Today, Wednesday, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg disputed what he called “Russia’s assertions that Ukraine intended to use what is known as a dirty bomb.”
“The allies explicitly reject these fake accusations, and that Russia should not use these allegations to escalate the war,” said the General Secretary of the Alliance – in statements carried by the American “ABC” channel.
He continued by saying that “NATO” would support Ukraine’s right to self-defense in whatever way necessary without being frightened or discouraged.
In Moscow, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova expressed today, Russia’s anger at Italy’s decision to withdraw the country’s invitation to attend the meetings of the group of experts to combat the spread of weapons of mass destruction.
“We express our serious dissatisfaction over Italy’s decision to withdraw the invitation it had previously extended to Russia to attend the conference of a group of operations experts associated with the anti-deployment of nuclear weapons, which will take place in Rome on October 26.
She went on to say that Moscow saw Rome as an unassailable step, highlighting the fact that Russia is utterly separating itself from any understandings and agreements that the nations taking part in the Rome event came to.
“We are also motivated by the fact that the Western approach to politicising the efforts of the security initiative to stop the spread of weapons of mass destruction throws into doubt the validity of all initiatives undertaken within that framework.
“Russian diplomacy underlined the Russian Federation’s sustained commitment to the non-spread issue and its willingness to make a significant contribution to the accomplishment of the pertinent objectives in collaboration with these partners who are genuinely engaged in this.
Notably, the security anti-proliferation project seeks to develop a system for the quick identification and suppression of threats originating from weapons of mass destruction, their delivery mechanisms, and related materials.
It is important to note that Singapore, Canada, Norway, and Russia all joined the effort to stop the spread of WMDs in 2004.
