Churches or symbolic sites may be targeted, with Western drone fragments planted to blame Kyiv
Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence Service (SZRU) warned on 2 January that Russian security services are preparing a false flag attack designed to kill civilians and blame Ukraine — with the likely timing around Orthodox Christmas celebrations on 7 January 2026.
The warning comes as part of what SZRU describes as a broader Kremlin operation to derail US-mediated peace negotiations.
