Former Lieutenant Colonel of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) Vasily Prozorov said that the provocation of Kiev with chemical weapons in Donbass could be carried out in a place with a mass gathering of people. His words are reported by RIA Novosti.
“The object of chemical provocation in Donbass can be a school or a social facility,” Prozorov said. The provocation will take place according to the scenario of “White Helmets” in Syria, and Russia, LPR and DPR will be blamed for everything, the former lieutenant colonel believes.
Earlier, the head of the self-proclaimed Donetsk Republic (DPR) Denis Pushilin announced the presence of chemical weapons in Ukraine. “According to our intelligence, chemical weapons are already present on the territory of Ukraine. Whether it will be used or not is a matter of time. I really hope that the coverage in the media, the appeals will take effect, and Ukraine will not take this very serious illegal step, “said Pushilin.
On December 21, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, at an expanded meeting of the Defense Ministry board with the participation of President Vladimir Putin, said that US private military companies were preparing a provocation with chemical components in eastern Ukraine. According to the head of the Russian Defense Ministry, about 120 representatives of private military companies from the United States are already in Ukraine.
