[ColonelCassad] Pentagon spokesman John Kirby claimed without evidence that Russia was allegedly preparing a pretext for an invasion of Ukraine.

The Pentagon announced Russia's alleged intention to find a pretext for invading Ukraine

As Kirby noted, the American side allegedly has information that Russia has deployed a group of operatives to "conduct an operation under a false flag."

"An operation that should look like an attack on them or Russian-speaking people in Ukraine as a justification for an invasion," he said.

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
Actually, nothing needs to be invented here. Ukraine has been attacking and killing Russian-speaking people in Donbas for 8 years. This excuse was so hard to find (no) And this pretext could (should) have been used back in 2014. And since then, almost 8 years have passed, and the attacks have not stopped. As well as the murders of Russians and Russian-speaking people who have been killed for 8 (!) years. Now, by the way, these are also attacks on Russian citizens who live in the Donbass.

What other new pretext is needed here if there is a goal to find a pretext? To kill them for 10 years for a round number? Or how much is enough?

It is quite natural that the Kremlin called all this insinuations, because if they wanted to use this pretext, they could have used it for a long time and repeatedly. It is also worth noting that in 2016, during a provocation on the border of Crimea, an FSB officer and a marine were killed. Also, quite a reinforced concrete pretext. For missile and bomb strikes, for example. And you don't have to think of anything.
