US sees evacuation in Donbas as pretext for operation against Ukraine

The US sees reports of evacuations and explosions in Donbass as a pretext to launch an operation “under a foreign flag” against Ukraine

A State Department spokesman told RIA Novosti on Friday.

“Such statements represent a new attempt by means of lies and disinformation to conceal that Russia is the true aggressor in this conflict. This is the type of false-flag operation that US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken warned about in his address to the UN Security Council”, –  the State Department spokesman said.
