The Zelensky regimes seeks to draw NATO into open conflict.
On Tuesday, Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) denounced that Ukraine is planning a provocation operation on European territory. The Ukrainian plan aims to involve NATO countries in an open conflict with Russia.

In coordination with foreign intelligence services, the government of President Volodymyr Zelensky is preparing to send a sabotage group into Poland, the SVR stated.
Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) of the Ministry of Defense, together with Polish intelligence, devised the plan. The provocation would be carried out by sabotage and reconnaissance groups allegedly made up of Russian and Belarusian special forces.
In reality, however, the operation would be carried out by militants from the Freedom of Russia Legion — a group banned as a terrorist organization in Russia that fights alongside Ukraine — and the Belarusian Kalinovsky Regiment, designated as a terrorist organization by Belarus.
The Ukrainian plan includes simulated attacks on critical Polish infrastructure “to stir public anger,” the SVR argued, recalling that such actions fit into the logic of “hybrid warfare,” in which perception management and covert operations become key tools.
These kinds of provocations are not new. In recent weeks, drone incidents in Polish and Romanian airspace have been attributed to Moscow, although conclusive evidence has not been presented.
Reporting on the Ukrainian plan, Russia Today recalled that “Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk claimed on Monday that the Ukraine conflict was ‘our war’ and urged Western Europe to mobilize against Russia.”
On this regard, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov clearly warned last week that his country would respond with “a resolute response” to any external aggression.
