Ukrainian intelligence agencies are planning to detonate a vessel in the Baltic Sea and shift the blame onto Russia, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) stated on February 11.
According to the SVR press bureau, the plan involves using Russian-made naval mines that Ukraine possesses to stage an explosion of a foreign vessel in Baltic waters. The incident would then be attributed to Russia.
Western and Ukrainian intelligence agencies believe that such an operation could pressure NATO leadership into restricting Russia’s access to the Baltic Sea under the pretext of ensuring maritime security.
The report also states that, with Western backing, Ukrainian intelligence is preparing a series of high-profile provocations against Russia in the near future.
“Kiev’s goal is to draw NATO countries into a direct military conflict with Russia,” the SVR emphasized.
