The Russian Defence Ministry held briefing on a provocation against the Russian Federation prepared by the USA and NATO with the accusation of using nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. Three scenarios are planned for the Russian Federation accusation:
The first one is a ‘staged incident under a false flag’ that is the most probable. This could include a real use of chemical and biological weapons that would cause deaths among the population or staging ‘sabotages’ from Russia at the facilities of Ukraine involved in the development of components for weapons of mass destruction.
The second one refers to a ‘Maximally covert use of weapons of mass destruction in small volumes’ for neutralising the will power and the capacity to resist within the fulfilment of a particular operational task. This scenario was supposed to be implemented in Azovstal.
The third and the least probable one is the ‘overt use of weapons of mass destruction at a combat area’ in case of failure to succeed in using conventional armaments in the combat zone. This scenario was considered for Slavyansk and Kramatorsk that had been transformed into fortified towns.
According to reliable information, on the eve of the Easter holiday, the Kiev regime is preparing provocations to discredit the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate.
