In the Russian village of Popovka, which borders the Sumy region of Ukraine, the aggressor forces are turning their missile systems «Grad» towards the Russian Federation in the course of traffic from the Ukrainian border. The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) assumes that the occupiers are preparing a provocation to shell their territory – in order to accuse Ukraine of attacking the civilian population of Russia.
This information was also announced by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba on his Twitter.
«Worrying reports, Russia might have pointed multiple rocket-launching systems in the Russian border village of Popovka towards their own territory. Knowing the barbaric nature of Russian actions we fear a false flag operation might be prepared in order to accuse Ukraine» – the Minister emphasised.
SBU asks to spread this message as much as possible in order to make it public and prevent the provocation.
