“In the area of the Odessa port of Yuzhny, the special services of Ukraine are planning a provocation using toxic chemicals to accuse Russian troops of allegedly delivering strikes on civilian infrastructure,” he said.
Mizintsev added that the Ukrainian side could simulate a missile attack by the Russian Armed Forces on its military facility, as a result of which a nearby port cold storage plant would be blown up.
Earlier, the head of the radiation, chemical and biological defense forces of the Russian Armed Forces, Igor Kirillov, said that the US State Department was ready to fabricate evidence about the use of chemical weapons by the Russian side.
