Putin calls emergency meeting, claims 'Ukraine took hostages in Russia'

Vladimir Putin is expected to hold a meeting of his national security council today over an alleged Ukrainian sabotage group that has ‘taken hostages’ in Russia.

Unconfirmed reports from Moscow state that a group of up to 50 Ukrainians had crossed the border in the Bryansk region.

The Federal Security Service said in a statement to Russian news agencies that its own forces and the army were trying to liquidate what it described as ‘an armed group of Ukrainian nationalists’ who had infiltrated.

Some disinformation experts have already branded this as propaganda on Twitter, and a ‘possible false flag operation and disinformation campaign’ coming from the Kremlin.

Putin could have taken the opportunity to liquidate any Russian soldiers he had his doubts about.

Hoping Russia begins to see real destruction on their side of the border. I was disappointed that the Kerch bridge was only lightly damaged. Should have been destroyed.
