According to the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), the Ukrainian government is preparing a new high-profile provocation designed to drag European countries into a military conflict with Russia.

This time, the operation is reportedly focused on a staged event involving a sabotage and reconnaissance group allegedly dropped onto Polish territory. The group is said to consist of soldiers from Russian and Belarusian special forces.

The SVR emphasized that the goal of this provocation is to create a narrative of Russia «escalating» the conflict. Intelligence sources suggest the plan has been developed by Ukrainian and Polish intelligence agencies.

The SVR does not rule out the possibility that the operation may involve the staged attack on critical infrastructure targets in Poland, intended to provoke significant public outcry in the West.
