The United States has accused Russia of planning a so-called “false flag” operation in eastern Ukraine, in an attempt to create an excuse for an invasion.
The Pentagon says there is evidence Russian agents might already be in the country to carry out acts of sabotage and blame Ukraine for them.
A Kremlin spokesman has dismissed the reports as “unfounded”.
Al Jazeera’s @Mike Hanna reports from Washington, DC.

Other channels are saying the US it goading Russia into invading Ukraine. Who would be the winners if it happened ?
As long as nuclear powers have something to lose, current civilization should be OK.
Uncompromising technologically advanced inter nation conflict has limited upside. It seems it’s still being worked out.
The NeoCons (War Mongers) in the US gov’t are just itching to go to war with Russia. Profits would go through the roof! I am a natural born American citizen. The ordinary citizen does not want war with Russia or anyone else. Most of us believe it is an issue between Russia and Ukraine. The US Gov’t and NATO are threatening Russia with weapons systems in Poland and Romania. NATO is the salesman for defense contractors. To us this is Science Fiction but to the defense contractors it is a way of life: Ferengi Rule of Acquisition #34 “War is good for business”
Have you seen Russia playing this media circus before the invasion? They always invade first then talk later.
Americans are the most warmonger people.
Land of the BRAINLESS HOME OF THE COWARDLY TERRORISTS 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
EEUU: The dark Empire. The Sith Pentagon
dont invade, kill all my enemies
US official?
What is US doing there,? Already invaded Ukraine!
Thanks Captain Obvious!
I’m from Tunisia but I live in Ukraine what should I do leave or watch and die
USA and Israel are king when it comes to false flags
Yes, they also had evidence of Saddam’s nuclear weapons. We all know how that all ended!
Why is it a pretext? They have the right to protect themselves. US did so in 1962 Cuban missile crisis so why can’t the Russia do the same?
Putins destabilizing tactics? My dear Senator, you’re talking about US destabilizing tactics before they install a pro US dictator.
Russia is in agression as earlier US worried for National Security in Cuban missle war.Russia will not deal on security policy.there could be war btw big revival and china got sucees at most.
taht’s quite of sort of so terrible and also scary?
Evidence. Where is the evidence to back this claim?
How is it that no one even bother to ask if those claims are true? Putin has already stated categorically that there is no plan to invade Ukraine. Ukraine is just a diversion tactic by the US/NATO. To Russia, the main dish is NATO expansion and the stationing of offensive military assets close to its border. Ukraine is only the side dish. Could it be that Russia stationed troops there because it has credible intelligence that Zelensky is planning a military operation to regain the Donbass?
And the UD would know. They’ve been fabricating false flags, and invading countries based on fake intelligence for 70yrs
All the support to Ukrainians , they are fighting for their country and the west should help them with weapons and technology and money
Sounds like American card from book on Syria.
America will most likely attack Ukranian troops and blame it on Russia.
God bless both Ukrainian and Russian soldiers.
Russia will not invade Ukraine
0:30 how the fk would you know all that lol? You not only know the personell, but their jobs and specialties???
Dear friends. From Africa. I am kindly appealing for financial assistance of any amount. I’ve suffered liver and kidney failure and now depression. All have severely crippled my professional work. I can write, research and do data analysis in return. Please help me
Propaganda news media.
USA calling Russia out for ‘false flag’ is like calling Anthony Fauchi a doctor
UNITED STATE SHOULD DEPLOY NUCLEAR IN THE PHILIPPINES FOR CHINA
Exactly what the US and allies do in Syria inorder to attack the Syrian army. Isn’t it interesting?
See you on the Ukrainian front, bois.
This why trump needs to come back. No one was acting up
It’s over, but it doesn’t feel over. Ever have that feeling? 👩💼🇺🇲⚒️🇷🇺
I smell a Rat… Like a cheese burger in a US foul fart!
Russia prepared a pretext a long time ago, with the help of fancy Bear, and by backing the terroist revolt in the donbas region. Now They claim They have to protect the Russian population Living in the donbas region . Sure cause Russia allways has their own people in their Best interest 🤣
Who believes anything the US government says anymore??
The only thing whyte folks want to do is fight. They need their own continent so they can just fight all day and night….
İ don’t why other country invade other countries when they have not solve the problems in their country
The energy spent to invade other countries to prove superiority should be used to make your country
Human being and stupidity 🤦🤦
Acctualy we shoud trust the masters of “pretext”. They know it best since as people mentioned ( Afganistan,Syria ETC.) If a master with experience in theese things (pretext,false flags) speaks maybe they know what are they talking about
YES
CIA,, MOSSAD,, MI 6,,,,
WILL ORGANIZE,,,,,,,,,, WMD,,,, IRAK STYLE,,,,,LYBIA,,
SYRIA,, AFGHANISTAN,,, so on,,, so on……
USA,,,, THE BIG SANCTION,,, DICTATOR,,,,,,
Y siguen con er mimo cuento que ba e Nadir a Ucrania pero la otan es la que está buscando pleito con Rusia y solo acusan a Rusia yo como Rusia ya lebiadado fuego y sacar la otan de la frontera de Rusia Rusia está en sudé techo de fender la población en Rusia la otan lo que está buscando son las riquezas que tiene Rusia esoes lo que buscan todas las riquezas de rusia
You are lying. You invent the news. Americans might buy it but no one buys it in Europe. Please be serious and honest.
is comment section full with russian bots ? why every one saying that news are fake, like we dont know what russia did to georgia , even year ago they armed ukrain border allready wtf ???
