Igor Kirillov, head of the radiation, chemical and biological defense forces, said such a plan was a reaction to Russia’s success in the special operation. TASS writes about it.
«The Russian Ministry of Defense has information that the United States of America prepared a provocation to accuse the Russian armed forces of using chemical, biological or tactical nuclear weapons,» said Kirillov.
According to the head of the RKhBZ divisions, such a plan is a reaction to the successes of the Russian Federation in the special operation. «Only in March-April this year, Western leaders regularly make provocative statements about the possibility of Russia using weapons of mass destruction,» he said.
Kirilllov recalled that on February 27, the Permanent Representative of the United States to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, announced the intention of the Russian Federation to use chemical and biological weapons «under a false flag» to intimidate the Ukrainian people and the world. In turn, the US State Department considered transferring up to 400,000 to Ukraine. PPE kits, 390 reconnaissance equipment and 15 Stryker reconnaissance vehicles.
“We draw attention to the fact that such projects have been implemented by the United States more than once to achieve political goals. The most striking example of information provocation is the speech of US Secretary of State Colin Powell on February 5, 2003. A test tube with «washing powder» in his hands was a pretext for the invasion of Iraq and the death of almost half a million citizens, «Kirillov emphasized.
As an example, he also cited the provocation of the alleged use of sarin in Syria in 2017, which led to a rocket attack on Shairat airport in Syria, and alleged chlorine in Barz and Jamrai in 2018. “And only the testimonies of eyewitnesses of these events, brought by the Russian Federation to The Hague, opened the eyes of the world community to what was happening. Until now, no one has been held responsible for these provocations, ”added Kirillov.
