Russia may launch false flag chemical weapons attack to provide a pretext for Ukraine’s invasion.
The Kremlin will use a chemical agent under false flag. Russians then use dead people to make it look like the Ukrainians gassed and killed the civilians.
In December 2021, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu of Russia said chemical agents might be used in Donbas by foreign private military contractors. That was ‘pitch rolling’ for a false flag attack in Donbas, with simulated use of chemical warfare by Ukraine’s Armed Forces and their Western partners.
At the end of January 2022, the leader of puppet DPR allowed for Ukraine to use chemical weapons in Donbas. That way, he legalized possible false flag op.
After 2014, Russian forces occupying Donbas have studied ‘chemical and radiation hazardous facilities’ there, and identified those facilities as possible targets, with impact zones calculated in case they are damaged or destroyed. Shoigu’s report mentioned Avdiivka and Krasny Lyman. By that time, it meant that possible targets for attack or sabotage by Russian armed forces or their proxies in the region were:
1. Starokrymska filter station by Water of Donbas in Mariupol, using hazardous chemicals: chlorine – 184 tons, ammonia – 111 tons, benzene – more than 2 thousand tons, sulfuric and hydrochloric acids (more than 16 thousand tons and 547 tons), as well as chlorosilane – 57 tons, polyisocyanate – 1.4 tons. Should accident happen, the Russians say, chemical contamination zone would cover 4,072 sq km, with 180 population centers (including 13 cities: Avdiivka, Artemivsk, Dimitrov, Dobropilla, Druzhkivka, Kostiantynivka, Kramatorsk, Krasny Lyman, Mariupol, Pokrovsk, Slavyansk, Toretsk, Vuhledar) and 1 million 86 thousand people.
As of February 18, however, a false flag chemical attack is likely to be staged in Horlivka, with ammonia storage tanks at Stirol plant. It resumed production in November 2021, that is why there are more tanks with ammonia there.
Aside from that, the list of possible targets for Russia’s false flag attack includes Inkor and K R&D Phenolic Plant, near the city of Toretsk. If damaged, chemical contamination zone will cover more than 115 sq km, with depth of 6 kilometers.
Russian false flag attack is likely to include both remote detonation (mine laying) and artillery shelling, as a simulated strike by Ukrainian government forces, with Russian Foreign Ministry bringing public accusation against Washington, as a global power supporting Ukraine.
