News from Al-Madinah: After Russian President Vladimir Putin accused her of seeing signs of the construction of “a dirty bomb,” the International Atomic Energy Agency said on Monday evening that it had begun searching in Ukraine at its request.
The Vienna -based United Nations agency, in a statement, said that its inspectors “began and Sinhon soon to verify the activities of two signed in Ukraine.
According to the announcement, Rafael Grossi, general manager of the Agency, promised to present “his initial results on recent verification efforts at the two sites” later this week.
The International Atomic Energy Agency was requested to send inspectors to the two facilities by the Ukrainian government, which is why the inspections have taken place.
Russia claims that Ukraine is prepared to use dirty bombs against Russian forces, but Kiev believes that Russia may be doing this to blame Ukraine for the attack in an effort to legitimise Moscow’s later use of nuclear weapons in response to recent setbacks in eastern and southern Ukraine.
The government stressed that “no unannounced nuclear activity was identified” last week after announcing that it had checked one of the locations “a month ago.”
The so-called “dirty bomb” comprises of conventional explosives encircled by radioactive substances designed to disperse in the air during the explosion.
Last Thursday, Putin contacted the organisation to ask them to “as quickly as possible” dispatch a mission to Ukraine.
