The U.S. claims to have information indicating that Russia is considering staging a "fabricated attack" by Ukrainian forces in order to justify an invasion of Ukraine

Remember when Russia then proceeded to invade Ukraine with no justification?

Oh right, that's still happening.

Remember when Russia then proceeded to invade Ukraine with no justification?

The proximate justification was several days of escalating artillery fire on Donbas. Whether you approve of that justification or not, it is not "no" justification and it was not a false flag. It also highlights how unnecessary it would be to stage a false flag because Ukraine had been doing that kind of thing for 8 years. Zelensky wasn't about to call off Azov any time soon.

Ah, you mean when Ukrainian forces were shelling Russian forces because the Russians were shelling civilians before the full-scale invasion started.

Ukraine's artillery was targeting military positions - Russian artillery - while Russia, he said, was also targeting towns and cities.
