SVR once again spreads fakes about an alleged “London provocation”
The russian foreign intelligence service (SVR) is once again spreading fake stories about an alleged “London provocation.”
russia’s SVR claimed that the United Kingdom is supposedly preparing a sabotage attack against Ukrainian or foreign vessels to blame moscow.
According to the SVR, “russian defectors” allegedly trained in the UK are to take part in the attack.
Such statements are yet another example of kremlin propaganda that has nothing to do with reality. The SVR regularly spreads similar fakes to create an informational alibi in case of its own provocations or new terrorist acts.
The goal is to justify russia’s aggressive actions, discredit Ukraine’s allies, and shape the image of a “strong russia” supposedly fighting the entire West.
Meanwhile, it is russia that stands behind a series of sabotage operations in EU and NATO countries, particularly in the Baltic Sea.
Earlier, the Center had already reported on another SVR fake about the UK allegedly “preparing provocations against a russian tanker.” Like all other SVR “predictions,” this one also never came true.
