At his September 27 press conference following the High-Level Week of the 80th UN General Assembly in New York, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov addressed Ukrainian provocations. He contended that Kyiv is preparing “false flag” operations against NATO countries, including Poland and Romania, with the goal of blaming Russia. Lavrov claimed that Western elites remain focused on inflicting a “strategic defeat” on Russia, despite shifting the terminology they use.
Lavrov asserted that the British are working at the highest levels of Kyiv and NATO’s false flag operations to provoke a direct confrontation between a single NATO nation and/or group of nations against Russia.
At the event, Lavrov is asked, “Word is out that Kyiv is plotting another provocation, this time in the EU. The plan is to attack NATO members Romania and Poland under a false flag and blame the attack on Russia. What do you think this can lead to?”
