RESPONSE
Recurrent Pro-Kremlin disinformation about an alleged false flag chemical attack to pretend that Russia in endangering the life of civilians in Ukraine. This narrative targets Ukrainian forces and free international media reporting about Russian military actions in Ukraine.
It has been documented that Russia using low precision weapons in Ukraine both because of a lack of high precision arms and to terrorize local populations. There is no need for Ukraine on the 152th day of war to do a false flag operation to hurt the image of Russia: war crimes and massive disinformation are already common practice for pro-Kremlin forces.
There is no evidence to back the claim that Ukraine is 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.
