The White Helmets are staging provocations involving chemical weapons to provide foreign powers with justification for intervention into Syria.
Summary
It’s clear that Washington incited Poroshenko to launch this “sea provocation” against Russia in order to “thwart the Putin -Trump meeting” at the end of November on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Argentina. /// The Western masters of Kyiv are behind the provocation [incident in the Azov sea]. Ukraine is a country that has lost its sovereignty and is managed from outside, is an instrument to aggravate international tensions.
Disproof
No evidence given. Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation on Ukraine and Azov Sea.
On November 25 border patrol boats belonging to Russia’s FSB security service seized two small Ukrainian armoured artillery vessels and their crews after shooting at them, wounding several Ukrainian servicemen. Russia argued that they were in Russian waters. However a bilateral treaty between Russia and Ukraine, signed in 2003 and ratified by Russia in 2004, governs the use of the Kerch strait and the Sea of Azov, which in the treaty is considered to be the “internal waters” of both Russia and Ukraine.
The construction of the Kerch Bridge took place without Ukraine's consent and constitutes a violation of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. It has led, in parallel with the militarisation of the Azov Sea, to tougher controls on naval traffic in the strait. The European Union stated that it expects Russia to stop the inspections.
