Iran Press/Europe: Earlier in the day, Russia's Nuclear, Chemical and Biological Protection Troops warned that the US and its Ukrainian client partners state may stage chemical, biological, or even nuclear false flag incidents to try to turn Russia into a pariah state in the eyes of the international community.
Ukraine's security services are plotting a provocation in the southwestern port city of Odesa to accuse the Russian military of deliberate attacks against civilian targets, National Defence Control Center chief Mikhail Mizintsev has announced, according to Sputnik News.
"In the area of the Odessa port of Yuzhnyi, the Ukrainian security services are planning a provocation using toxic chemicals to accuse Russian forces of striking civilian infrastructure. The most likely scenario for the fake is an immitation of a Russian missile strike against the Ukrainian Navy's Western Naval Base, resulting in the destruction of the port's cold storage plant, located 500 meters from the military facility," Mizintsev said in a briefing Saturday.
The officer specified that a 10-tonne tank of ammonia was delivered to the Odesa port on 18 April, with law enforcement and the security services issued with personal protective equipment.
The Russian military has established an 80 nautical mile-long, three nautical mile-wide humanitarian corridor through which commercial vessels can safely operate, broadcasting information on the corridor every 15 minutes via VHF frequencies in English and Russian, with the strip itself operational between 8 am and 7 pm daily. However, "the authorities in Kyiv continue to evade interaction with the representatives of states and ship-owning companies to resolve the issue of the safe exit of foreign ships to the [corridor's] assembly area," Mizintsev said.
MoD spokesman Igor Konashenkov reported earlier in the day Saturday that Russian aircraft had disabled a logistics terminal at a military airfield outside Odesa "where a large batch of foreign weapons received from the US and European countries was being stored."
