A new warning about Russia's possible use of chemical or biological weapons in Ukraine was issued by the British Ministry of Defence on Monday night.
As stated in a briefing note, Russian accusations that Ukraine intends to use chemical or biological weapons itself continue without evidence.
The British Foreign Office stresses that Russia "could possibly be planning to use chemical or biological weapons in a deception operation".
It explains that such an operation could be a fake attack, a staged "discovery" of chemical/biological agents or weapons, or fabricated evidence of alleged Ukrainian plans to use such weapons.
An attack of this kind would almost certainly be accompanied by extensive disinformation to obfuscate attribution of responsibility, the British briefing added.
Recall that security intelligence had noted that Russia was planning to use false flag operations to justify the February 24 invasion of Ukraine.
