On the 24th, the Russian authorities reiterated their claim that Ukraine could use a “dirty bomb”.
The “dirty bomb” is a type of radioactive weapon filled with radioactive material in a conventional bomb and is considered a low-powered nuclear weapon.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in a telephone conference on the 24th that “the threat of dirty nights will not disappear if the West does not trust the information provided by Russia”.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said: “I am concerned that Ukraine is preparing to use ‘Dirty Bomb’ in disputed areas in a series of phone calls with defense ministers of the United States, Britain, France and Turkey ( renamed ‘Turkiye’) the day before (23). I said it. “
However, the ministers of defense of the United States, Great Britain and France, the subject of the call, rejected the request.
The Pentagon said in a press release that “Secretary (Lloyd) Austin has informed Secretary Shoigu that he rejects any pretext from Russia to worsen the situation,” the Pentagon said in a press release.
■ “Now it’s their problem”
In a conference call on the 24th, spokesman Peskov repeatedly stressed that “the threat is clear”.
“The Russian defense minister has clearly warned the parties (the defense ministers of the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Turkey) of the dangers over the phone,” he added.
These remarks by Russian officials, which appeared two days in a row, could be a signal that the Russian military will soon use nuclear weapons in Ukraine under the pretext of a “preemptive nuclear strike”, and the West is watching.
■ Watch the “Russian Nuclear Attack Signal”
On the 23rd, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitro Kuleva tweeted that US Secretary of State Tony Blincoln had agreed to “agree that Russia’s ‘Dirty Night’ disinformation campaign is an excuse for the ‘Fake Flags’ operation”.
Operation false flags is a term used to refer to a military technique that manipulates an opponent to attack by pretending to have acted first.
Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov urged the Russian authorities the 1st to consider the use of low-powered nuclear weapons in order to reverse the current situation in which Ukrainian forces are repelled from the recapture operation on the eastern and southern fronts of the ‘Ukraine.
■ call plan of the top “not at the moment”
In a press conference on the 24th, Peskov stated at a press conference on the 24th that when asked if President Vladimir Putin intended to speak to US President Joe Biden or French President Emmanuel Macron, just as the Defense Minister Shoigu spoke with Western ministers, said, “Not at the moment,” he replied.
He went on to say Putin is curbing talks with French and German leaders who don’t listen to Russia’s views.
“French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz have recently shown no intention of listening to Russia or trying to mediate,” Peskov said.
