According to the United States, Russia is going to staging and filtering the attack of the Ukrainian military either on Russian territory or on the civilian population of Donbass. On the fake video, destruction, dead people, a fake Ukrainian military equipment and Turkish drones, which are in service with Ukraine, will allegedly show.
The New York Times writes that the video is necessary to allegedly create outrage in Russian society and accuse Ukraine of genocide. The Washington Post reports that the plan of Russian special services is at the final stage, and victims among the civilians can be real. The representative of the State Department said that the United States announced Russian plans to disrupt them.
Earlier, the White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki reported that the United States has information that indicates the preparation of provocations using specially trained operatives to create a preposition for a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Washington does not exclude that the Russian operation can begin in February.
Press Secretary of Russian President Vladimir Putin Dmitry Peskov commented on publication of the American media. According to him, "Materials about the invasion plans" are not published in the United States to Ukraine for the first time, but nothing followed.
In January, the Conflict Intelligence Team (CIT) investigation group found more than 30 videos on social networks, which captured the process of loading equipment into railway platforms and echelons with it moving west. On the platforms, trucks, carfiders, tanks, infantry combat vehicles, rocket lapsing and hurricane rocket systems are visible. On February 4, the founder of CIT Ruslan Leviev said that the equipment and personnel of the National Guard forces have already been located near the border of Ukraine.
- Since the fall of last year, the United States announces the concentration of the Russian military near borders with Ukraine. Western countries are talking about a real threat to the Russian invasion of a neighboring country.
- The Ukrainian authorities recognize the presence of a threat, but note that it has existed since 2014. In Kyiv, over the past weeks, they have repeatedly stated that Ukraine does not observe such a concentration of Russian forces that would testify to close invasion.
- Moscow has repeatedly denied the invasion plans, accusing the creation of tension in the US and NATO region. Information about the preparation of provocations in the Kremlin was called unfounded. At the same time, Moscow itself claimed that the fighters of a certain American PMC allegedly prepare provocations using chemicals in the Donbass, but evidence was not presented.
