The Russian Defense Minister confirmed Kyiv’s preparedness to provoke by using a “dirty bomb” during phone conversations with NATO members, but Ukrainian President Foludmir Zellinski dismissed the claims on Sunday.
“If Russia claims that Ukraine is planning for anything, it only means that Russia has already made all of the necessary preparations. I believe that the world should react as harshly as possible “Posted on social media by Zellinski.
Zelinski made his remarks after his secretary of state, Demotto Couliba, termed the Russian defence minister’s allegations as serious.
Near order to cast blame on the Russian forces, Coliba claimed that Russia is lying about its intentions to use Kyiv as “a dirty bomb,” a reference to the low-power nuclear weapon, or even the potential to attack a dam in Jeuceon that might flood the entire city.
According to Sputnik, Sergey Shoigo, the Russian defence minister, told his French counterpart Sebastian Lecorno over the phone that he believes the Ukrainian government is resolutely pushing for an unchecked escalation of the situation.
Shwigo also warned in separate contacts as well, with his British counterpart, Ben Wallace, and Turkish Khulusi Akar, of any Ukrainian provocation, also noting of the “dirty bomb”.
These declarations followed the Novosti agency citing credible sources in many nations, including Ukraine, who claimed that “there are indications of preparation Kyiv provocating by employing a dirty bomb or low-strength nuclear weapons.”
It is noteworthy that since the beginning of the Russian military operation on Ukrainian territory on February 24, concerns about the conflict and its escalation have increased to unbelievable heights, particularly after Russian President Vladimir Putin hinted at the possibility of using the atomic bomb in a speech broadcast on September 21.
Zelinski denies Russia’s allegations of a “dirty bomb” and urges a severe response.
