On the 24th, Russian authorities repeated their claim that Ukraine could use a ‘dirty bomb’.
A ‘Dirty Bomb’ is a type of radioactive weapon that contains radioactive material in a conventional bomb, and is considered a low power nuclear weapon.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in a telephone conference on the 24th that “the threat of dirty nights does 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 a ‘Dirty Bomb’ in disputed areas in a series of phone calls with the defense ministers of the United States, Britain, France and Turkey ( renamed to ‘Turkiye’). ) the day before (23rd). I’ve said it.”
However, the defense ministers of the United States, Britain and France, who were the subject of the call, rejected the claim.
The Pentagon said in a press release that “Secretary (Lloyd) Austin informed Secretary Shoigu that he rejects any excuse from Russia for escalating the situation,” the Pentagon said in a press release.
■ “It’s their problem now”
In a telephone conference on the 24th, the spokesman Peskov repeatedly emphasized that “the threat is clear.”
“The Russian defense minister has clearly warned the parties on the phone (US, UK, French and Turkish defense ministers) of the dangers,” he added.
These comments by Russian officials, which appeared two days in a row, could be a sign 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’
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitro Kuleva tweeted on the 23rd that US Secretary of State Tony Blincoln had agreed to “agree that Russia’s ‘Bad Night’ disinformation campaign is a pretext for operating ‘Fake Flags’.”
False flag operation is a term used to refer to a military technique that influences an adversary to attack by pretending to have acted first.
Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov urged Russian authorities on the 1st to consider the use of low-power nuclear weapons in order to reverse the current situation where Ukrainian forces are being pushed back by the recapture campaign on the eastern and southern fronts of the Ukraine.
■ “not currently” peak call plan
In a press conference on the 24th, Peskov said in a press conference on the 24th when asked if President Vladimir Putin had plans to talk to US President Joe Biden or French President Emmanuel Macron, just like the Defense Minister Shoigu spoke to Western ministers, he said, “Not at the moment,” he replied.
He went on to say that Putin is breaking down negotiations with the leaders of France and Germany who are not listening to Russia’s views.
“Recently, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz have shown no intention to listen to Russia or try to mediate,” Peskov said.
