WASHINGTON, Feb 18 ― The US government normally keeps battlefield intelligence close to its chest, but by revealing the secret details of Russian military plans, it hopes to prevent an invasion of Ukraine.
With tensions rising, at the beginning of February US officials said Moscow was planning to create a graphic film of a fake Ukrainian attack on Russia, or on Russians inside Ukraine, using footage of damaged locations, “corpses” of people ostensibly killed in the attack, and actors playing mourners.“We've seen these kinds of activity by the Russians in the past and we believe it's important when we see it like this and we can to call it out,” he said.
“It could be a fabricated so-called terrorist bombing inside Russia, the invented discovery of the mass grave, a staged drone strike against civilians or a fake, or even a real attack using chemical weapons. Russia may describe this event as ethnic cleansing or a genocide,” he said, referring to a claim made by Putin on Tuesday.
“The more Washington exposes Russian actions and intentions, the fewer face-saving off-ramps Putin has,” London said.
