The US has intelligence that Russia is planning a 'false-flag' operation on its own forces in eastern Ukraine to create a pretext for invasion.
Officials on Friday also said they believed Russia was mounting a social media disinformation campaign to portray Ukraine as the aggressor.
The update, making the prospect of military conflict more immediate, came as Ukrainian government websites were taken offline in a 'massive' cyberattack, talks between Washington and Moscow collapsed and Russia held a combat readiness inspection of their troops.
Meanwhile, Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov said Russia had 'run out of patience' with the West as Moscow demanded assurances that NATO would not expand closer to its territory.
The United States has evidence that operatives trained in urban warfare and sabotage will carry out these attacks on Russian proxy forces, officials told journalists on Friday, possibly weeks before an invasion.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki warned of human rights violations and war crimes if diplomacy failed and the Russian government went ahead with its plans.
'We have information that indicates Russia has already pre-positioned a group of operatives to conduct a false flag operation in eastern Ukraine,' she said.
'The operatives are trained in urban warfare and using explosives to carry out acts of sabotage against Russia's own proxy forces.'
She said it mimicked the playbook used when Russia annexed the Crimean peninsula, and included social media disinformation to show Kyiv as the instigator of violence.
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said the intelligence was 'very credible.'
The Kremlin quickly denied it was preparing a provocation. Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the reporting was based on 'unfounded' information, according to the TASS news agency.

Hitler...Poland...1939!
Democrats projecting again - it’s what they do.
All this talk of false-flags is very encouraging. A new level of sophistication in the American public?
Its really difficult to wade through US deep-state narrative-pushing and propaganda.
I’ve lived in Communist countries, and I feel exactly like I did when I was trying to understand whatever the state-run media was feeding the public at the time.
They will claim that right wing whites have engaged in a major terrorist attack.
Wag The Dog, Part Duex.
Got to get the eyes off the terrible crap on Xiden’s plate.
War with the Russians... yeah... that will do it.
How FBI of them!
US “intellegence”. Snort.
This is from Jake Sullivan. The guy is a soulless sociopath. I wouldn’t beleive anything that came from that guy.
Any reports emanating from “US intelligence” simply cannot be trusted.
Pedo Joe is all for wiping the Ukrain off the face of the earth . . . they have stuff on him and his Pedo Son.
Even IF true, the cat’s kinda out of the bag now, no?
Neah.
This is likely projection on the part of the Biden Administration.
We’ll stage a false flag on ourselves like Gulf of Tonkin attack, or maybe the Maine.
If Blinken is forced to resign, this will fit my prediction that the deep state will use the SecState office as a Trojan Horse for their true presidential candidate.

The Russians don’t need to do any such thing. They are going to take it and they don’t give a damn how it hurts people’s feels. Nato does anything and Russia will shut off the flow of spice.
I can’t think of any time where we actually attacked our own troops. Exaggerated an enemy attack or got someone else to attack an ally maybe, but murdering your own soldiers as a provocation is a specialty of totalitarian regimes.
Do all 17 intelligence agencies agree?
