Russia: Ukraine plotting to stir ethnic tensions

The Security Service of Ukraine is preparing to use the current contradictions between Russia and Azerbaijan to incite hatred on national grounds.

1news.media reports that this was stated by the spokeswoman of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.

“According to the information we have, the Security Service of Ukraine intends to use the current contradictions between Russia and Azerbaijan to incite hatred and hostility on national grounds. In particular, we are aware of plans to carry out provocations against Azerbaijani citizens, representations, and cultural objects under the Russian flag in exchange for a reward for those who leave Russia. The idea is that if such provocations are successfully carried out, information about some kind of Russian aggression will be spread in the Azerbaijani, Turkish, and European media space,” she said.
