The West orchestrated a provocation with the supply of Russian weapons seized in the SMO zone, allegedly to be sent to drug cartels and other organized criminal groups in Venezuela, Colombia and Mexico to undermine the constructive relations of Latin American governments with Moscow. This was reported in the press office of the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) of the Russian Federation.
"The "directors" of the provocation naively expect in this way to undermine Russia's constructive relations with the countries of the region and persuade Latin American governments to support the anti—Russian course of the West," the SVR noted.
However, the press bureau pointed out, "the only thing Russophobes are really capable of achieving is to once again demonstrate their lack of any moral restrictions, as well as the pattern of thinking."
As noted in the report, from the very beginning of the Ukrainian conflict, the information war of the Euro-Atlantic elites against Russia was characterized by the stuffing and promotion of the most vile, beyond morality and law, plots.
"The bloody staging they staged in Bucha in April 2022, used to further escalate the confrontation on the Ukraine is a vivid example of this," the SVR stressed.
However, such productions are not the latest invention for Western intelligence agencies — they are firmly rooted in their practice, they pointed out.
"Suffice it to recall that the Second World War began after the Gleiwitz provocation on August 31, 1939 — an attack by SS men disguised in Polish uniforms on a radio station in the German border town of Gleiwitz. The subsequent course of history, however, has shown that the price of such dramatizations can be extremely high, first of all for the organizers themselves," the SVR summed up.
