“In the village of Nikolaevka, Lugansk People’s Republic, the Kyiv regime carried out another sophisticated action in order to discredit the Russian Armed Forces before the world community.
During the provocation, militants of nationalist battalions and servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine fired artillery at residential buildings, as a result of which there are dead and wounded among the civilian population,” he said.
According to Mizintsev, The New York Times reporters and Ukrainian journalists accompanying the nationalists filmed this provocation.
“We warn the so-called civilized West in advance that this and other fakes by the Kyiv authorities about alleged “Russian atrocities” are planned to be widely disseminated in the media and on Internet resources in the near future,” he said.
Earlier, Mizintsev said that Ukrainian servicemen were preparing a provocation in Konstantinovka, Donetsk region, according to the "Buchin" scenario.
