Maria Zakharova, during her weekly briefing at the Foreign Ministry yesterday, singled out Ukraine’s terror operation, designed to silence Americans opposed to the continued flood of weapons to Ukraine: “The tone is set by the Zelensky regime, whose representatives openly threaten Americans who oppose financial support for the Kiev regime. Information about these individuals is posted on the notorious ‘Mirotvorets’...website...as ‘enemies of Ukraine. They are seen by Banderites as criminals, with corresponding verdicts handed down. Such publications have already appeared in the media, but no one in Europe or overseas seems to care.”
She also made a point of mentioning the Russian investigation into the British involvement in the Bucha provocation in March of 2022. She noted that Moscow is getting no cooperation from the UN and that London is stonewalling any inquiries. “In April 2022, when chairing the UN Security Council, it refused to convene a Security Council meeting on the events in Bucha,” she said. “This says a lot. First of all, that London is hiding the truth about those events. Why? Because it was directly involved in them.”
“We are well aware of the active participation of British think tanks and PR firms (that provide cover for British intelligence) in the disinformation campaigns of the Kiev regime,” Zakharova concluded. “For our part, we continue to monitor these activities and add the leaders of the most aggressive British propaganda outlets to the Russian counter-sanctions list.”
Zakharova also charged that Ukraine’s Western allies helped plan and conduct last week’s missile strike on the Black Sea Fleet’s headquarters. “There is no doubt that the attack had been planned in advance using Western intelligence means, NATO satellite assets and reconnaissance planes and was implemented upon the advice of American and British security agencies and in close coordination with them,” reported AP.
A check of the flightradar224 flight tracking website for Sept. 22, the day of the attack, revealed the presence of a Global Hawk reconnaissance drone over the Black Sea south of Crimea, though, of course, it’s not possible to confirm whether or not it was providing real time intelligence in support of the Ukrainian strike.
