Russia today accused Ukraine of planning to blow up a radioactive ‘dirty bomb’ in Ukraine and blame it to Moscow.
Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu has claimed this in his calls to the NATO nations on Sunday.
Russian Minister said that Ukraine can escalate the war with a ‘dirty bomb’ that uses explosives to scatter radioactive waste.
He further said that it does not have the effect of a nuclear bomb, but it can expose broad areas to radioactive contamination.
Sergei said, “The motive of this planning of Ukraine is to accuse Russia of using weapons of mass destruction in the Ukraine and then launch an anti-Russian campaign throughout the world.”
Russian Defence Minister also claimed “The calculation of the planners of the ‘dirty bomb’ is that if works successfully, many nations will react harshly against Russia. Thus, Russia will lose the support of many of its key partners in the world, Sergei added.
