western media covered them up. So, it seems pretty likely they’re going to do something even bigger now, and try to rally countries like India against China, while also potentially justifying a NATO/US invasion of the Ukraine.
