SBU warns of possible provocations in Donetsk – chemical tank explosions

Russian occupiers are distributing gas masks between local militants and the Russian military in the temporarily occupied city of Donetsk.

The relevant statement was made by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) on Telegram, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

According to the SBU, there is a high probability of provocations, such as chemical tank explosions.

“We have intelligence information from the temporarily occupied city of Donetsk. There, Russian occupiers are distributing gas masks between local militants and the Russian military. There is a probability of provocations, such as chemical tank explosions. They are planning to accuse the Ukrainian military of this sabotage attack against civilians,” the report states.

The SBU stressed that, unlike Russian occupiers, Ukraine does not use such methods.

“We are calling on Ukrainian citizens staying within the temporarily occupied territory to keep alert,” the SBU noted.

A reminder that, in the morning of February 24, 2022, Russia carried out missile strikes against Ukraine and started a war.
