This operation comes just a day after Kiev was exposed to be planning a "dirty bomb" nuclear attack on its own land to scapegoat Russia for it.

In an attempt to prolong its false-flag attack operations, the Interdepartmental Coordination Center for Humanitarian Response in Ukraine released a statement on Monday that Kiev is preparing a provocatory attack in the Kharkov Region against civilians, only to accuse Russian Armed Forces of it.  

The plan entails firing at civilians at the hands of mercenaries, as the Center said, "The Kiev regime is preparing a bloody provocation with death of their citizens for the purpose of accusing the Russian Federation of a war crime. On October 24, a unit of foreign mercenaries will shell the crowding point of civilians from artillery pieces in the city of Volchansk of the Kharkov Region during food aid distribution." 

The aim of the plan hits even lower than the malicious intention at just its surface: Ukraine wants to carry out the operation to blame Russian Forces for killing civilians, who are considered noncombatants protected under International Humanitarian Law (IHL).

According to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), civilians who do not directly partake in hostilities and conflict are protected under customary IHL set forth in Article 50 of Additional Protocol I of the Geneva Convention. They cannot be targets of attacks and neither can their identified locations such as schools, residential areas, and often frequented places pertaining to crowds. 

This plan comes after credible sources, as cited on Sunday by the Russian news agency Sputnik, stated that Kiev is preparing to use the "dirty bomb" on its own land to blame Russia for using nuclear weapons.

Per the sources, Kiev is planning on carrying out provocations on its own land using what is called the "dirty bomb" or a low-power nuclear weapon, with the aim being to accuse Russia of using weapons of mass destruction, which would lead to a full-scale smear campaign against Moscow. 

Kharkov has witnessed previous attacks against its citizens by Ukraine, as around 30 people were killed on September 29 after a bus carrying them was attacked by Ukrainian forces on its way to the Russian border.
