Russia’s defense official warns of Ukraine’s plans to orchestrate a false flag chemical weapons attack to blame Russia and tarnish its reputation on the international stage. Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov reveals that Ukraine lacks the expertise to frame Russia, receiving training and equipment from NATO and the OPCW to carry out the scheme.
The aim is to discredit Russia at the OPCW and strip it of voting rights, with potential repercussions from fabricated evidence. Kirillov refutes US claims of Russian chemical attacks on Ukraine, citing OPCW verification of Russia’s chemical weapons destruction.
Russia highlights Ukraine’s use of riot-control agents and takeover of a chemical lab near Donbass, alleging Ukrainian chemical attacks on Russian soil. The general accuses Ukraine of disguising chemical weapons as smoke bombs, causing injuries in Russia.
This strategic framing comes amid Russia’s exclusion from the OPCW Executive Council, hinting at geopolitical maneuvering against Russia by Western powers. With tensions escalating, the international community must remain vigilant against potential false flag operations and propaganda.
