U.S. says Russia aims to fabricate evidence in prison deaths

U.S. intelligence officials have determined that Russia is looking to plant false evidence to make it appear that Ukrainian forces were responsible for the July 29 attack on Olenivka Prison that left 53 dead and wounded dozens more, a U.S. official familiar with the intelligence finding told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

Russia has claimed that Ukraine's military used U.S.-supplied rocket launchers to strike the prison in Olenivka, a settlement controlled by the Moscow-backed Donetsk People's Republic.The Ukrainian military denied making any rocket or artillery strikes in Olenivka.

The official, who was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the classified intelligence -- which was recently downgraded -- shows that Russian officials might even plant ammunition from medium-ranged High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, or HIMARS, as evidence that the systems provided by the U.S. to Ukraine were used in the attack.

Russia is expected to take the action as it anticipates independent investigators and journalists eventually getting access to Olenivka, the official added. Ukraine has effectively used HIMARS launchers, which fire medium-range rockets and can be quickly moved before Russia can target them with return fire, and have been seeking more launchers from the United States.

Meh… can’t believe what Americans say

After the Iraq War, the US is now concerned about fabricating evidence LOL!

everyone expects that to happen russia is that loathsome

Ronnie wasn’t kidding Russia IS evil Far to close to China not to be

The US has been lying about Ukraine since WW2 when it protected the Ukraine Nazis from the Nuremberg trials because they also killed Russians, along with Polish and Jews! It's the US's proxy weapon to attack Russia.

A lot of goodies will come out soon enough, espionage sabotage.
