Ministry of Defense of Russian Federation stated that Armed Forces of Ukraine are preparing "chemical attack" in Sumy region in order to discredit Russia on international stage
The Russian Ministry of Defense said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are allegedly preparing a provocation with the use of "chemical weapons" in the Sumy region, aimed at discrediting the Russian Federation on the international stage.
This is reported by Censor.NET with reference to the Telegram channel of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
"According to data confirmed by several independent sources, a large-scale provocation aimed at discrediting the Russian Federation in the international arena is being prepared under the leadership of the office of the President of Ukraine.
To divert the attention of the international public from the facts of numerous war crimes published by the UN, committed by servicemen of the Ukrainian army and militants of nationalist formations, the Kyiv regime has planned a special information campaign.
For its implementation, during the last two weeks, an area of "the frontline of the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the line of combat with Russian troops" was allegedly prepared in the settlement of Okhtyrka, Sumy region.
It is planned to deliver the bodies and remains of dead Ukrainian servicemen, whose death allegedly occurred as a result of being hit by "Russian" artillery ammunition equipped with "poisonous substances" from the morgues to the equipped pseudo-positions.
The Kyiv regime plans to treat this area and the remains of Ukrainian servicemen with a poisonous substance. This will allow invited experts from Western countries, who are currently on the territory of Ukraine, to document the alleged "use of chemical weapons" by the Russian armed forces, the report says.
According to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, to make the provocation more plausible, the special services of Ukraine were instructed to prepare and publish on social networks fake radio intercepts of alleged discussions by Russian servicemen about preparations for the use of "chemical weapons", as well as fabricated orders for obtaining special ammunition for MLRS installations.
"According to the plan of the Kyiv regime, this provocation will allow the Western media to launch another media campaign to discredit the Russian Federation, in particular, to try to initiate a meeting of the UN Security Council with relevant accusations of the Russian side," added the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
