Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) issued a statement on Tuesday claiming that Ukraine is planning a false flag attack in the European Union. Moscow says this planned attack involves a Ukrainian “sabotage group” going to Poland posing as Russian and Belarusian special forces for the purpose of “drawing European NATO countries into armed conflict with Moscow.”
“Kiev expects to prompt European countries to respond to Russia as harshly as possible, preferably in a military manner,” the SVR said.
After the drone fiasco of last week, “such an event should leave no doubt in the minds of the Poles and other ordinary Europeans that Moscow and Minsk stand behind all the hostile actions.”
According to the SVR, the false flag event will culminate in “the ‘detection and neutralization’ of the group by the security forces of Poland, its members are expected to appear before the media and give confessions, implicating Russia and Belarus in attempts to destabilize the situation in Poland.”
“Another provocation is currently being worked out [by the government of Vladimir Zelensky and would revolve around] a sabotage and reconnaissance group deployed into Polish territory and allegedly consisting of special forces servicemen from Russia and Belarus,” the SVR statement said.
The false flag is allegedly being prepared by Ukraine’s military intelligence (GUR) and Polish spy agencies. The Russian spy agency said that the men who will carry out this possible attack have already been selected. They were chosen from the ranks of the Freedom of Russia Legion and the Belarusian Kastus Kalinouski Regiment. Both these military groups have been fighting for Kiev in the Ukraine war.
A false flag is a real event with a fake narrative, such as 9/11 or the Oklahoma City bombing.
