First Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN Dmitry Polyansky. File photoUN, Feb 4Dmitry Polyansky, First Deputy Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN, on Twitter ironically drew attention to how the press secretary of the State Department, Ned Price, indiscriminately stated that Russia was allegedly planning to film a «fake» video of the Ukrainian attack, but could not provide any evidence. US authorities say that the Russian special services are allegedly planning to shoot a video that would capture a staged attack by the Ukrainian military on Russian territory or their own Russian-speaking fellow citizens — with footage of «killed», destroyed buildings, mourning people, Ukrainian weapons and Turkish-made drones. According to Washington, such a «fake» could become a pretext for Russia to start military operations against a neighboring country. Russia's Permanent Representative to the European Union Vladimir Chizhov refuted these allegations. He noted that he can assure that Russia «never does such things.»The senator called the supply of weapons by Turkey to Ukraine a provocation At a briefing on Thursday, State Department spokesman Ned Price suggested that journalists who asked him to provide evidence of US claims about Russia's alleged plans to film a «fake» video of the Ukrainian attack, take the word of the American government, and if you don't like it, look for » consolation» in Russian information. Matt Lee, a veteran of the diplomatic pool, asked for evidence. As Price explained, the allegations that have been heard from the White House, the Pentagon and the State Department all day are declassified intelligence data and nothing can be added to them so as not to compromise the sources and methods of obtaining information. He told Lee that «if you doubt the accuracy of the data of the US government, the British government, other governments and want to find solace in the information that the Russians are spreading, then the flag is in your hands.» «How rude of Matt Lee to ask a State Department official evidence to back up claims that the damned Russians are planning a false flag operation in Ukraine. How dare he? Doesn't he know the 2 rules: U.S. officials never lie. When they lie (like with weapons of mass destruction in Iraq), then this is in the name of a noble cause, see Rule 1,” Polyansky wrote.
