Russia preparing to shell its own cities to accuse Ukraine and declare general mobilization
The relevant statement was made by the Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine on Facebook, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
“According to the Kremlin leadership’s plan, this will be used as a basis for declaring general mobilization in Russia. Considering the actions of the Russian army in Ukraine, provocations in Russian cities will be accompanied by numerous casualties among civilians to create a ‘nice’ picture,” the report states.
Similar scenarios were used by Russia as a pretext for hostilities in Afghanistan, Chechnya and Abkhazia.
A reminder that the Kremlin is planning to involve the forcibly mobilized residents of the certain areas of Donetsk Region and Luhansk Region (CADLR) in provocations in southern Ukraine.
