File photoWASHINGTON, Feb. 4The Russian Embassy in Washington, in response to the US allegations that the Russian Federation was allegedly preparing a «fake» video to justify the «invasion of Ukraine,» said on Facebook that the world community remembers American forgery to launch interventions around the world, including «Colin Powell's test tube.» Presenting no evidence, US authorities claim that Russian intelligence agencies allegedly plan 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. 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.» «We are not surprised by the emergence of a new» creative «script, announced by the press secretaries of the State Department and the Pentagon on February 3, about Russia's allegedly preparing an operation against Ukraine under a» foreign flag » «This is typical of the United States. The international community remembers on the basis of what forgery the Americans carried out military interventions around the world, including the well-known test tube of C. Powell,» the embassy said in a statement. The UN said it had received information about Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein's alleged biological weapons technology. As proof, he showed a test tube with white powder, which he presented as a sample of weapons of mass destruction produced in Iraq. Later it turned out that Powell was misinformed by the CIA: the test tubes turned out to be fake.
