Look Out: Chemical Weapons Attack Said Likely Soon To Occur In Kyiv
Russia spreading disinformation about US construction of WMD within embattled Ukraine
Rhetoric coming from Russia has shifted in recent days has shifted, to suggest that it's military forces carrying out Vladimir Putin's bloody incursion into Ukraine may well soon launch a chemical weapons attack in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv.
This according to multiple sources.
“U.S. concerned Russia could potentially be preparing to use chemical or biological weapons in Ukraine after the Russian Ministry of Defense said Ukraine may be planning a false flag chemical weapon attack, per administration official,” Carol Lee, of NBC News, tweeted Wednesday.
Specifically, Russian officials have begun spreading disinformation that the United States is developing chemical weapons in Ukraine.
“I'm in a background mtg now where military experts say #Putin may use chemical weapons in #Ukraine . They point to a widespread disinfo campaign claiming there are US-run labs all over Ukr, which will be cited as Putin claims the USA or Ukr released gases, not Russia. Scary,” tweeted Pulitzer Prize-winner Laurie Garrett.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki denied the allegations, while also warning that Russian use of chemical weapons would be imminent.
“Now that Russia has made these false claims, and China has seemingly endorsed this propaganda, we should all be on the lookout for Russia to possibly use chemical or biological weapons in Ukraine, or to create a false flag operation using them. It’s a clear pattern,” Psaki posted.
“Read to the end of this thread — [White House] suggests that Russia’s ‘false claims’ about biological/chemical weapons are likely a pretext for Moscow to use them in Ukraine,” wrote White House correspondent Eli Stokols.
Putin's desire to ramp up to use of weapons of mass destruction would be on course for his recent trajectory of brutally escalating his two-week-old invasion of the sovereign and democratic Ukraine, which has surprising held off the Russian invaders.
