Associated Press Reporter Questions State Department On Its Claim That Russia Could Use Fake Attack To Invade Ukraine: Pentagon
US Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said Thursday Russia could stage a fake attack by Ukrainian forces on Russian territory or people to justify its actions near Ukraine’s border.
Veteran Associated Press reporter Matt Lee grilled a US State Department spokesperson over the U.S. government’s refusal to provide direct evidence.
Invoking the government’s false propaganda that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, which led to the 2003 US invasion of the country, Lee said he has every reason to be skeptical of the US government’s assertions.
The New York Times reported earlier that the U.S. obtained intelligence about a Russian plan to spread a fake video to bolster its disinformation campaigns.
