Nato’s Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg says Russia might use a false-flag attack to justify using force against Ukraine.
“We are concerned that Russia is trying to stage a pretext for an armed attack against Ukraine,” he told a press conference in Brussels.
“Russia has amassed the biggest force we’ve seen in Europe for decades in and around Ukraine. There are many Russian intelligence officers stationed in Ukraine. We have seen attempts to stage pretext, false-flag operations to provide an excuse for invading Ukraine.”
A false-flag attack is where one side stages or fabricates an attack against it in order to justify the use of force in retaliation.
Stoltenberg concluded: “We continue to call on Russia to de-escalate, withdraw forces, and engage in dialogue.”
