Brussels can force the Kyiv authorities to stop the mass shelling of Donbas settlements and other gross violations of international humanitarian law. The EU officials ignore the many war crimes committed by Ukrainian security forces and openly support Russophobia.
Summary
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reports on the impending provocations of the United States and NATO.
Provocations are necessary for the West to accuse the Russian military of using chemical, biological or nuclear weapons in Ukraine. The first US scenario is a "staging incident under a false flag." A provocation is possible at the Zaporozhye NPP. Also, Kyiv can strike at the storage of radioactive waste in Kamensky, Dnepropetrovsk region and chemical and biological facilities in Kharkov and Kyiv.
The second option is the most covert use of weapons of mass destruction in small volumes. The scenario was considered at the Azovstal enterprise. The third scenario is "the open use of WMD on the battlefield.
Disproof
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about false flag operations and chemical weapons attacks. Such claims are a part of a wider disinformation campaign accompanying Russian invasion of Ukraine.
There is no evidence to back the claim that the US and Ukraine are preparing a chemical or biological provocation or a use of the weapons of mass distruction.
Оn the contrary, many Western leaders have real concerns’ Russia could use chemical weapons.
"Russia could use chemical weapons in Ukraine or manufacture a "false flag" operation that uses them. Russia has long and well-documented track record of using chemical weapons" as well as its pattern of "accusing the West of the very violations that Russia itself is perpetrating," White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki stated.
In fact, the Russian military took dangerous actions on the territories of the Chernobyl and Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plants.
There was a military attack as Russian forces seized the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and heavy fighting sparked a blaze in a training building at the site. A Russian projectile hit a building within the site of the plant, causing a localized fire, but none of the reactors was nearby and they were unaffected, according to the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Grossi. The fire was extinguished, and officials said the facility was safe. Read more here.
Russian troops seized Chernobyl at the beginning of their invasion of Ukraine on 24 February. During its occupation of the Chernobyl nuclear site, Russia appears to have stationed troops in an area of high radioactive contamination. Tank treads ripped up the toxic soil, bulldozers carved trenches and bunkers, and soldiers spent a month camped in — and dug into — a radioactive forest.
Allegations about “false flag” chemical attacks in Syria have been debunked many times before (see here for a comprehensive list in our database in addition to our article The Least Accurate Oracle in the World. In fact, the constant use of chemical substances as a weapon by the Syrian regime of Bashar Al Assad, including the Douma attack, have been proven by UN investigators.
