The statement was given by a high-ranking US government official.

The Biden Administration believes that Russia is fabricating Ukrainian provocations on social media and preparing possible sabotage operations against Russian forces to justify an intervention and sow divisions in Ukraine, according to a US official who asked not to be identified.

The President’s Government Vladimir Putin is laying the groundwork to justify an attack, including through sabotage activities and information operations, by accusing Ukraine of preparing offensive operations, according to the person.

The plan is likely to be put into motion if diplomacy fails with U.S, NATO and key European nations, according to the official.

The news follows a cyberattack that brought down a wide range of Ukrainian government websites on Friday.
