MOSCOW, Jan 14 (Reuters) - Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov on Friday dismissed Western media reports that said Moscow was preparing a provocation in eastern Ukraine as based on "unfounded" information, TASS news agency reported.

A U.S. official said earlier on Friday that indications are that "Russian influence actors are already starting to fabricate Ukrainian provocations in state and social media to justify a Russian intervention and sow divisions in Ukraine." (Reporting by Gabrielle Tétrault-Farber; Editing by)
