(Tasnim) - Russia rejected on Friday the United States' claims that it is plotting a false flag operation to justify an attack on Ukraine.
The Pentagon and the State Department on Thursday accused Russia of planning to stage a “fake attack” by Ukrainian forces on Russian-speaking people accompanied by “a very graphic propaganda video.” When pressed for evidence, State Department spokesman Ned Price said it was “confident” in its intelligence but provided no other proof.
“I’d recommend not to take anyone’s word for it, especially the State Department, when it comes to these issues,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called the US claims “nonsense.”
"The delusional nature of such fabrications — and there are more and more of them every day — is obvious to any more or less experienced political scientist," he said in televised remarks, the Moscow Times reported.
Meanwhile, pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine accused US, British and Estonian media outlets of preparing fake stories to “demonstrate Russian aggression to the Western community,” the Russian state-run RIA Novosti news agency reported.
