"Radical Ukrainian groups," controlled by United States special services, have prepared several acts of provocation with "toxic chemicals" to try to pin the blame on Moscow for allegedly using "chemical weapons against the civil population," the Russian Foreign Ministry claimed on Friday.
Ukrainian radicals "are planning diversion at one of the Ukrainian companies in the chemical industry involving the destruction of large-volume containers holding industrial chemicals," as well as "the destruction of containers with toxic chemicals in highly populated areas," Russia also said.
Earlier this week, "Ukrainian nationalists brought in 80 tonnes of ammonium" to a settlement northwest of Kharkov, pointing to "preparations for the use of toxic chemicals," Moscow noted, adding that "in light of the propaganda campaign underway in Western countries, there is no doubt" that they will attempt "to accuse Russia of the use of chemical weapons."
