Russian military forces could use chemical weapons to create a 'pretext' for a major new invasion of Ukraine, according to State SecBlinken.
Russian military forces could use chemical weapons to create a"pretext" for a major new invasion of Ukraine, according to Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
“Russia plans to manufacture a pretext for its attack,” Blinken said, before outlining several possible scenarios. “It could be a fabricated so-called terrorist bombing inside Russia, the invented discovery of a mass grave, a staged drone strike against civilians, or a fake — even a real — attack using chemical weapons.”That forecast continued a trend of U.S.
Russia, which holds the rotating presidency of the Security Council this month, scheduled the session to mark the seventh anniversary of Minsk II, an agreement Moscow regards as a Ukrainian pledge to begin a process that would install Russian proxies within the Ukrainian political system and rewrite the Ukrainian constitution in terms congenial to Kremlin priorities. Blinken opted to speak at the meeting, according to U.S.
An attorney from Ukraine, who addressed the council at the apparent invitation of Russian officials, characterized Ukraine as “a colony of the collective West” under Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
