Russia allegedly has a plan, approved at a high level in Moscow, to invade Ukraine under a pretext. This was revealed by "high-level" sources in the Washington post.
According to this plan, the Kremlin aims to create "alleged victims" not only in the Donbass, an area on the border between Ukraine and Russia, but also in Russia, in order to have a foothold to justify the aggression.
What was anticipated by the Washington Post was then confirmed in the open by the Pentagon. "We have information - said spokesman John Kirby - on the fact that the Russians want to invade Ukraine on a pretext. One hypothesis is that they invent an attack by Kiev, with propaganda videos showing Ukrainian corpses and weapons supplied by the 'West".
According to the sources of the Post, the operation would also involve the dissemination of images of civilian victims to a large audience, precisely to arouse outrage against the government of Kiev and thus create the pretext for an invasion by the armed forces of Moscow, which for months they have been maneuvering on the border with the territory under the sovereignty of Kiev.
The Kremlin's reply is ready: "It is not the first time that information has been released in the United States about a Russian invasion of Ukraine. But nothing has happened," said the
Kremlin spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, in response to the Pentagon.
