Russian state media TASS is reporting thrwarting "terrorist" attacks against Russian civilians in Eastern Ukraine. We were expecting a casus belli soon, seems like this might be it and on schedule. These FSB guys are clowns. They are literally using the same playbook that put Putin in power with the explosives attacking civilians play with the last Chechen war. Putin's using this and claiming without any evidence that there's "genocide" going on.

The Russian TASS news site reported that an attempted terrorist attack had been thwarted in Luhansk, a city controlled by pro-Russian separatists in the disputed Donbas region, on Tuesday, amid continuing concerns of a possible Russian invasion into Ukraine.
The report claimed that the Ukrainian Defense Ministry and Ukrainian special services may have been involved.
According to the report, an improvised explosive device was discovered in a trash can in the city where a rally for the Russian Memorial Day of soldiers-internationalists, which commemorates those soldiers who fell while operating abroad, was planned.
The Ministry of State Security of the Luhansk People's Republic stated that the alleged explosive device could have caused civilian casualties if it had not been found and neutralized.
The alleged IED was made of a mobile phone, electronic detonator, two TNT blocks and metal rods, according to the report.
During a press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Tuesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that "what is happening in the Donbass is genocide.
