Russia brought its allegations that Ukraine is preparing to use an explosive mixed with nuclear material, known as a dirty bomb, to the UN Security Council on Tuesday.
Dmitry Polyanskiy, Russia’s deputy ambassador to the UN, said he was happy Moscow brought the issue to the Security Council. “I don’t mind people saying that Russia is crying wolf if this doesn’t happen because this is a terrible, terrible disaster that threatens potentially the whole of the Earth,” he said.
Ukraine and its Western backers have accused Russia of lying about the accusation, and Western officials have said Russia hasn’t shown any evidence to back up its claim. When asked about the lack of evidence, Polyanskiy said that Russia had shared intelligence on the issue with the West.
Also on Tuesday, Ukraine turned the accusation around and claimed Russia was working on a dirty bomb at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), which has been under Russian control since March. Ukraine’s state nuclear operator Energoatom made the claim without offering evidence and only said it “assumes” Russia is “preparing a terrorist act using nuclear materials and radioactive waste” stored at the ZNPP.
The ZNPP has been the site of frequent shelling since it has been under Russian control. Ukraine has blamed the incidents on Russia, but Moscow has little reason to attack a nuclear plant that it controls.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said Monday that it’s sending inspectors to two locations in Ukraine where Russia claimed work is being done to create a dirty bomb. IAEA chief Rafael Grossi said the UN nuclear watchdog is sending inspectors at the request of Kyiv.
Moscow is claiming that Ukraine is planning to detonate a dirty bomb as a false flag to blame Russia for a tactical nuclear strike. The US, France, and Britain released a joint statement claiming Russia is making the accusation as a pretext to escalate the war.
Russians are so naive to think, that US/NATO care if Ukraine uses dirty bomb? Remember those white helmets?
I doubt that naivety is at play here. Russia almost certainly believes that Western leaders were already aware of the threat. They took it to the UN, in my opinion, to force an investigation, and to get their warning into public view.
The Russians do know the inmates in the WH asylum are irrational and unpredictable, Trump was noisier, the only difference.
Don Julio, when you vote something down, I think most readers would like to know and understand why…! Might even get a good debate going…
I think if some of us posted a response to every single thing here we disagreed with, we’d not have time for anything else.
Don Julio?
More like Cuvervo. 🤮
I don’t think they are naïve, they are screaming fire. Only the US/NATO inmates are screaming they are liars and our retarded. manipulated public trusts the Lunatics in the WH.
Russia working in gathering the evidence they don’t have. Lol.
The IAEA was not able to tell where the shelling came from in the NPP while they were inside the plant, they are good for nothing.
They will send two duds of inspectors who will find nothing if it would bite them in their A**es.
Or if they find something they will do as the Pipeline investigators do, “we know what is going on and know who did it but we will not tell you, nothing to see, move on”
We have such a credible POS running the asylum.
From RT Oct. 25,2022
” Lawmakers retract letter urging Biden to pursue peace
Within hours, Jayapal “clarified” that the progressive caucus still backs Biden’s “ongoing military and economic support” for Kiev, and by Tuesday afternoon, the letter was withdrawn entirely.”
So much for democracy in action. We witness the failure of a once great Democracy.
Biden is a demented dictator, we don’t know who pulls his strings, he can take the nation to war without congressional consent for 90 days with a possible 90 day extension in which time he can destroy the planet several times over.
That should scare the sh*t out of you, if you were not so ***** fill it out.
Scary but true…
The US, UK, France the 3 nuclear powers gang up, that does not make them more trustworthy. Grossi will find nothing anyway, he has lost all credibility with the ZNPP investigation.
There is also the NS pipeline issue, where 3 NATO nations claim they know who did it but will not tell, they do know Russia obviously did not do it, or they would tell us and show the evidence.
Chances are they were involved, had knowledge of what would happen and have to cover up the facts.
Sad that all our international institutions have lost all credibility, all are bending and do as the US tells them to do, even the UN has been contaminated and lost all credibility.
Sounds like you have the makings a political thriller Renate….
Donna, maybe some young John le Carre is writing the thriller already.
The LUNATICS in the WH ASYLUM and KIEV are on the loose and running AMOK.
