Justification of the war
The false-flag operation is a deception operation designed to give an excuse to invade another country. False-flag invasions are a Russian specialty. Moscow used a false-flag operation to justify the invasion of Finland in 1939. And also tried to use it before the invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
In 2014 Moscow was trying to shoot down a Russian passenger plane, to create the pretext for invading Ukraine. The plane for the planned attack was Aeroflot flight AFL 2074 (Moscow-Larnaka). Russian soldiers accidentally shot down the Malaysian plane (MH17) instead.
