"Their trademark." Who is behind the anti-Russian provocations in Ukraine
MOSCOW, April 15 - RIA Novosti, Andrey Kots. The West is preparing a provocation with chemical weapons in Ukraine in order to accuse the Russian army of using it, Deputy Speaker of the Federation Council Konstantin Kosachev said in an interview with RIA Novosti. He is convinced that NATO needs sabotage to denigrate Moscow in the eyes of Europeans and Americans, as well as to justify even tougher sanctions. The threat is quite real - Brussels and Washington have a lot of experience with such "staging".
"Red line"
At the end of March, US President Joe Biden admitted the possibility of direct NATO intervention in the armed conflict in Ukraine "if Russia uses chemical weapons." He was immediately played along by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Secretary General of the North Atlantic Alliance Jens Stoltenberg, saying that the use of chemical warfare agents is a "red line", followed by a "tough and proportionate response" from the West.
Of course, they did not promise to send soldiers to Ukraine, as they are well aware that a direct clash with Moscow could escalate into a nuclear war. However, Washington and Brussels need a "chemical production" to tighten sanctions and increase political and economic pressure.
“In Western countries, pressure from within is increasing every day. A situation of zugzwang is emerging, when it is necessary to adopt sanctions that will hit them themselves,” Konstantin Kosachev believes. even weapons of mass destruction could go in. Against this background, the talk of Western politicians about chemical warfare agents is of particular concern."
The chemical and bacteriological "map" for the Americans and their allies is a favorite casus belli. Secretary of State Colin Powell, speaking at the UN in February 2003, presented a test tube with "anthrax bacilli", after which the United States invaded Iraq. As a result, weapons of mass destruction were not found there. But the UN provocation cost Baghdad terrible destruction and hundreds of thousands of deaths.
Syrian lesson
Chemical weapons almost became the reason for the full-scale intervention of the United States and its allies in Syria in the summer of 2013. In August, in Eastern Ghouta (a suburb of Damascus), unknown people sprayed sarin gas - killing from 600 to 1,300 people. The Americans blamed the government of Bashar al-Assad for this and threatened to launch missile and air strikes on defense enterprises. The crisis was resolved thanks to Russian intervention: Moscow persuaded Damascus to destroy stockpiles of military chemicals under the supervision of international observers.
By 2017, all officially declared Syrian stockpiles of poisonous substances had been destroyed. However, on April 4, in the city of Khan Sheikhoun, Idlib province, a sarin release occurred - 89 victims, 550 injured. Representatives of the public organization "White Helmets", which many consider to be accomplices of the militants, told the Western media about four "unusually weak explosions" characteristic of aviation special munitions. Naturally, they blamed Assad.
Three days later, US Navy ships fired Tomahawk cruise missiles at the Shayrat air base in Syria, from which the chemical bomb planes allegedly took off. The Khan Sheikhoun incident was never investigated. The White Helmets' testimonies cannot be considered reliable, if only because these "volunteers" are by no means specialists in chemical warfare agents. But they are professional PR people who were repeatedly caught by the hand on staged shootings, forgeries and outright lies.
As, for example, in January 2018, when, according to the same White Helmets, 13 civilians, including women and minors, were injured in a chemical attack in the city of Duma in Eastern Ghouta.
As proof, the Western media published a standard video sequence: the same baby in an oxygen mask, which for some reason is held in each picture by different people (and in different interiors), and a strange ammunition with a rusty shank and a cylindrical glass in place of the warhead . It is very similar to a makeshift mortar mine, which terrorists so cleverly make, and not to a regular army-style projectile.
Nevertheless, no one in the West doubted the veracity of the White Helmets. Washington and Brussels each time referred to their fakes, increasing pressure on the Assad government.
"Collateral damage"
However, in the arsenal of the Ukrainian and NATO special services there are weapons more powerful than chemical attacks. From the very beginning of the Russian special operation, the Western media with die-hard persistence convince the audience that the "bloody Russians" are deliberately hitting residential buildings and shooting civilians in the streets. The fact that the civilian infrastructure regularly arrives from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the National Battalion, and especially the defense, is completely ignored.
There is a lot of evidence on the Web that the Armed Forces of Ukraine deliberately place artillery in residential areas and do not allow the locals to evacuate, hiding behind them like a human shield. Obviously, they were taught this by Western curators, who are accustomed to fighting in foreign countries and cynically call the loss of civilians "collateral damage." American aircraft destroyed Iraqi Mosul or Syrian Raqqa to the ground, but no one in the West called for sanctions to be announced to Washington.
Particularly indicative is the "picture" from Bucha in the Kiev region, which was widely distributed in European and American media. The militants of the terbats, who entered the city on April 3 (after Russian troops left it on March 30), suddenly found dozens of civilian corpses, mass graves, bodies with signs of torture in the basements and other horrors on the streets. Russians were immediately blamed for the atrocities.
Kramatorsk fake
However, experts immediately pointed out a number of oddities in the videos from Bucha distributed by the Ukrainian authorities. First, judging by the state of the bodies of the dead, they were killed a maximum of two days before the arrival of the Ukrainian military: no signs of decomposition. Secondly, most of the corpses were wearing white bandages - an identification mark used by the Russians. Thirdly, some of the "dead" on the video frames are moving.
Fourthly, most of the bodies are dressed in the same type of clothes and lie on a limited section of the street. Fifthly, the Ukrainian journalists who visited Bucha on April 2 did not report any massacres. And there are a lot of such inconsistencies.
“In Kyiv, they are waiting with great concern for the outcome of the battles for Donbass,” explains political scientist Andrei Suzdaltsev. “Ukraine and the United States are trying to stop the special operation with such obvious provocations. There is even competition between them: who will do it first. It is extremely important for Americans to show that the Western world dominates. And they have a common goal - to present Russia as a fiend."
Not all performances can be completed with the desired result. So, on April 8, the Armed Forces of Ukraine hit the railway station in Kramatorsk with a Tochka-U ballistic missile. More than 50 people died. Ukrainian and Western media, of course, blamed Moscow. It's just that photos of rocket fragments with a clearly distinguishable serial number leaked to the press. It turned out that this ammunition was from the Ukrainian arsenals. Then Western journalists, as if on cue, stopped mentioning Kramatorsk in their reports.
The authorities of the NATO and EU countries quite recently, by historical standards, have already used the mass death of people as a pretext for punishing "undesirables". In January 1999, the Yugoslav police raided the Kosovo village of Račak and killed 45 militants. The EU Commission recorded them as civilians. Here is the reason for the war. In the 78-day NATO air campaign, thousands died, the country was destroyed.
Western politicians, military and intelligence agencies have a very consistent strategy. If some technique, provocation or fake works, there is no doubt that it will be used again.
