Russia’s statements that Ukraine can apply a “dirty bomb” in its own territory, for the liberation of which Kyiv stubbornly fights is absurd. This was stated by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in an interview with Politico. His statements are given by The Insider.
“It is absurd to say that Ukraine will use a” dirty bomb “in its own territory, for the liberation of which Kyiv is so stubbornly struggling. What is bothering us is that this is part of the Russian strategy that we have seen before – in Syria. And also at the beginning of the war and immediately before the start of the war in February. “
Stoltenberg added that Russia should not use these false accusations or statements as an excuse for the further escalation of war in Ukraine.
On the eve of the Minister of Defense of Russia Sergey Shoigu, by telephone informed the heads of defense departments of Great Britain, Turkey, France and the USA, which are possible provocations from Ukraine using a “dirty bomb”. The US Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleb in response said that Ukraine is committed to the agreement on non -proliferation of nuclear weapons, does not have a “dirty bomb” and is not going to purchase it. The Ministry of Defense of the USA, Great Britain and France called the words Shoigu.
“Dirty Bomb” or a radiological scattering device is an explosive device that combines a radioactive material with conventional explosives. When the charge is undermined, the radioactive substance is sprayed with a shock wave on a large area.
