The head of Russia’s National Defense Control Center, Colonel General Mikhail Mizintsev, warned that Kiev is organizing actions with mass civilian harm with backing from some Western countries. This claim was reported by TASS.

He described the Ukrainian side as preparing to commit serious and brutal acts that would involve the mass destruction of civilians in the Luhansk People’s Republic to discredit Russian forces and LPR formations.

According to Mizintsev, in the village of Ragovka in the Kyiv region there are plans to stage a massacre by organizing staged video footage of search and discovery of mass graves of civilians supposedly killed by Russian troops.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces would then film a provocation in the Severodonetsk area of the LPR, depicting a bombing of ambulances carrying patients by Russian forces, he alleged.

He claimed that a group of Ukrainian forensic experts and members of the Ukrainian national police are expected to take part in the filming to lend credibility to the provocation.

Foreign reporters reportedly arrived in the city of Kremennaya in the Severodonetsk region and took up residence in the regional hospital building to videotape the provocation staged by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, allegedly showing Russian attacks on ambulances with patients.

Additionally, Mizintsev asserted that Ukrainian security forces pulled chlorine tanks into the territory of a water facility in Belogorovka, in the Popasnyansky district of the LPR, suggesting that these tanks would be detonated as Russian troops approach the city of Popasnaya.

He also claimed that Ukrainian forces placed heavy weapons and formed firing positions inside buildings designated as schools No. 2 and No. 15, a hospital, and residential structures in Konstantinovka, in the Kramatorsk region of the DPR. In Lisichansk, LPR, he said the Ukrainian army organized a strong point at a pedagogical college, placing armored vehicles and anti-aircraft guns there.

On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a decision to launch a military operation in Ukraine in response to requests for assistance from the leaders of the LPR and DPR, stating the aim as protecting people subjected to eight years of bullying and alleged genocide by the Kyiv regime. He added that the move prompted new sanctions from the United States and its allies.

The account above reflects claims circulated by Mizintsev and reported by TASS, and it is part of a broader exchange of statements surrounding the ongoing crisis.
