THE HAGUE, October 20. /TASS/. NATO may orchestrate a false flag operation in Ukraine to escalate the conflict, leader of the Dutch far-right Forum for Democracy Thierry Baudet wrote on Twitter on Thursday.

"I fear the losing NATO army in Ukraine may set up a terrible and devastating false flag to blame Russia and further escalate the conflict. We need peace, not WW3," the tweet reads.

The lawmaker was earlier suspended from debates in the country’s parliament for failing to disclose his part-time job as Amsterdam Media Group Director.

On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a special military operation based on a request from the heads of the Donbass republics. In response, the United States, European Union members and their allies imposed major sanctions on Russia and stepped up weapons supplies to Kiev.
