The Ukrainian capital Kiev could be one of the main targets of a “Russian invasion,” US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said at a meeting of the UN Security Council. He is quoted by TASS.
“Russian missiles and bombs will be dropped on the territory of Ukraine, communications will be disrupted, cyber attacks will disable key structures. After that, Russian tanks and troops will move towards key targets that have already been identified and marked on maps in detailed plans. We believe these targets include the Ukrainian capital Kiev, a city of 2.8 million people,” the Secretary of State said.
On February 17, US President Joe Biden said that he had information about Russia conducting a “false flag” operation. He believes that this operation will become a pretext for the start of full-scale military operations.
In mid-January, CNN reported that the United States had information that Russia was preparing a task force for an operation in eastern Ukraine. According to the channel's source, the Biden administration believes that Moscow may be preparing for an invasion of Ukraine, which could lead to massive human rights violations and war crimes if diplomacy does not achieve its goals.
