“According to our intelligence, in order to divert attention from the Ukrainian S-300 anti-aircraft missile attack on Poland, the Kyiv regime is preparing a high-profile provocation to accuse Russia of allegedly destroying a regional hospital,” he said.

Filiponenko noted that the shelling is scheduled for November 17 from the area of ​​​​the village of Khatnoe. 

Foreign and Ukrainian journalists are expected to arrive to cover the results of the provocation.
