West rejects Russia’s ‘dirty bomb’ claim as Moscow activates counter-WMD forces

[onthedarkside]

 

Western defense chiefs are rejecting Russian claims over the weekend that Ukraine is preparing to detonate a “dirty bomb” on its own territory, warning that Moscow may use the “false” accusation as a pretext to escalate the conflict.

 

The comments came as Russia put forces on alert on Monday to respond to a potential chemical, biological or nuclear weapons attack, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense.

 

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu held a flurry of phone calls with his counterparts in the U.S., France, the U.K. and Turkey over the weekend to discuss the allegations, but the Western leaders rejected his claims, officials said.

Where there is smoke there is fire, Ukraine has the know how to make a Dirty Bomb. There are all kinds of lies that must be exposed, no one wants this war to go nuclear not even the Russians.

I think viewing anything that comes out of the Kremlin as lies and misinformation is probably a good place to start.

 

Unfortunately the Kremlin knows they can rely on what they refer to as ‘useful idiots’ to back their propaganda and psychological warfare.

More baseless nuclear rhetoric from Russia, anything to distract from their dismal failures, attempting to sow fear and possible false flag operations.

 

Again no evidence presented on this, oh wait, they did try this as justification, using an old image from 2016 as evidence. Crop the image they've used do an image source search and its a widely used image dating back to at least 2016 and used on various websites.

More amateur propaganda by Russia using fake images claiming they're from Ukraine to justify their accusations. The bottom tweet

“The IAEA inspected one of these locations one month ago and all our findings were consistent with Ukraine’s safeguards declarations,” said Director General Grossi. “No undeclared nuclear activities or material were found there.”

The IAEA is preparing to visit the locations in the coming days. The purpose of the safeguards visits is to detect any possible undeclared nuclear activities and material.
 

The collective west has already rubbished Russia’s claim. And yet, the IAEA will still visit the 2 locations. Wonder why. Rhetorical question. I’m sure the results of the visits will be as expected, much like Nordstream.
