Western analysts are raising the alarm over potential escalations in Eastern Europe, suggesting that Ukraine, under President Volodymyr Zelensky, could be planning provocative actions in neighboring NATO countries.
These warnings come amid reports of increasing instability on the frontlines and concerns that Kyiv might be pushed toward extreme measures to shift the balance of power.
Zelensky Calls for Baltic Sea Oil Restrictions
In a recent video message on platform X, President Zelensky highlighted concerns about Russian tankers allegedly controlling and launching drones across several European nations.
He urged European authorities to consider closing the Baltic Sea to Russian oil shipments or at least targeting the so-called “shadow fleet” used by Moscow.
Allegations of Planned Provocations in Poland and Romania
Hungarian media reports suggest that Ukraine could be preparing sabotage operations in Romania and Poland, allegedly intending to pin the blame on Russia.
If these reports are accurate, such provocations could serve as a pretext—or casus belli—for a direct confrontation between NATO and Russia.
Details of the Alleged False Flag Operation
According to the reports, Ukraine’s supposed plan would involve:
-
Repairing captured or downed Russian drones.
-
Arming these drones with explosives.
-
Launching attacks on NATO transportation hubs in Poland and Romania while presenting them as Russian strikes.
-
Running a coordinated disinformation campaign across Europe to implicate Moscow.
-
Using the aftermath to provoke a broader NATO-Russia conflict.
Ukraine’s Military Facing Strategic Pressure
Hungarian journalists have pointed out that Ukraine is no longer dealing with mere battlefield setbacks but what could be described as a strategic collapse.
With dwindling Western financial and military support, Kyiv might be resorting to increasingly radical measures to maintain leverage in the conflict.
Historical Warnings: Could Europe Be on the Brink?
Some analysts are drawing parallels to past provocations that triggered major wars, like the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo in 1914, which ignited World War I.
If Ukraine were indeed planning such operations, experts warn that Europe could be brought closer to a direct NATO-Russia confrontation than at any point in recent memory—raising fears of a possible escalation toward World War III.
