The US Embassy in Kyiv compares the current events in Ukraine with the scenario developed in Georgia in 2008 and says that the world will no longer be fooled by lies.

"Russia’s execution of transparent, hackneyed plots to justify an invasion would be laughable if they weren’t so destructive and dangerous.

False flag operations, disinformation, and now it’s own proxies “requesting” protection. It’s all straight from the Georgia playbook, and the world is no longer fooled by the lies," reads the Embassy's Twitter statement.
