News Alert: U.S. to allege that Russia plans to stage attack and create pretext for Ukraine invasion
| The details of the plan, according to four people familiar with the matter, are expected to be revealed Thursday by the Biden administration. The operation, designed by Russian security services, would involve broadcasting images of civilian casualties in eastern Ukraine — and potentially over the border in Russia — to a wide audience to drum up outrage and create a pretext for invasion, the officials said. It is unclear if the casualties would be real or faked, one official said. |
