Russia's Defense Ministry says it has intelligence from multiple sources pointing to a planned provocation by the Kiev regime designed to sabotage the upcoming Russia-US summit.

Here's the full statement by the Russian Defense Ministry:

"According to information obtained from multiple sources, the Kiev regime is preparing a provocation aimed at disrupting the Russian-American talks scheduled for August 15 of this year.

For this purpose, on Monday, August 11, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) transported a group of foreign media journalists by car to the city of Chuguyev in the Kharkov region [near the Russian border], under the pretext of 'preparing a series of reports on residents of the city in the frontline zone.'

Directly before the summit on Friday, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are planning a provocative strike using UAVs and missiles against one of the city's densely populated residential neighborhoods or a hospital, causing significant civilian casualties. The imported Western journalists are expected to 'immediately document' the incident.

As a result of this provocation by the Kiev regime, all responsibility for the strike and the civilian deaths will be placed on the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, creating a negative media backdrop and conditions for disrupting Russian-American cooperation on resolving the conflict in Ukraine.

Provocations in other settlements under the control of the Kiev regime are also possible."