USA is a toxic manipulator. Makes up the news, the facts, loves lying and as a matter of fact every single country they have aimed to help has been turn into ashes. If I were Ucraine I wouldnt get excited with nato or not nato. USA is messing around in Europe without the consent of their european alliers. Att the end of the day, if war explodes usa wont be affected by proximity. It is more convemnient for europeans to side by russia and get protection from them as the americans allies end up affecting us directly….Constant flow of war victims, etc, etc….
I would ask USA to move conflict to his country just to tastre how it feels…….
Nobody cares about Ukrainian or USA 🇺🇸 or EUROPEAN. Let us deal with our life if anyone want to invade anywhere just do it we don’t care.
Of course!…. who else but them? This happens to be their area of expertise !
А в Коране об иудеях Аллах говорит так:
«(О, Мухаммед!) Ты увидешь, что среди людей, по отношению к верующим, наиболее враждебно настроенными являются иудеи и идолопоклонники. А еще ты увидешь, что среди них (людей), по отношению к верующим, наиболее дружелюбно настроенными являются те, которые говорят: «Мы – христиане». Это потому, что среди них есть священники и монахи, и они не проявляют высокомерия» (5/82).
Putin and USA already have a deal: “ gas for Europe and do whatever you want with 🇺🇦!” We have seen this in our history, nobody gives a s*{>|!> about Ukraine! Germany and the other countries in Europe are dependent on Russian Gas!
How could she say that with a straight face 🤣😂
Russia dose not need provocation as Ukraine openly said they are ethnically cleansing Ukraine of ethnic Russian. That’s a crime under international law
Also Ukraine is in violation of the UN charter of human rights and they are targeting Russians, Hungarians and Romanians
The fall of communists.
Mother Russia is scared.
Take back whats yours Russia. You are doing the absolute right thing. Apes and pigs will squeem but you have to take back whats yours its your right.
Russia is in its territory. USA as usual everywhere.. OTAN is just a toy of USA
how you know that USA is not the one provoking the Russia using Ukraine as means?
The US should freeze Putin’s personal assets and bank accounts in the west and that of his oligarchs. It’s what they fear the most.
US war Liars, clames, official said. The United States of War.
World peace
Accuse others of what you intend to do. Has worked well in the past.
Great…. now russia has to wait ANOTHER month to start a war with Ukraine. You know it’s bad when the United States warns of a planned false flag
It’s not even an invasion, if you learn about the history of the Russian empire, you’ll realize that Crimea and the cities around there are belongs to Russia, and today, they just wanted to take it back before NATO and EU steal it.
Whute house says they are goung to invade, but they dont say when. More american lies.
I hope the common wealth dont take part of this fiasco again.
Pentagon spokesman: UHHHH UHHH RUSSIA UUUH UUUUH INTERVENTION UUUH NO MORE QUESTION
No one does false flag better than America
This is the test of the European Union and NATO. Today, the eyes of the whole world are on the European Union and NATO. Whether they will save Ukraine from the Russians or not. And will it make Ukraine a member of the European Union and NATO or not?
Funny how Al Jazeera is a middle eastern name but it’s content is very pro-western imperialist.
Saddam had WMD: US official. 😂😂
More like americans trying to force a military response from Russia using ukraine just so they have the pretext to fight Russia in the name of “democracy”.
I don’t see any evidence that Russian is really attacking Ukrainian army as well , it’s all false rumours just like Trump wants to war with Korea
let stop playing Russia’s false flags games. This olds game is old. They played this game in the pass.
That is what the US wants Russia to do so the US can stick it’s nose into post soviet bloc. In fact that is what the US been doing since the collapse of the USSR.
We know what it means when it comes from US officials.
Russia 🇷🇺 just do it and get f by Ukraine 🇺🇦
Lies, Russia is not aiming to attack anyone. All they want is to be left alone without NATO encircling them more and more every year
Just like the way US, UK and allies did to Iraq and Afghan
First u control covid in ur country
And income the american online experts from the other side of the world expertly teaching others on the topic cause they got educated on it by a meme.
Russian Bear versus American Eagle! At this point Ukraine should just join Russia in order to avoid bloodshed and violence!
Enough of western lies
US intelligence has never been wrong have they? Just another war the US will start and lose.
Are these the same dickheads who said there were WMD in Iraq?*..I wonder how such idiots sleep at night
I don’t think so russia will invade any countries. Except only US will do this . God bless putin
FALSE FLAG,,, INFLUENCE ACTORS,,,Its hilarious, Isnt that is actually what USA has been doing all along in the history,
Sure sure coming from someone who invaded Afghanistan on the same false flag and Iraq and Syria.
That tank was just circling back to it’s position nothing false about this.
Well Putin is more like Hitler than expected.
Said with a straight face, as if the US War Inc. knows anything except how to extort and export war of terror🤣
USA invades iraq kills innocent people because a bunch of Afghans were responsible for 9 11 so now they will invade and destroy some other middle eastern country because Russia has a pretext to invade Ukraine prefebly a countrt with oil to steal. If only they used that stolen oil money to give their own people health care
Its a Private war for U.S & Russian Private contractors. More like a Videogame…They all know why they are in…
Can you even believe this tripe, so we are going to trust what they say regarding a false flag….
Some people out there are hoping it kicks off with Russia, have people lost their minds?
I hope people realise the consequences of all this if it gets out of hand?
