UK intelligence experts are concerned that Russia will use “fabricated” claims regarding chemical weapons in Ukraine to move forward with a “false-flag operation.”

The UK Ministry of Defence said in a March 14 report that “Russian accusations that Ukraine intends to use chemical and biological weapons continue” but officials noted that they have “seen no evidence to support these accusations.”
