The parent poster was talking about US intelligence. We should not believe them since they fabricated the whole WMD nonsense as a reason to start war in Iraq. Nobody is giving the benefit of the doubt to Russia here, as they haven't said anything.
Given the situation, I dont see much reason for a pretext on Russias part. They will either pull the trigger on this thing or not. At this point vlad would probably feel weak if he backed down, so things are kind of stuck.
