烏克蘭軍隊譴責對斯坦尼察-盧甘斯克鎮(Stanitsa Lugansk)的襲擊,這次襲擊在一個幼兒園的牆上炸出一個洞,並導致半個鎮子停電。 這起炮擊事件再次引發有關對俄羅斯即將入侵烏克蘭的擔憂。
歐安組織的觀察人士報告說,僅星期六一天,烏克蘭東部就發生了1500多次違反停火協議的事件,這是今年最高的單日數字。
拜登譴責俄羅斯支持的戰鬥人員炮擊幼兒園事件,但是,莫斯科卻宣稱炮擊是烏克蘭所為。拜登還指出莫斯科向公眾兜售的其他虛假信息,包括聲稱在頓巴斯發生種族滅絕,以及烏克蘭對俄羅斯的襲擊。
“所有這些都跟俄羅斯人此前使用的劇本一致,為他們對烏克蘭采取行動提供虛假理由,”拜登說。幾個星期以來,拜登政府一直在警告人們俄羅斯的借口場景和“假旗行動”。
美國國務院發言人在慕尼黑安全會議期間,就烏東親俄武裝宣布撤走平民到俄羅斯表示,這是利用平民試圖轉移國際社會對俄羅斯在烏克蘭邊境集結軍隊準備發達攻擊的關注,此舉"厚顏無恥”、“旨在進一步通過謊言和錯誤信息掩蓋俄羅斯是這場衝突中的侵略者的事實。”

They say an attack on a Ukrainian kindergarten was a "false-flag operation" designed to create a pretext for invasion.@andybell5news | #5News pic.twitter.com/J1wipdz57B
This attack, as with so many others, is a heinous Russian violation of the Minsk Agreements and again demonstrates Russia’s disregard for Ukrainian civilians on both sides of the line of contact.(2/2)

We are aware that Russia is intent on creating a pretext to justify an invasion into Ukraine. Therefore, we must resolutely rebut the false narrative about a Ukrainian “escalation,” which finds no evidence whatsoever in the reports of the @OSCE_SMM.*****RjADUSHitI

Russia’s claim of genocide in Ukraine is a reprehensible falsehood. The SMM has complete access to the government controlled areas of Ukraine and HAS NEVER reported anything remotely resembling Russia’s claims. Read the publicly available reports. *****0KczWsQoEJ

This abuse of the population Russia claims to be protecting would be shameful enough on its own, but as a trigger for war it would be worse.

Poland did not start the war in 1939. Ukraine is not attacking Russia or it’s own people. Dictators lie. *****qyweChUdxu
In Donetsk, local residents very confused and angry about the forced evacuation. Many say nothing is actually happening. What you see is staged. *****AeoSnQom3i

Well some misinformation from Ria Novosti, there is footages of an explosion they claim is I quote " gas pipeline Drujba (Friendhip". But 1) Drujba pipeline is an oil pipeline 2) it does not crosses Luhansk. But there is a gas pipeline that crosses Luhansk from Rostov. *****13pGbzsV1W pic.twitter.com/gCGpunRMgW
