Russia Claims West is Planning an Anti-Russian False-Flag Operation in Latin America

The press office of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) reported on Monday that, based on data obtained from the special services of a Western country, acting in coordination with their "Ukrainian lackeys," an anti-Russian false-flag operation is being orchestrated in Latin America.

According to the report, the operation's objective is to accuse Russia of illegally supplying weapons to drug cartels and organized crime groups in Venezuela, Colombia, and Mexico. The report details that Russian-made weapons—seized during the special military operation—are already being transported to the aforementioned countries.

Furthermore, the report notes that fake audio and video materials are being prepared to "confirm" that Russia is making "deliveries" of these weapons to criminal groups in these Latin American countries via intermediaries. Additionally, forged documentation is being created to implicate representatives of the Russian Armed Forces, thereby lending greater "credibility" to this "transaction."

The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service concludes that the ultimate goal of this "provocation" is to undermine "Russia's constructive relations with the countries of this region," with the aim of getting Latin American governments to align with and support the anti-Russian policies driven by the collective West.

Separately, the SVR noted that since the onset of the Ukrainian conflict, Russia has been the target of an information war led by "Euro-Atlantic elites." This war is characterized by the "leaking and promotion of the most abominable falsehoods, beyond the bounds of morality and law," and notably included the staging of the Bucha massacre in 2022—at the start of the special military operation—which the collective West used "to further escalate the confrontation in Ukraine." Furthermore, Russian intelligence emphasizes that such practices by Western intelligence agencies are nothing new—having long been “firmly rooted in their strategy”—and recalled that the Second World War began following the Gleiwitz provocation of August 31, 1939, when SS members disguised in Polish uniforms targeted a radio station in a German border town.

The report concludes by stating: “The subsequent course of history, however, demonstrated that the price of such attacks can be extremely high, especially for the organizers themselves.”
