USA: “Russia is preparing to create a pretext to invade Ukraine”
The dialogue ended without agreements and now Russia is moving to take action. According to American media, Russia has begun moving tanks, infantry combat vehicles, rocket launchers and other military equipment from its bases in the far east to the west. The Wall Street Journal writes it, citing US sources and news that appeared on social media. While assets and materials are in transit, executives and analysts debate whether the move represents the next phase in Russian military build-up ahead of a blitz in Ukraine or a Kremlin tactic to keep the West under pressure by using it as leverage in negotiations.
Ready a false flag operation to lead to the invasion
Not only. According to a senior official of the Biden administration, quoted by CNN, Moscow has infiltrated saboteurs in the eastern regions of Ukraine, with the aim of causing an accident that gives it an excuse to invade the country. Reports Repubblica: “Russia – revealed the source – is laying the foundations for having the possibility of fabricating a pretext for the invasion, including through sabotage activities and disinformation operations, accusing Kiev of preparing an imminent attack against Russian forces in eastern Ukraine »”.
And again: “Russia has pre-positioned a group of agents to conduct a false flag operation in eastern Ukraine. They are trained in urban warfare and the use of explosives, to carry out acts of sabotage against the same proxy forces as Russia. “. On the other hand, Il Foglio recalls, just yesterday “a cyber attack blocked various Ukrainian institutional sites for a few hours, some of them had a message inviting citizens to prepare for the worst. For the moment, the Kiev authorities have not said that the Moscow is to blame but they recalled that the history of Russian hacker attacks in Ukraine is very long “.
